Bivouac Serodoli

Bivacco Serodoli sits at 2,385m on the south face of Cima d'Asta in the Lagorai range, eastern Trentino. Reach it from Rifugio Lagorai (1,840m) in 3–4 hours via marked trail 339, which climbs steeply through larch forest then alpine meadow. The final approach scrambles over loose scree with fixed chains at the steepest sections. Most parties access it as a waypoint for traverses across the Lagorai or as a base for climbing routes on Cima d'Asta's south face.

This is a true bivouac: an open shelter with a metal roof and wooden platform inside, capacity roughly 8–10 people lying down. There's a metal water tank outside, but no warden, no meals, and no facilities beyond the shelter itself. You must bring everything—a sleeping bag, mat, food, stove, and a headtorch. Expect wind and cold even in summer. The bivouac is open year-round, though snow and ice often block access from November to May.

Treat this as a self-service shelter. No booking is needed, and no fees are charged. Respect the space: pack out all waste and leave the platform clean. Check conditions at Rifugio Lagorai before starting, as rockfall and scree hazards vary with weather and season. Winter ascents demand climbing experience and avalanche awareness.
