About

Bivouac Forcella Coldosè sits at 2,163m on the Forcella Coldosè pass in the Dolomites, between Cortina d'Ampezzo and the Tre Croci pass. Reach it from Cortina via the Tre Croci road, then hike south towards the pass—roughly 1.5 hours on foot. The approach is straightforward and well-marked, gaining about 400m elevation. This is a working-mountaineer's stop, not a destination hut.
The bivouac sleeps 12 in two simple rooms with basic bunks. Bring your own sleeping bag and mat. Drinking water is available on-site. There are no meals, heating, or electricity—you carry your own food and stove. The bivouac operates year-round, though winter access depends on snow conditions and your own winter mountaineering skills. The location makes it useful for early starts on scrambles and rock routes in the surrounding peaks, particularly approaches to Passo Ghedina climbs.
This is an unmanned facility. Check conditions locally in Cortina before heading up, especially outside summer months. Capacity is tight—expect to share close quarters with other climbers. Leave the bivouac clean and respect the log book protocol. If winter access is your plan, scout conditions carefully; the pass can be avalanche-prone depending on snow loading.
