Bivacco Pozzolo

Bivacco Pozzolo sits at 2,418m in the Valais Alps, east of Saas-Fee. Reach it from Saas-Fee via the Saas Valley in 4–5 hours of steady hiking. The route climbs through alpine meadows then steeper terrain to the hut's position on a high plateau. This is working hut territory, not a resort approach. Weather and snow cover dictate access conditions even in summer.
The bivouac operates as a simple mountain shelter with 15 beds in a single dormitory. Expect basic facilities: cold water, no shower, and a wood stove for warmth. Meals are not guaranteed—bring your own food and cooking fuel or confirm meal availability when you book. The hut is open roughly June through September, depending on snow melt and early season conditions. It functions as a staging point for mountaineering objectives in the region, particularly for climbs in the Tällisee area.
Book directly by phone well ahead. July and August fill quickly for weekend dates. This is an unguarded shelter with no resident warden, so carry a headtorch, map, and be comfortable with self-sufficiency. Confirm current conditions and access before heading out—weather can cut off the hut fast at this elevation.
