About

Bivacco Giovanni Grazzini sits at 2020m on the slopes above Collio in the Trentino-Alto Adige region. Reach it from Collio village in roughly 2.5 hours on foot, following marked trails through mixed woodland and alpine pasture. The final approach climbs steeply to the bivouac itself. Snow covers the area from November through May.

This is a small, basic refuge run by CAI's Collio subsection. It has 12 beds in dormitory spaces, with no electricity or running water—a true mountain shelter rather than a hut with amenities. There is no guardian (rifugista) or meal service. Bring all food and water. The bivouac provides weather protection and serves as a base for climbing and hiking in the immediate area, including approaches to higher peaks and ridge traverses.

Access details and current opening dates vary seasonally. Contact CAI Collio directly before planning your visit to confirm conditions and access. Check rifugi.it for availability records, though booking is typically informal for small bivouacs of this type. Come prepared for self-sufficiency and winter conditions if traveling outside summer months.
