About

Bivacco Eugenio Segalla sits at 3,050m on the ridge between Passo Nero and Monte Nero in the Brenta Dolomites. Reach it via the Val di Rzona approach from Madonna di Campiglio, a steep climb of 4–5 hours from the valley. Most climbers ascend from Rifugio Dodici Apostoli (2,596m), which cuts the final push to 2–3 hours and roughly 450m of vertical.

This is a basic emergency shelter, not a staffed rifugio. It sleeps six across two small rooms and offers no water, heating, or meals. The structure provides walls and a roof—bring a sleeping bag and expect cold nights even in July and August. Winter and shoulder seasons are usable only by experienced mountaineers with proper gear. The bivvy serves climbers tackling peaks across the Brenta: Monte Nero, Campanil Basso, and traverses linking multiple summits. Solitude and altitude are the draw here, not comfort.

Book through SAT (Società degli Alpinisti Trentini) or check rifugi.net for current conditions before departure. The hut fills rarely outside July–August. Notify SAT if you plan to stay to help with maintenance and safety records. Bring everything: sleeping bag, cooking fuel if you want hot food, water, and a headtorch. Tell someone where you're going—emergency access is difficult.

Frequently Asked Questions

You don't—it's an unstaffed emergency shelter with no booking system. Arrive early, leave space for others, and register in the logbook if you stay overnight.
Open year-round as an emergency shelter, but only reliably accessible June through September when snow clears the approach. No staff, no services.
From Madonna di Campiglio, take the Val di Rzona approach (4–5 hours, steep); most climbers start from Rifugio Dodici Apostoli at 2,596m and climb 450m in 2–3 hours. Either way, expect a serious ascent on exposed terrain.
Six beds in two small rooms, that's it—no water, heating, stove, or meals. Bring everything: water, food, sleeping bag, stove.
No. This is for experienced mountaineers only—steep, exposed approaches, high altitude, and zero amenities or emergency support on-site.
