A small bivouac located near the Forca Pass. The interior is charming, and there's some water and food available for real emergencies. Definitely a local gem.

The bivouac is always open, well-maintained, and stocked with emergency supplies. Excellent shelter in case of rain. Treat with respect, as with all bivouacs!

This small building is open in the summer and serves as a useful shelter in bad weather. It is located just above the Alben refuge, near the Forca Pass.

The refuge is one of my favorites, the food is excellent and at the right price, the staff is kind and welcoming, the view is beautiful and the route does not present particular difficulties even in the winter period.

Welcoming refuge managed by the "No Profit" association of Mato Grosso, which donates the proceeds of the management to a high altitude hospital (3,500m) in Peru and to other philanthropic/charitable initiatives. It offers an excellent refreshment service, served with great friendliness and familiarity, with the opportunity to choose between various courses. It is equipped with several dozen beds, a kitchen and a large dining room, as well as various outdoor tables, usable in favorable weather. For those who can afford it, a voluntary contribution for the aforementioned philanthropic purposes will certainly be appreciated and accepted by the volunteer and free staff who manage the refuge.

The refuge is open all year round. The cuisine is excellent and the pizzoccheri are worth trying. There is the possibility of staying overnight. To reach the refuge in winter it is recommended to equip yourself with snowshoes or crampons.
