About
Bivacco Momi sits at 1,071m in the Veneto Dolomites, on the approach to climbs in the Tre Cime di Lavaredo massif. Reach it from Auronzo di Cadore in 2.5 hours via trail 101, or from Rifugio Sorau in 1.5 hours. The route gains 400m steadily through beech forest and alpine meadow.
This is a basic bivouac—a small, unguarded shelter with minimal facilities. It sleeps around 8 people on benches. There is no water, food, or heating. Bring your own sleeping bag, mat, and supplies. The bivouac is open year-round but winter access depends on snow conditions and avalanche risk. Use it as a starting point for dawn ascents of Cima Grande or for traverses across the Tre Cime.
There is no booking system or guardian. Arrive early if you plan to stay overnight, especially on weekends in summer. The shelter fills quickly. Bring a headtorch, water bottle, and warm layers. Check conditions with Rifugio Sorau or the Cortina d'Ampezzo Alpine rescue service (SAR) before heading up in winter or bad weather. Registration with local authorities is advised.
