About

Bivacco Aldo e Sergio Gusmeroli sits at 1,881m in the Bergamasc Alps above the Val Seriana, east of Brescia. The approach takes 2.5 to 3 hours from Rifugio Nembro (1,224m), following the Valle della Rossa through mixed forest and alpine meadow. The hut is accessible year-round on foot, though snow can obscure the trail from November to April. Summer access via Val Seriana is more direct but requires a vehicle to reach the trailhead near Ardesio. This is a working base for climbs on the northeast face of Pizzo Camanghé and traverses across the Bergamasc high country.
The bivacco is a small, unmanned emergency shelter with minimal facilities. It provides basic protection but no water, heating, or services. Space is extremely limited—this is a shelter of last resort, not a hut with beds or meals. Bring your own water, fuel, and food. The structure is maintained by local volunteers and the hut's namesakes. Summer conditions are best from June through September, though the hut is accessible whenever the approach is snow-free.
Contact the municipality of Nembro or check with local mountaineering groups for current access conditions and maintenance status. This is not a destination for comfort or certainty—it exists for mountaineers who need emergency shelter during extended rock and scrambling routes in the region. Plan your trip around established huts like Rifugio Nembro if you need reliable facilities.
