About
Bivacco Pian del Lago sits at 2,325m in the Prättigau valley southeast of Schruns in Vorarlberg, eastern Switzerland. Reach it from the Silvretta reservoir car park by hiking 2.5 hours to Paternostersee, then continuing 1 hour to the hut. The final approach crosses rough terrain with cairn markers. This is a true mountain bivouac—bring a map and navigate carefully in poor visibility.
The bivouac sleeps 4 in a simple stone hut with bunk beds. There are no services: bring your own food, water, and fuel for cooking. A small stove provides basic heating. The hut opens mid-June through September, depending on snow conditions. You'll need to be self-sufficient and prepared for mountain weather. This is for experienced alpinists, not casual walkers.
The bivouac operates without a guardian or advance booking system. Arrive early if you plan to use it; there's no way to reserve beds. Check current conditions with the Vorarlberg tourism office or the SAC before heading up. Winter access is not recommended without winter mountaineering experience.
