About
Bivacco Saverio Occhi sits at 2,040m in the Val di Fassa, Trentino. Reach it from Canazei in 2.5 hours via the Fedare valley trail, or from Passo Fedare in 1.5 hours. Both routes climb steadily through larch forest before opening onto alpine meadow. The bivouac marks a junction point for climbers heading into the Sassolungo massif and mountaineers tackling peaks in the Catinaccio range.
This is a basic bivouac shelter, not a staffed rifugio. It provides emergency shelter and sleeping space for roughly 8–10 people on a first-come basis. There's no food service, water supply, or heated facilities. Bring your own food, water, and sleeping gear. The shelter is unmanned year-round, though it sees most use from June through September when the surrounding peaks are in condition.
Plan to be fully self-sufficient. This is a mountain shelter for experienced hikers and climbers, not a comfortable overnight option. If you need meals and a warmer bed, stay in Canazei or Passo Fedare instead. Check conditions locally before setting out; winter access is unreliable and the shelter offers minimal insulation against severe weather.

Frequently Asked Questions
No—it's an unstaffed bivouac, so there's no booking system. Arrive early in peak season if you want a spot, as capacity is limited and it fills on popular weekends.
Year-round in theory, but realistically June through September when snow melts and the approach trails are clear; check current conditions before winter attempts.
From Canazei, take the Fedare valley trail for 2.5 hours, or start from Passo Fedare for a 1.5-hour approach; both routes climb through larch forest into alpine meadow.
Basic emergency shelter and sleeping platform only—no meals, water, heating, or staffing; bring your own sleeping bag, food, and water or be prepared to melt snow.
No—it's for mountaineers and experienced hikers only; the remote location, lack of facilities, and exposure to weather make it unsuitable for families or casual walkers.
