Baita Gimont was built in 1935. On 31 May 1964, CAI ULE Genova officially acquired the property, fulfilling the section's plan to have its own alpine refuge, as many other sections of the Italian Alpine Club had already done. At the end of June that same year, with a three-day celebration, the section officially took possession of the building, opening a new chapter in its history. Since then, the refuge has become an integral part of CAI ULE Genova's identity and of the memories of generations of members, hikers and skiers.

Well before the refuge was purchased, the Claviere and Monti della Luna area was already popular with many ULE members. It was here, in January 1923, that the association's ski section held one of its very first organised ski outings — testament to a bond with this land that has lasted over a century. Over the years, the connection to the area never faded: first through skiing, then through hiking and the outdoor activities that still bring these mountains to life today. A relationship built over time, made of shared experiences, friendships and a passion for the alpine environment.

Since 2020, Mariano and Mariana have been taking care of the refuge, aiming to preserve its identity while making it ever more welcoming for guests. Between 2021 and 2022, a major renovation of the rooms was carried out.
