Julian Alps, Slovenia
About
Bivacco Daniele Bertolutti sits at 1,741m in the Julian Alps, accessible from the Trenta Valley via established routes. The approach takes roughly 3–4 hours on foot from the valley floor, making it a reasonable day's walk for experienced hikers. The bivacco serves mountaineers and hikers tackling routes in this remote northern section of the Alps, close to the Slovenian-Italian border.
This is a basic, unstaffed bivacco with 9 beds—expect a simple shelter rather than a staffed mountain hut. There is no running water, no electricity, and no prepared meals. You bring your own sleeping bag, food, and water. The bivacco provides a strategic stopping point for winter ascents and multi-day mountaineering traverses in the Julian Alps. The hut operates year-round, but winter access requires alpine experience and proper equipment. Summer use is heavier, particularly July and August.
Contact Triglav National Park or PZS (Planinska zveza Slovenije) for current condition reports before your trip. The bivacco fills quickly during the summer season—book your visit or check availability in advance with local mountain guides or the park authority. Winter access requires self-sufficiency and route-finding skills; do not rely on marked trails alone.
