Bivacco Minazio

Bivacco Minazio stands at 2294 meters elevation, featuring a wooden and metal structure divided into a dining area and two sleeping rooms with bunk beds.

On July 19, 1957, a United States military aircraft crashed near the bivouac site, resulting in the deaths of eleven aviators.

The bivouac maintains the traditional alpine shelter concept with twelve sleeping spaces, serving mountaineers exploring the Pale di San Martino plateau.

Access to the shelter requires a 2.5-hour hike from Malga Canali at 1302 meters, following the CAI trail 711 through mountain terrain.

Aircraft wreckage remains visible in the area above the bivouac, where a memorial plaque displays the names and ranks of the military personnel.
