About

Bivacco Damiana del Gobbo sits at 1991m in the Carnian Alps of Friuli Venezia Giulia. Reach it via the Sella Nevea area or from the Resia Pass side. Most approaches take 3–4 hours from the valleys below. This is a working mountain shelter on serious terrain, not a casual day-walk destination.

The bivouac is a small, basic structure with limited capacity—expect 8–10 places maximum. There is no staffed kitchen or meals service; you bring your own food and fuel. Water is available seasonally from nearby sources. The shelter provides emergency cover and a place to sleep during traverses or when weather demands a retreat from higher ridges. It operates year-round, though winter access requires winter mountaineering skills and avalanche awareness.

Book through CAI (Club Alpino Italiano) at cai.it or contact the local CAI section in Friuli Venezia Giulia directly. This is a staffed-unstaffed hybrid, so confirm current status before arriving. Plan 2–3 months ahead for peak summer (July–August). Bring a sleeping bag, mat, and headtorch. Water and fuel are essential. This bivacco serves climbers moving through the high ridges; treat it as a waypoint, not a destination.

Frequently Asked Questions
