About
Bivacco Pian di Campo sits at 1895m in the Trentino-Alto Adige region, serving as an emergency shelter and basic overnight stop for climbers and hikers working the surrounding peaks. Access is via hiking trail from the valleys below; allow 3–4 hours from standard trailheads depending on your starting point. The approach involves steady elevation gain through mixed terrain.
This is a true bivouac—not a staffed rifugio. Two beds provide minimal shelter only. There is no food service, no water on-site, and no facilities beyond basic weatherproofing. Bring everything you need: food, water, a stove, fuel, and a sleeping bag. The structure remains open year-round, though winter access requires winter mountaineering skills and full equipment. Most users are mountaineers transitioning between peaks or climbers caught by bad weather.
Contact the local SAT (Società degli Alpinisti Trentini) section or check with a mountain guide service in the Trentino region for current access conditions and to verify the bivouac's status before attempting to stay. Notify someone of your plans. This is a self-service shelter—no booking system exists. Arrive early if you plan to use it, as the two spots fill quickly on busy weekends.
