About
Bivacco Tre Fontane sits at 1,874m on the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni in the Veneto Dolomites. Reach it from Asiago town by hiking the marked trail north through beech forest to the plateau edge, then traversing east across open pasture. The walk takes 3–4 hours depending on your starting point. The bivouac is small and unstaffed, designed for climbers making pre-dawn starts on nearby mixed rock and scrambling routes.
The structure sleeps 6–8 people on a basic wooden platform. There is no water, electricity, heating, or meals. Bring everything you need: water, food, a sleeping bag, and a mat. The roof keeps rain off but expect cold nights year-round. Winter snow can make access difficult or impossible. The bivouac is open from June through September; check conditions locally before winter attempts.
Bivacci (emergency shelters) do not require advance booking. Simply arrive and use the shelter. The hut is maintained by local climbing groups and the CAI. Respect the space: leave it as you found it and remove all rubbish. If you need a staffed hut with meals and reliable services, consider Rifugio Asiago nearby. Check current access conditions with CAI Asiago or the Asiago tourist office before setting out.

Bivacco Tre Fontane is unstaffed and operates on a first-come, first-served basis—no booking needed. Treat it like a mountain shelter: arrive early if you want to secure a spot on the wooden platform.
It's open year-round but only practical June through September when snow melts and access trails are passable; winter conditions on the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni make it unreliable.
Start from Asiago town, hike north through beech forest to the plateau edge, then traverse east across open pasture on marked trails—3 to 4 hours depending on your exact starting point.
Basic wooden sleeping platform for 6–8 people, but no water, no kitchen, and no services—bring a stove, fuel, and full water capacity.
Not for beginners or families—it's designed for mountaineers making pre-dawn starts on nearby mixed rock and scrambling routes; minimal shelter and no amenities make it only suitable for self-sufficient hill walkers.
