Bivacco Saverio Occhi

Bivacco Saverio Occhi sits at 2,040m in the Prättigau Valley, accessed from the village of Schiers in eastern Graubünden. The approach takes 2.5 to 3 hours on foot from Schiers, following the Sämtis trail upward through mixed forest and alpine meadow. The final section climbs more steeply to reach the hut. This is a bivouac shelter, not a staffed alpine hut, so expect basic conditions and self-sufficiency.
The bivouac provides emergency shelter and sleeping platforms for roughly 6 to 8 people. There is no food service, running water, or heating. You'll need to bring a sleeping bag, stove fuel, and all provisions. The shelter operates year-round, though snow and rockfall risk make winter approach difficult. A guest book inside tracks visitors; conditions can vary widely depending on maintenance and recent use.
Bring everything you need for self-catering and shelter. There is no telephone contact or online booking system. The bivouac is maintained by local alpinists and rescue volunteers. Check conditions beforehand with local hiking clubs or the Schiers tourist office, as access and shelter condition can change seasonally. This hut suits experienced hikers and mountaineers comfortable with minimal amenities.
