Demanding
About
Bivacco Dell'Angelo sits at 1,662m in the Veneto Alps, accessible from the Val d'Assa valley near Asiago. The approach takes 2–2.5 hours on foot from Rifugio Camporossignano or 1.5 hours from higher trailheads. This is a bivouac shelter, not a staffed hut—expect basic protection and minimal amenities. The structure offers emergency refuge for 4–6 people maximum and contains a wood stove, basic bedding, and a logbook. Bring your own food, water, and sleeping bag. Winter snow and ice can make access difficult; summer and autumn are the reliable seasons. The hut serves hikers tackling ridge traverses across the Asiago plateau and mountaineers moving between peaks in the Veneto range.
This is a club hut managed by CAI. Check conditions before departing—the bivouac can become inaccessible after heavy snow or rockfall, and maintenance is seasonal. Arrive with headlamp even if daylight is fading; navigation on the plateau deteriorates quickly. There is no phone signal and no warden on-site. Carry water; the nearest reliable source is at lower elevations.
Treat the bivouac as emergency shelter first, planned accommodation second. Respect the logbook—record your presence, condition of supplies, and any damage. Leave the shelter clean and the stove stocked with kindling for the next party.
