About

Bivouac Daniele Bertolutti sits at 1,741m on the eastern slopes of Monte Coglians in the Carnic Alps. Reach it from Paularo village via the Sella Chiampaz route—allow 2.5 hours for 550m of ascent on a marked trail. This is a working mountain pass, so the approach doubles as a ridge walk with views across the Friuli valleys.

The bivouac is a small unstaffed shelter with 9 beds split between two rooms. You'll find a wood stove, basic sleeping platforms with mattresses, and a logbook. Bring your own food, water, and sleeping bag. There are no meals or services here. The shelter opens year-round but is genuinely winter-only above November—snow closes the approach trail from December to April in most years. Summer use is light; autumn is the reliable season.

No booking system exists. Beds are first-come-first-served. Bring cash if you want to leave a donation. Check conditions with CAI Carnia before setting out, especially for snow coverage or rockfall reports. The logbook will tell you when others last used the place. Stock water carefully—the nearest reliable source is near Sella Chiampaz, 45 minutes below.

Frequently Asked Questions

This is an unstaffed bivouac, so there's no booking system—it operates on a first-come, first-served basis. Check the logbook on arrival and leave a note with your details.

Year-round as an unstaffed shelter, though winter access depends on snow and weather conditions; the Carnic Alps can be serious in winter, so plan accordingly.

Start from Paularo village and follow the marked trail via Sella Chiampaz; allow 2.5 hours for 550m of ascent on a well-maintained path.

9 beds across two rooms with mattresses, a wood stove for warmth, and a logbook—bring your sleeping bag, food, water, and other essentials as there are no meals or staffing.

The 2.5-hour approach and marked trail suit competent hikers, but the spartan unstaffed conditions—no water, meals, or wardens—make it better for experienced mountaineers comfortable with self-sufficiency.
