Bivouac Aldo e Sergio Gusmeroli
1.2Bivacco Aldo e Sergio Gusmeroli
About
Bivacco Aldo e Sergio Gusmeroli sits at 1881m in the Bergamo Alps, a few kilometres northwest of Pizzo Badile. The approach takes roughly 3 hours from the carpark at Roncaglia. Head uphill through mixed forest on a marked trail, then break into open terrain and navigate to the bivouac using waymarks and cairns. Fit hikers use this as a staging point for ascents of peaks in the Badile group or as a refuge during ridge traverses in the area.
The bivouac is a small, basic structure—expect sleeping platforms, a log book, and a water source nearby. It does not provide meals, blankets, or cooked food. Capacity is around 10–15 people in tight quarters. The site is normally accessible from June through September, depending on snow cover. Check conditions locally before heading up in spring or autumn.
This is an unstaffed bivouac, so no advance booking is needed or possible. There is no telephone service or warden. Arrive early in the day to secure space, especially on weekends during summer. Carry all food, water, fuel, and a headtorch. Register in the log book on arrival. In bad weather or overcrowding, be ready to descend or use a tent. Winter access is technical and only for experienced mountaineers with skis or crampons.
