About
Bivacco Luca Reboulaz sits at 2,575m in the Monte Rosa massif, accessed from the Macugnaga valley on the Italian side of the Alps. The approach takes 3–4 hours from Staffa or Pedum, gaining 900m through alpine meadows and rocky terrain. The hut serves as a base for traverses of Monte Rosa's eastern peaks and for climbs on Gran Paradiso and adjacent 4,000m summits. Snow and ice climbing are standard here in season.
The bivacco has 24 beds in shared dormitories. Meals are served but provisions are limited—confirm availability when booking, as the hut operates on a simple model. Water comes from snowmelt and mountain streams. The hut is typically open July through September, though exact dates depend on snow conditions and staffing. Winter access is possible for experienced mountaineers only.
Book at least 3–4 weeks ahead for July and August weekends. Contact the hut directly by email or phone to confirm current opening dates, meal availability, and any access restrictions. Arrive early in the day if you're climbing next morning—the hut is popular with groups heading to Monte Rosa. Bring a sleeping bag and headtorch even if you've booked ahead.
