About
Bivacco Corradini sits at 2,850m in the Hautes-Alpes, deep in the Parc National des Écrins. Access is via the Vallouise valley; most approaches take 4–5 hours on foot from the road end. This is a remote mountain shelter, not a staffed hut. The location suits climbers targeting peaks in the Massif du Pelvoux or experienced hikers crossing high terrain.
The bivacco sleeps 6 in basic dormitory conditions. There is no warden, no meals, no drinking water, no showers, and no flush toilets. You bring your own food, fuel, and water. The shelter provides a roof and sleeping platforms. Winter snow often makes access impossible. The building is typically open June through September, though mountain conditions dictate actual usability. Verify access before setting out.
Book in advance through the FFCAM or local mountain guides if you need confirmation of conditions or logistical support. The hut fills during summer weekends and in July–August. Bring a headtorch, a stove, food for multiple days, and water purification tablets. This shelter suits only experienced alpinists and self-sufficient hikers. Do not rely on rescue services in poor weather.
