Bivouac Rotary Val Clavalité - Egidio Borroz
1.7Bivacco Rotary Val Clavalité - Egidio Borroz
About
Bivacco Rotary Val Clavalité sits at 2,156m in the Val Clavalité, a quiet side valley above Aymavilles in Valle d'Aosta. Reach it via the CAI trail from Aymavilles village (about 3 hours' walk). The approach gains 1,200m through mixed terrain and is straightforward but steep in sections. This is a small bivouac—expect a basic, no-frills shelter rather than a full rifugio.
The hut has 24 beds across simple dormitory rooms. There is no restaurant service or kitchen—you bring your own food and cook on a camping stove or portable equipment (open flames are not permitted). Water comes from a nearby spring. The facility opens year-round but winter access depends on snow conditions. In summer months, the bivouac fills quickly with parties tackling climbs on the nearby rock and mixed terrain.
Book directly by email or phone. Contact details are listed on rifugi.net. Book at least 2–3 weeks ahead for July and August weekends. For winter use, confirm access conditions with the guardian before you go. This is the place if you want minimal facilities and maximum quietness—not for anyone expecting hot meals or private rooms.
