About
Bivacco Lago di Bos sits at 2130m on the northern shore of Lago di Bos in the Orobie Alps of Lombardy. Reach it from Piazza Brembana or via the Val Brembana approach—count on 2.5 to 3.5 hours depending on your route. The surrounding terrain offers immediate access to ridge walks and scrambles across the higher Orobie peaks.
This is a basic mountain shelter with 4 beds total, suitable for small parties or solo mountaineers. There is no running water, showers, or flush toilets—bring a headlamp and expect minimal comfort. The bivacco provides emergency shelter and a roof, nothing more. You'll need to carry a stove, fuel, and all food. The hut is typically open from June through September, though weather can close it earlier or later.
Book directly with local mountain guides or check current conditions before heading out, as this is a working shelter rather than a staffed facility. Winter and shoulder seasons are unreliable; confirm accessibility before committing to a trip. The Orobie Alps see serious weather, so go prepared for cold nights and sudden changes.
