About

Bivacco Brigata Orobica sits at 3,382m on the Orobian Alps in Trentino-Alto Adige. Approach from Rifugio Fedare (2,571m) in 3.5–4 hours of steep scrambling over mixed terrain. The final section involves chains and exposed climbing; previous alpine experience is required. This is a true high-altitude bivouac, not a staffed hut.

The bivouac holds 8 beds in a basic metal shelter with no guardian, water, or meals. You bring everything: sleeping bag, food, water (melt snow in winter; carry from lower elevations in summer). The shelter provides essential wind and weather protection. Open year-round, though winter access demands ice axe and crampons. Facilities are minimal—expect a metal box with bunks and nothing more.

Book spots through SAT (Società degli Alpinisti Trentini) via their website or contact them directly. The bivouac is popular with alpinists planning ascents of nearby peaks. Summer weekends fill quickly; aim to confirm your intention 2–3 weeks ahead. Winter use requires self-sufficiency and proper mountaineering skills. Bring a headlamp, stove, and fuel—you'll need to melt snow for water unless you carry everything up. This is climbing terrain, not a hiking destination.
