Bivouac Romano Cimenti - Cirillo Floreanini
1.0Bivacco Romano Cimenti - Cirillo Floreanini
1,070m
Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy
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.
