About
Bivacco Cacciatori sits at 1973m on the ridge between Monte Cacciatori and Cima di Valli in the Ligurian Apennines. Reach it from Passo del Gottaccia (about 1.5 hours) or from Monesi di Triora (roughly 2.5 hours). The approach crosses steep terrain and involves scrambling in places. Come prepared for exposed ridge walking and variable conditions, especially in winter and spring.
This is a basic mountain bivouac with capacity for about 8 people. There's no water supply on-site—collect it from streams lower on the mountain. The hut has a wood stove and sleeping platforms with mattresses. Bring your own food and cooking fuel. There are no caretakers and no meals provided. The bivouac is typically accessible May through October, though snow can linger into June. Winter ascents are possible but require mountaineering skills and winter-specific gear.
Access is unrestricted and free. This is a self-service shelter, so arrive before dark and leave the hut clean. There's no booking system—you can't reserve a spot. Expect crowded conditions on weekends in July and August, particularly among groups doing multi-day ridge traverses. The hut fills up fastest during the hunting season closure (check local regulations). In shoulder seasons, you'll often find solitude.
