About
Bivacco Pian dei Boi sits at 1,262m in the Apennines, accessible from the village of Sassofeltrio in the Pesaro e Urbino province. The approach takes 2.5 to 3 hours on foot from the nearest trailhead. This is a mountain bivouac rather than a staffed hut, designed for self-sufficient users on through-routes or alpine scrambles in the region.
The bivouac provides basic shelter with a capacity of around 6–8 people in cramped quarters. There are no meals, running water, or heating—bring your own stove, fuel, sleeping bag, and mat. The structure offers protection from weather but expect minimal comfort. This is a refuge of last resort for mountaineers, not a base for leisure hiking. Open year-round, though winter snow can make access difficult. Check local conditions before attempting a winter visit.
Treat this as an unmanned shelter. There is no booking system and no guardian on-site. Arrive early if you plan to use it during busy periods on popular routes. Carry a headtorch and a map; the final approach can be unmarked. Leave the bivouac clean for the next user—pack out all rubbish.
