About

This bivouac sits at 640m in the foothills north of Lake Como, accessible from the Val d'Assina near Carnago. The approach takes 2–3 hours on foot through mixed woodland and open slopes. The location works as a base for day hikes into the lower Prealps or as an overnight stop on longer traverses through the region.

The bivouac is tiny: it sleeps 1 person. There's a self-catering kitchen, so bring your own food and fuel. No guardian is present. It's open year-round but most useful in the warmer months when lowland approaches are practical. This is a working shelter, not a service hut—expect basic conditions and no hot meals or water service.

Book through CAI Carnago or check rifugi.net for current details. Contact the managing section at the CAI website to confirm access and current conditions before you go. The isolation and small size mean this bivouac suits solo hikers or pairs who are self-sufficient and comfortable with minimal facilities.
