Bivouac Claudio Costanzi Albasini
1.2Bivacco Claudio Costanzi Albasini
About
The bivouac sits at 2,365m on the Schiara massif in the Dolomites, in the Veneto region. Reach it from Passo Ghedina (1,620m) in 2.5 to 3 hours on foot, following marked trails through alpine meadow and scree. The approach is straightforward but exposed in bad weather. This is a working base for climbers tackling the rock routes on Schiara's eastern face.
The bivouac is a small, unstaffed refuge with 15 beds in basic dormitory accommodation. Water is available from a nearby spring, though you should carry a filter or purification tablets. There is no electricity, heating, or cooking facilities. You must bring your own food and stove if you plan to cook. Capacity is tight and the hut fills quickly during climbing season (June through September). Winter access requires mountaineering skills; snow and ice cover the approach.
This is a club-managed shelter run by CAI. Book through cai.it or contact the Belluno section directly if planning a July or August visit—aim for at least one month ahead. July is peak season for rock climbers. Check conditions before heading out, as the exposed approach becomes dangerous in thunderstorms or strong wind. The bivouac is unguarded; leave a donation and respect the shelter's limited resources.

Frequently Asked Questions
Book directly with CAI Belluno or check rifugi.net; as an unstaffed bivacco with only 15 beds, aim for at least 2–3 weeks ahead during peak season (July–August). There's no warden, so you'll need to arrange access and confirm availability before heading out.
Open June through September; it's unstaffed year-round, so you're entirely self-sufficient once inside. Snow can block access before June and after September.
Start from Passo Ghedina (1,620m) and follow marked trails across alpine meadow and scree for 2.5–3 hours to reach 2,365m. The route is straightforward but exposed in poor weather.
Basic dormitory beds for 15 people, water from a nearby spring, and a shelter—but no meals, no shower, and no warden. Bring all food and be prepared to manage waste.
No—this is a climbers' base for Schiara's rock routes, not a hiking hut. The unstaffed setup, exposed approach, and 2,365m elevation demand solid mountain experience and self-sufficiency; it's not suitable for families or casual hikers.
