About
Bivacco Lamè sits at 2,422m on the ridge between Punta Lamè and Punta Nera in the Maritime Alps, in Piedmont's southwestern corner. Reach it from Rifugio Muserà (1,897m) via a marked trail that climbs steeply for 2 hours across scree and rocky terrain. The approach demands scrambling ability and route-finding in the final section. This is not a hut for casual hikers.
Bivacco Lamè is an unmanned emergency shelter with room for 4–6 people. It has a basic roof, walls, and a wooden platform for sleeping—bring your own sleeping bag and mat. There is no water, food, or heating. The bivouac is open year-round but only accessible when snow doesn't block the approach, typically June through September. Its small capacity and minimal facilities make it useful only for mountaineers doing multi-pitch rock climbing on the nearby peaks (Punta Lamè, Punta Nera) or as a last-resort emergency shelter for high-altitude trekkers.
This is not a staffed rifugio, so advance booking is impossible. Treat it as an emergency resource, not a planned overnight option. Carry all your own food, water, and equipment. Check conditions with Rifugio Muserà before setting out, as rockfall and loose terrain are regular hazards. The approach is exposed and dangerous in poor weather or when wet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Don't—it's an unmanned bivacco with no booking system. Show up and use it on a first-come basis as an emergency shelter; treat it as a backup, not a destination.
Year-round and unstaffed. Access is weather-dependent; most practical June–September when snow clears from the Maritime Alps approach.
Hike 2 hours steeply from Rifugio Muserà (1,897m) across scree and rock with scrambling and route-finding required in the final section—plan 4–5 hours total from the trailhead.
None beyond basic shelter: a roof, walls, and wooden sleeping platform for 4–6 people. Bring your own sleeping bag, pad, water, and food.
No—this is strictly for experienced mountaineers comfortable with scrambling, rock terrain, and self-sufficiency; families and casual hikers should use staffed rifugios like Muserà instead.
