About
Bivacco Pian di Campo sits at 1,895m in the Ticino Alps, accessed via the Val di Campo north of Rodi-Fiesso. The approach takes 3–4 hours from the valley floor. This is a basic shelter, not a staffed hut. The bivouac sits in open alpine terrain with direct access to ridgeline routes and peaks across the southern Swiss Alps.
The bivouac has 2 beds and minimal facilities. There is no guardian, no meals, and no water source. You bring your own food, fuel, and sleeping bag. The shelter provides basic protection from weather. This is suitable only for experienced mountaineers who can manage self-sufficiency at altitude. Use it as a base for early starts on technical climbs or as an emergency shelter during long traverses.
Book in advance through the Ticino Alpine Club (CAI Ticino) or check conditions before you go—the hut's remote location means upkeep can be irregular. Winter access is unreliable. Summer is the only predictable season (July–September). Bring a headtorch, stove, fuel, and full mountaineering kit.
