About
Bivacco del Servizio sits at 2,584m on the ridge between Passo del Spluga and Passo San Bernardino in the Splügen Valley. Reach it from Nufenen on the San Bernardino Pass road in about 2.5 hours on foot, following marked trails southeast toward the pass ridge. The approach is straightforward hiking on established paths with moderate elevation gain.
This is a basic bivouac managed by CAI Sezione Valle Spluga. It sleeps 9 people on simple bunks in a stone structure. There is no guardian and no water supply—bring all drinking water with you. The hut offers shelter and basic sleeping facilities only; you must bring a stove, fuel, and food. This is a self-service mountain shelter for hikers and mountaineers wanting to access high terrain early. The bivouac is typically accessible from June through September, though weather can close access earlier in spring or later in autumn.
Book through CAI Sezione Valle Spluga well in advance during July and August. Confirm opening dates before your trip, as maintenance and snow conditions can affect access. This hut suits climbers tackling San Bernardino or alpine walkers doing ridge traverses; bring a headtorch and be prepared for full self-sufficiency.
