About

The bivouac sits at 1,070m in the Julian Alps of Friuli Venezia Giulia, roughly 2 hours from Monrupino. The approach follows marked paths through mixed forest and open pasture. This is a working base for climbers tackling the limestone cliffs and ridges that define the eastern Julian Alps.

The bivouac is unguarded and unstaffed. It provides basic shelter—a small structure with bunks and essential protection from weather. Water and provisions are your responsibility. Capacity is limited to around 8–10 people. The site operates year-round, though winter access can be difficult and requires mountaineering experience. There are no meals, heating, or amenities beyond roof and walls.

This is not a tourist hut. Book only if you understand how to move in mountains unsupported. Contact CAI at cai.it or the Monrupino section directly to confirm current conditions before departure, especially in winter or after heavy snow. The bivouac suits climbers making early starts on nearby rock routes or alpine traverses. Solo hikers or groups inexperienced with basic mountaineering should use staffed rifugis lower in the valleys instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

This is an unguarded bivouac with no warden, so there's no formal booking system—arrive early in summer if you want a bunk, or be prepared to camp outside. Check rifugio.net or contact CAI Monrupino section for current access information and any seasonal restrictions.

It's open year-round as an unstaffed shelter, but practically usable in summer (June–September) when approach paths are snow-free; winter access requires mountaineering skills and avalanche awareness.

Start from Monrupino (roughly 2 hours away by car/local transport) and follow marked paths through mixed forest and open pasture to the bivouac at 1,070m; total hiking time is around 2 hours from the trailhead depending on fitness and route.

Expect basic shelter only—a small structure with bunks and weather protection, no water on-site and no meals provided, so bring all food, water, stove, and sleeping kit yourself.

No—this is a climber's base for tackling limestone cliffs and ridges; it requires self-sufficiency, basic mountaineering experience, and comfort with unguarded shelter. Families and hikers wanting amenities should use staffed rifugi instead.
