Bivacco Fop di Cadì

Bivacco Fop di Cadì sits at 1,850m in the Cadore region of the Dolomites, in northeastern Italy. The hut anchors routes into the Tre Cime di Lavaredo massif and surrounding limestone terrain. Approach from Auronzo di Cadore village (40km northeast of Cortina d'Ampezzo) via the Tre Cime road to Tre Croci pass, then hike south on marked paths in roughly 90 minutes. This is serious Alpine country with exposed scrambling in places—come with experience and proper footwear.
The bivacco operates as a simple refuge for 6 people across basic dormitory beds. Drinking water is available on-site. Flush toilets function during the open season. There is no kitchen or meal service—bring your own food and cooking equipment if needed, or self-cater. The hut operates year-round in theory, though winter access is weather-dependent and support is minimal. This is a shelter first, a comfort destination second. Expect cold nights and no frills.
Phone ahead to confirm availability and current conditions before attempting to reach the hut, especially outside summer months. Winter approach requires winter mountaineering skills and proper equipment. The site sits exposed to weather; arrive early and check forecasts. This bivacco suits experienced hikers and climbers who value remoteness over amenities.
