Latemar/Sieff Attilio
2,365m
Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy
About
Latemar/Sieff Attilio sits at 2,365m on the eastern flank of the Latemar massif in Val di Fiemme. Reach it from Passo di Rolle (2,209m) in 1.5 hours, heading north-northwest past Lago di Sorapis. The final approach gains 150m steeply. This is a working mountain shelter, not a tourist destination, so come prepared for minimal services.
The bivacco holds 8 beds and 10 emergency places on simple cots with mattresses. A wood stove provides heat. No meals, no running water, no power. You bring all food and water. The structure dates to 1976, built on the ruins of a shepherds' hut and named for Attilio Sieff, a young firefighter volunteer. The CAI staffs it through summer; it remains open but unstaffed from late autumn through spring.
Book by email via rifugi.cai.it or contact the hut directly by phone. Summer weekends fill quickly—book 4-6 weeks ahead for July and August. Off-season visits require self-sufficiency: the hut is locked, but you can shelter inside. Bring a headtorch, fuel stove, sleeping bag rated to freezing, and all water. This place suits experienced mountain users who understand what "unstaffed bivacco" means.
