About

Bivacco del Pastore Rasmulì sits at 1,942m on the slopes of the Paganella massif in Trentino-Alto Adige. Reach it from Andalo by hiking the trail marked for Rifugio Fedare, then branch onto the path toward Passo Ghedina. The hut lies roughly 2 to 2.5 hours from the village. Terrain is steep in places but straightforward in dry conditions. Winter access depends on snow cover and avalanche risk; check locally before attempting off-season visits.

This is a basic bivouac, not a staffed rifugio. It provides a roof, a few bunks, and little else—no meals, no water, no heating. Capacity is around 10–12 people, so expect tight quarters. Bring your own sleeping bag, stove fuel, food, and water. The structure offers emergency shelter for hikers and mountaineers working the Paganella circuit or approaching peaks in the area. The location works well as a mid-route stop on longer ridge traverses.

Access is free and unrestricted. Check the hut's condition before heading up, especially after winter. Local hiking guides and the CAI section in Andalo have current information on route conditions and bivouac maintenance. Bring a headtorch and map—the approach can be confusing in poor visibility.
