Bivacco Minazio

Bivacco Minazio, Mountain shelter in Primiero San Martino di Castrozza, Italy.

Bivacco Minazio is a mountain shelter in Primiero San Martino di Castrozza located at 2294 meters elevation. The structure features wooden and metal construction with a dining area and two sleeping rooms equipped with bunk beds.

The bivouac is named after Carlo Minazio. On 19 July 1957 a US military aircraft struck the south face of Fradusta, the peak north of the shelter, killing eleven American airmen. A memorial plaque near the bivouac lists their names and ranks.

This shelter functions as a simple rest point for mountain travelers crossing the Pale di San Martino plateau. It represents the traditional role of alpine huts in supporting outdoor pursuits in the region.

The shelter is accessible via a multi-hour hike that starts from lower elevations and passes through mountain terrain. Visitors should be prepared for changing weather conditions and carry appropriate gear for alpine hiking.

On 19 July 1957 a United States military aircraft struck the south face of Cima Fradusta, the peak north of the bivouac, killing eleven American airmen. A plaque near the shelter lists their names and ranks, and wreckage still lies on the slope above the hut.
