About
Bivacco Campoluzzo sits at 1,780m on the slopes of Monte Campoluzzo in the Veneto Dolomites. Reach it from Passo Ghedina (1,530m) via a steep 1.5-hour climb through mixed forest and alpine meadow. The approach is well-marked but exposed in places—bring a helmet if rockfall is recent. This is a working approach for climbers tackling the limestone walls above.
The bivouac is a small, unmanned shelter with 5 beds across two rooms. There's no water, no heating, no meals. Bring a stove, fuel, food and a sleeping bag rated for mountain cold. The shelter offers basic protection from wind and weather. A logbook inside tracks visitors. Check conditions before you go—snow and ice can block access November to April.
This is a climber's refuge, not a hiker's hut. Use it as a base for early starts on nearby rock routes or as an emergency shelter during long days. No booking system exists—the bivouac operates first-come, first-served year-round. Contact the local CAI section (CAI Cortina) for current access information and condition reports. Stock supplies in Cortina d'Ampezzo before heading up.
