Bivacco Città di Clusone

Bivacco Città di Clusone sits at 2050m on the slopes above Clusone in the Bergamasque Alps. The approach takes 2–2.5 hours from Clusone town. This is a small, basic shelter designed for climbers and hikers working in the surrounding peaks rather than a destination in itself. The hut lies in rough terrain favored by rock climbers accessing the limestone walls and ridges of the region.
The bivacco sleeps 6 people in basic dormitory conditions. It has no meals service, electricity, or running water—you carry your own food and water or melt snow. A wood stove provides heat. The hut opens year-round, though winter access depends on snow conditions and avalanche risk. It functions as an emergency shelter and base camp rather than a comfortable overnight stay. Climbers use it to start early ascents of nearby routes.
Contact the CAI di Clusone section directly by phone to check availability and current conditions before heading up. Snow and rockfall can block the approach route in winter and spring. This is a serious mountaineer's shelter in an exposed location—only attempt it if you're equipped for alpine conditions and self-sufficient overnight.
