About

Bivacco Casera Pramaggiore sits at 1,812m in the Julian Alps of Friuli Venezia Giulia. Reach it from the Passo di Pramaggiore (1,535m) in roughly 1.5 hours on foot, following marked trails through alpine pasture and scattered larch forest. The approach is straightforward hiking terrain with no technical difficulty. Vehicle access reaches the pass from the Val Tagliamento side, making this a practical base for exploring the Julian ridge lines to the east and west.

This is a small unstaffed bivouac operated by CAI San Vito al Tagliamento. It sleeps 8 people on basic bunk beds inside a simple stone shelter. There's no guardian, no meals, and no running water—bring a stove, fuel, and all supplies you'll need. The shelter offers protection from weather and is maintained year-round, though it fills quickly during summer weekends and the climbing season (June–September). Winter access depends on snow conditions.

Book through CAI San Vito al Tagliamento or check availability via cai.it. Keys are held locally; contact the club directly to arrange access. July and August weekends attract serious parties heading into the higher peaks, so confirm availability before committing to the route. The hut works best as a base for mountaineering sorties rather than casual overnight hiking.
