Bivouac Giorgio Brunner
2.7Bivacco Giorgio Brunner
About
Bivouac Giorgio Brunner sits at 2,632m in the Dolomites, accessible via the Tre Cime di Lavaredo circuit. The approach takes 3–4 hours from Auronzo di Cadore or the Tre Cime car park, climbing steep scree and rock paths that require scrambling experience. This is a high mountain hut—not a casual walk-up.
The bivouac is a small, unmanned refuge with 9 beds in basic dormitory accommodation. There is no guardian on site, no meals served, and no water supply. Bring a stove, fuel, food, and water from lower elevations. The structure provides shelter, a roof, and four walls. It's used primarily by mountaineers doing early starts on the Tre Cime ridge traverses or as an emergency shelter. No electricity or heating. Winter access is difficult and not recommended without serious alpine experience.
Contact CAI Sezione XXX Ottobre for current access information and to confirm the hut is open and habitable. Conditions at this elevation change fast—check mountain weather before heading up. The bivouac fills only during high season (July–September), but you should still verify access since it's unmanned. Bring a headtorch and be prepared for cold nights even in summer.
