About
Bivacco Alberto Zamboni sits at 1,995m on the Alpi Apuane in Tuscany, Italy. Reach it from the village of Arni in 2 hours hiking via the Fosdinovo approach, or from Campocecina (higher starting point) in 90 minutes. The route is steep and rocky—bring good boots. Once there, you're positioned for ascents of Pizzo d'Uccello and access to the limestone peaks that define this range.
This is a basic mountain shelter with 4 beds total. It's unguarded and unmanned, so you bring your own food, water, and sleeping bag. There's a woodstove for warmth. The bivacco operates year-round but snow and ice make winter access difficult; most use runs May through October. Water availability varies by season—check conditions before you go.
Email the managing organisation to confirm availability and current conditions. The tiny capacity means you won't find crowds, but it also means you can't rely on a keeper or hot meals. This is for self-sufficient mountaineers who want shelter in the high limestone country, not hikers seeking hospitality.
