About

Bivacco Reginaldo Giuliani sits at 3,100m on Sassolungo in the Dolomites. Reach it from the Val Gardena in 2–3 hours via the marked trail from Ortisei or Selva. This is serious terrain: scrambling and exposed rock are part of the approach. The bivouac was the first built in the Dolomites, opened in 1935.

The hut sleeps 5 in basic bunks plus 4 emergency places on the floor. There is no guardian, no meals, and no water on-site—bring everything you need. The bivouac opens fully in summer (June–September) with occasional staffing. Winter access is possible but the hut remains unheated and unmanned. Expect cold, spartan conditions year-round. This is a refuge for mountaineers doing multi-pitch climbing or ridge traverses, not a base camp for casual hikers.

Book via rifugi.cai.it or email CAI Bolzano directly. July and August fill quickly; reserve at least 6 weeks ahead. Outside summer, email to confirm access and conditions. Bring a sleeping bag, water, snacks, and a headtorch. The bivouac is not a place to linger—use it as a high-altitude overnight before dawn starts on technical terrain.
