Access

The situation has completely changed with the retreat of the Belvédère glacier. It is no longer possible to safely cross the glacier near [->2594]. To reach the Damiano Marinelli bivouac hut (Capanna) from Macugnaga, follow the signs that lead directly to the right bank of the glacier, without having to cross it.

Good to know

Single-level masonry construction. -runoff water or snow -mattresses + blankets -table, stools -adequate insulation but high humidity (it faces northeast and is often in the shade), which affects mattresses and blankets...if the weather is fine, warm, and early, please take the blankets out to dry! -dishes + one gas stove It is rare for people to go up just "to see" (it happens...), most guests heading for the high routes of Monte Rosa (high exposure to objective hazards).
