Bivacco Alpe Ragozzale

Bivacco Alpe Ragozzale sits at 1912m in the Val d'Anniviers above Grimentz in Valais. Reach it from Grimentz village (1412m) by following the hiking trail towards Lac de Moiry; the approach takes roughly 2 hours and gains 500m steadily through alpine pasture and light forest. The final section crosses open terrain to the hut's location on the Alpe Ragozzale plateau. This is a hiking approach suitable for anyone with mountain legs, not a scramble.
The bivacco is a simple alpine shelter with 7 beds arranged in one communal sleeping area. There is no warden, no meals service, and no hot water. Bring a sleeping bag and mat. The shelter has a basic kitchen with a stove for cooking; you supply all food. Water comes from a nearby spring. The hut operates year-round but winter access depends entirely on snow conditions and avalanche risk—only approach in winter with proper training and awareness. Summer (June–September) is straightforward.
This is a self-service refuge suited to hikers who are comfortable with minimal facilities. Book by contacting the Val d'Anniviers tourism office or the local SAC section. The hut fills quickly during July and August weekends; arrive early in the day or plan a weekday visit. Expect to find a visitor book and perhaps a donation box; leave a contribution for upkeep.
