About
Bivacco ANA Telve sits at 2,080m in the Lagorai Range, deep in the Veneto Alps between the Cismon and Travignolo valleys. Approach from Rifugio Neva (1,645m) via a marked trail that climbs steeply northeast for roughly 2.5 hours. The route crosses subalpine terrain and gains 435m elevation. This is not a walk-up hut—it serves as a base for ascents of Cima Telve (2,618m) and traverses of the high ridge system. Most parties reach it in the afternoon and overnight before climbing.
This is a small unmanned bivouac, not a staffed rifugio. It provides basic shelter with sleeping platforms and a wood stove. Capacity is limited to 8–10 people. There is no guardian, no food service, and no running water. Bring a sleeping bag, a stove, and all provisions. The bivouac opens June through September, depending on snow melt. Winter access is possible but requires alpine climbing skills and winter gear.
The ANA (Associazione Nazionale Alpini) maintains this structure. Check conditions directly with Rifugio Neva before heading up, as snow and weather can make the approach impassable outside summer. No advance booking is needed—it operates on a first-come basis. Bring a headlamp and map; the route is marked but navigation in poor visibility requires competence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Bivaccos are unstaffed shelters, so booking isn't required—just show up. Check rifugio.net or contact CAI Trentino beforehand if you want to confirm current conditions or report your arrival.
It's open year-round as an unmanned refuge with basic shelter, but best visited June–September when the approach and high ridge traverses are snow-free and safe.
Start from Rifugio Neva (1,645m) and follow the marked trail northeast; it's a steep 2.5-hour climb gaining 435m of elevation to reach 2,080m.
Expect a small unheated shelter with basic sleeping platforms and a roof—bring your own sleeping bag, mat, and stove. There's no water, food, or heating; fill containers at Rifugio Neva before departing.
No—this is a mountaineer's base for technical ascents like Cima Telve and ridge traverses. The approach is steep and exposed; go only if you're comfortable at altitude with scrambling skills and can self-rescue.
