Monte Bìvera, Mountain summit in Province of Udine, Italy

Monte Bìvera is a 2,474 m limestone mountain of the Carnic Alps in the Province of Udine, rising between the Val Lumiei above Sauris to the north and the upper Tagliamento valley above Forni di Sopra to the south. It is a twin-peaked massif: the slightly lower Clapsavon (2,462 m) stands just to the west. Its summit opens a wide view from the Tauri chain to the Dolomites, the Veneto-Friulian plain and the upper Adriatic.

Monte Bìvera is formed of limestone, the residue of a marine environment that once covered the Carnic Alps area. The mountain stands as a twin-peaked massif: its slightly lower companion, Clapsavon at 2,462 m, lies just to the west. The summit reaches 2,474 m between the Lumiei valley and the upper Tagliamento valley.

The mountain carries three names: Monte Bìvera in Italian, Beischperkouvl in the Sauran German dialect of Sauris, and La Bivare in Friulian. Its twin summit, the slightly lower Clapsavon at 2,462 m, stands just to the west and gives the forcella between the two peaks its name, the way up to the top.

The normal route starts from Sauris via Casoni Piazza, crosses the Rio d'Aven and reaches Casera Chiansavei, then continues over pastures to the fork between Clap Savon and Monte Bìvera, a few minutes from the summit. A shorter approach drives to Casera Razzo, then about an hour on a white road to Casera Chiansavei and roughly ninety minutes to the fork, through larch woods, meadow and scree.

The mountain sits within reach of Forni di Sopra, a well-known hiking base, making it accessible to serious mountaineers without requiring lengthy approaches. This proximity to an established alpine center sets it apart from more isolated peaks in the range.
