About
Bivacco Alpe Pian di Boit sits at 1,122m on the eastern flank of the Orobie Alps in Lombardy. Reach it from Piazza Brembana by hiking the Val Serina trail for roughly 2.5 hours. The approach is steady and well-marked, gaining around 500m through mixed forest and alpine pasture. The final section crosses open moorland before you reach the hut buildings.
This is a small, basic bivouac—not a staffed rifugio. It sleeps 6 across two rooms and has no running water or heating. You'll find a wood stove for cooking and basic sleeping platforms with mattresses. The hut is unmanned, so you're responsible for upkeep. Outside facilities include a water source near the buildings. Summer and autumn are the reliable seasons; snow closes the approach from November through April.
This bivouac works best as a staging point for traverses in the Orobie or as a base for day hikes into the surrounding valley system. Check with CAI Bergamo before heading out—they maintain the trail and hut access information. Bring your own food and fuel. Donations support the structure; leave payment in the donation box. For current conditions and access details, contact the CAI Bergamo section or check cai.it.

6 beds in two rooms, a wood stove, but no running water, heating, or meals—bring your own food, water, and sleeping bag. It's basic shelter, not a service hut.
Not ideal for beginners or families—the 2.5-hour approach is moderate, but you need self-sufficiency with water, food, and fire management since there's no staff or facilities.
