About
Bivacco Malga Sambuco sits at 1530m on the eastern slopes of the Brescia Alps in Lombardy. The hut is accessed via hiking trails from the Val Camonica, with the approach typically taking 2–3 hours depending on your starting point. This is a remote, high-pasture location suited to walkers and mountaineers using it as a base for exploring the surrounding peaks and ridges.
The bivacco is a simple, unstaffed refuge with 5 beds. It's maintained by CAI Cedegolo and offers basic shelter with no services—bring your own food, water, and sleeping bag. The hut operates year-round, though winter access depends on snow conditions. This is an alpine bivouac designed for self-sufficient parties, not a staffed hut with meals. Plan accordingly.
Contact CAI Cedegolo directly before your visit to confirm access and obtain the key. Book well ahead if visiting July or August. The hut sees moderate use from local mountaineers and hikers tackling ridge traverses in this less-crowded section of the Brescia Alps.
