About
Bivacco Emiliano Lanti stands at 2115m in the Valais Alps near Macugnaga, on the Italian side of the Monte Rosa massif. Reach it from Macugnaga village by hiking up the Anzasca Valley trail. The approach takes roughly 3.5 hours on foot. The bivacco sits well-positioned for access to Monte Rosa's eastern approaches and surrounding peaks.
This is a small shelter with 13 beds managed by CAI Macugnaga. It functions as a basic mountain bivouac rather than a staffed hut—expect no meals, no running water, and minimal services. Bring a sleeping bag, torch, and a stove if you plan to cook. The hut offers protection from weather and a platform for acclimatisation before higher objectives. Winter access is unpredictable; the hut is practical mainly from June through September.
Contact CAI Sezione di Macugnaga directly to confirm current conditions and availability. Register your intended stay in advance. The bivacco gets busy during July and August when climbers queue for Monte Rosa ascents. Arrive with full self-sufficiency—there is no keeper on-site and no guarantee of resupply. Bring sufficient water, food, and fuel. Check current access conditions before departing, as snow and rockfall can block the approach into late June.
