Bivacco Spera (Zani Sperandio)

Bivacco Spera sits at 1953m in the Albula Alps near Bergün in Graubünden. Approach via the Val Tuors from Bergün village (1374m), a hiking route of roughly 2.5 hours that gains 580m steadily through larch forest and alpine meadow. The final section crosses open terrain with cairn markers. This is a genuine bivouac—a small, unguarded shelter designed for emergencies or climbers moving between peaks, not a staffed mountain hut.
The shelter provides basic protection with 2 beds and no services. There is no food, water, or heating. You must carry everything you need: sleeping bag, mat, stove, fuel, and supplies. The bivouac is open year-round but is most accessible June to September when snow clears the approach. Winter access requires mountaineering skills. Expect a rough interior with minimal amenities—this is shelter, not comfort.
Register your use at the Bergün information office or with the managing SAC section before departure. Respect the space and leave it clean for the next user. Because capacity is just 2 people and the shelter is unguarded, do not assume it will be available. Check locally whether others have booked it ahead. Bring a headtorch and map; there is no marked trail in poor visibility.
