About
Bivacco Giusto Gervasutti sits at 1,940m in Val di S.Lorenzo above the village of Sorga in the Veneto Alps. Reach it on foot from Sorga in roughly 2.5 hours via a marked trail that climbs steadily through forest and alpine meadow. The approach is straightforward in summer but snow-covered in winter, requiring winter mountaineering skills. This is a small, basic shelter, not a hut with meals or services.
The bivouac has 9 beds and room for 9 more in emergency situations. It is staffed during summer months only. Winter access is possible for self-sufficient parties with winter gear and navigation skills, though the shelter is then unmanned. There is no running water, no meals service, and no WiFi. Bring water from the spring below the hut or melt snow in winter. The shelter works best as a base for day hikes into the surrounding peaks or as an overnight stop on longer traverse routes.
Contact CAI directly to check current conditions and book. Email or phone are your options—check rifugi.cai.it for contact details and to confirm opening dates before you travel. Winter visits require serious planning and self-reliance. Summer booking is sensible from May onward if you want to guarantee a spot.
