Bivouac Giuliano Perugini
3.4Bivacco Giuliano Perugini
About
Bivacco Giuliano Perugini sits at 2,060m in the Tagliamento valley, managed jointly by CAI Trieste. Reach it from Rifugio Pordenone (1,249m) via CAI trail 353 in 2 hours. The approach is straightforward hiking through established terrain.
The bivouac has 9 beds plus 9 emergency spaces. Facilities are basic: a table and benches, but no meals, no piped water (collect from a source 100m away), and no power. The hut reopened after renovation in 2005. Staff are present during summer months. Winter access is possible but the hut remains unstaffed then—bring a sleeping bag and be prepared for cold.
Book by email through rifugi.cai.it or contact CAI Trieste directly. Summer weekends fill quickly July through September; reserve well ahead. Winter use requires advance notice so staff know someone is coming. This is a working climber's base, not a resort hut—go prepared.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes—the 2-hour approach from Rifugio Pordenone is non-technical hiking, but expect very basic conditions (no meals, no water on-site) and bring a headtorch and full provisions.
