About
Bivacco alpe Mudada di Rozzo sits at 1,615m in the Orobian Alps of Lombardy, above the Val Seriana. Reach it from Arnica village in about 2.5 hours on foot via mule track through alpine pasture. The route gains 600m steadily but without technical difficulty, making this a reasonable day-hike approach from the valley floor.
This is a basic mountain shelter with no guardian and minimal facilities. You get a roof, walls, and drinking water. Capacity is small—a dozen people maximum. Bring your own sleeping bag and mat. There's no heating, electricity, or prepared meals. The bivacco works best as a staging point for early starts on longer routes rather than a destination in itself. Open year-round, though winter access depends on snow conditions and avalanche risk on the approach.
Plan to arrive before dark and be completely self-sufficient. Bring a headtorch, food, water containers, and a map. Check current conditions with CAI Bergamo before heading up in winter or after heavy snow. This is a working knowledge shelter, not a staffed rifugio—treat it with respect and leave it as you found it.

Frequently Asked Questions
This is an unmanned bivacco, so no booking is needed—it operates on a first-come, first-served basis year-round. Expect basic conditions and bring a sleeping bag, stove, and food.
It's open year-round as an unstaffed shelter; however, winter access above 1,615m in the Orobian Alps requires alpine skills and proper gear. Summer (June–September) is the practical season for most hikers.
Start from Arnica village and follow the mule track through alpine pasture for 2.5 hours, gaining 600m with steady, non-technical climbing. The route is straightforward but exposed to weather.
Expect only shelter, walls, a roof, and drinking water—no meals, no beds, no heating. Capacity is 12 people maximum; bring sleeping bag, mat, stove, food, and water treatment.
The hike up is suitable for fit beginners due to steady terrain and no technical difficulty, but the bivacco itself is basic and requires self-sufficiency; families with experience wild camping will manage, but young children should skip the overnight stay.
