About
Bivacco Anghileri Rusconi sits at 2,654m on the south face of Monte della Disgrazia in the Masino Valley, Lombardy. Reach it from Bagni di Masino in 4–5 hours via the Val Roseg trail and scrambling across loose terrain. The final approach is steep and exposed; route-finding matters. This is a serious approach for hikers comfortable with scrambling and exposed ground.
The bivouac is a small unstaffed shelter with 9 beds in a single room. There's no guardian, no meals, no water on-site. Bring all food and fuel. A wood stove provides heat in poor weather. The space is tight and often crowded. Open June through September, weather permitting. Snow lingers into July most years.
This is a base for mountaineers climbing Monte della Disgrazia (3,678m) or traversing into the Bonacossa Massif. Hikers use it as an overnight stop on high-mountain routes. Check conditions before heading up—the approach can be snow-covered or swept by rockfall. Stock the hut yourself; many users leave supplies for others. There's no booking system. Arrive early in the day to secure space, especially on weekends. If full, consider the larger rifugio system in the Masino Valley instead.
