Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy
About
Vallaccia/Zeni Donato sits at 2,100m in Valle dei Monzoni, reached via a 2–3 hour hike from the valley floor. The bivouac serves as a base for traversing the surrounding valleys and for alpinism in the Monzoni group. This is a utilitarian shelter, not a staffed mountain hut.
The bivouac has 5 beds plus 5 emergency places on mattresses. There are no meals, no running water, and no WiFi. You bring your own food and fuel a stove. The shelter opens year-round but is staffed only in summer (roughly June–September). Winter access depends on snow conditions and avalanche risk—check conditions locally before attempting a winter visit.
Book via rifugi.cai.it or email the CAI directly. Phone contact is available. Summer weekends can fill, so book at least 2–3 weeks ahead for July and August. Outside peak season, a day or two ahead usually works. Bring a sleeping bag, food, water container, and stove fuel. This is a bare-bones shelter for experienced hikers and climbers who know how to be self-sufficient at altitude.
