Borgata Maison

The village of Borgata Maison was used until the 1960s. The village was slowly abandoned, as people parted with the countryside for city life. The buildings around the site are crude in nature and makes use of rocky outcroppings where possible.

Many are in an extreme state of disrepair, but some are in remarkably good condition. Near the schoolhouse, there is also a small chapel with frescoes on the exterior.

The hiking trails in the area pass through several small hamlets like this, some with only a few inhabitants, while others are entirely abandoned and in a state of decay. There are several other Alpine refuges in the area offering a free place to stay the night, Refugio Noaschetta being the closest. A hiking key may be available at the Gran Paradiso bar in the nearby town of Noasca. 

The chapel, schoolhouse, and abandoned hamlets are all along a marked trail.
