About
Bivacco Capanna Mattia sits at 2,600m on the Adamello plateau in the Lombardy Alps, roughly between the Adamello massif and the Presanella group. The easiest approach is from Rifugio Adamello (2,400m), a 30-minute walk northeast across open terrain. From the Adamello valley trailhead near Passo del Godi, allow 3-4 hours to reach the bivacco via Rifugio Adamello. This is high alpine country with exposed ridges and loose rock—navigate carefully, especially in poor visibility.
This is a true bivacco: a minimalist mountain shelter with 4 beds and a roof. There is no running water, no toilet, and no heating. Bring a sleeping bag, mat, and food. The hut marks the start of various mountaineering objectives including the Presanella traverse and approaches to peaks around the Adamello massif. It is managed by CAI Cedegolo section and operates year-round, though winter access requires winter mountaineering skills and avalanche awareness.
Contact CAI Cedegolo directly for current conditions and bed reservations: the bivacco fills quickly during July and August. Bring all water you need (or know where to find snow). Register with the hut keeper if anyone is present, or sign the logbook. This is a working shelter for serious alpinists, not a resort facility. Plan accordingly.
