Veneto, Italy
About
Bivacco Pozze sits at 1989m in the Dolomites above Val di Non in Trentino-Alto Adige. Reach it from Dimaro or Commezzadura in 3–4 hours on foot, climbing steeply through alpine meadow and scree. The final approach crosses exposed terrain where a head torch helps in poor visibility.
This is a basic bivouac, not a staffed rifugio. It has 9 beds in a single room, sleeping bag required. Water comes from snowmelt or a nearby spring—check availability in dry summers. There's no stove or heating. The hut stays open year-round but is genuinely exposed; winter access demands winter mountaineering skills and avalanche awareness. Use it as a base for approaches to peaks in the Val di Non group or as a night stop on longer ridge traverses.
Book through SAT Bresimo. Contact them directly to confirm bed availability and winter conditions before heading up. July and August see foot traffic; shoulder seasons (June, September) offer solitude and reliable weather. This is a hut for experienced hikers comfortable with minimal shelter and self-sufficiency.
