Veneto, Italy
About
Dalla Bernardina Ugo sits at 2,320m in the Torrent Ardo valley above the Piave river in the Veneto Dolomites. Reach it from the Passo Ghedina trailhead via a 3-4 hour ascent following marked paths through alpine meadow and scree. The hut is a small Apollonio-type bivouac built in 1959.
The bivouac holds 6 beds plus 6 emergency places on a first-come basis. There is no food service—bring all meals and snacks. Water must be carried from sources on the approach. No electricity or WiFi. The hut is staffed during summer months (roughly June to September) and remains open but unattended in winter, making it suitable for experienced parties with winter gear and navigation skills.
Book through rifugi.cai.it or contact the CAI manager directly by email before your trip. Summer weekends fill quickly; aim to book 4-6 weeks ahead for July and August. Winter visits require self-sufficiency and knowledge of avalanche terrain. Check conditions with the managing CAI section before setting out.
