Capanna Bivacco Monte Magnodeno

Capanna Bivacco Monte Magnodeno — also presented on its own site as "Bivacco ANA" — is a mountain hut and bivouac on Monte Magnodeno at 1,241 metres above sea level, in the hills above Lecco in Lombardy, Italy. It is described by Wikidata simply as a "mountain hut of Lecco". The refuge sits on a natural terrace overlooking the Lecco branch of Lake Como, and its official website promotes the sweeping views over the city of Lecco and its waters, the Grigne, the Resegone, the Briantei lakes and the Adda river. The hut is cared for by the Alpini of Maggianico, the local section of the Associazione Nazionale Alpini (ANA), whose members "custodiscono questa vetta con passione e dedizione" — guard this summit with passion and dedication. The ANA connection is reflected in the name "Bivacco ANA" and in the hut's own anthem, described as the voice of the Maggianico Alpini. The refuge is open every Wednesday and Sunday, and it also hosts events; the site advertises a forthcoming "Assalto al Magnodeno" on 14 June 2026. Access is on foot. The official site gives a route from the Piazzale Funivia Piani d'Erna: about two hours, 611 metres of ascent, difficulty EE (experienced hikers). From the cable-car square, hikers take the path to the right, follow a stretch of asphalt road, then a mule track to the junction for Campo dei Boi, and from there path 25A through a beech and birch wood, with a chain assisting the final metres. The summit opens panoramic views over the Grigne, the Resegone, Lake Lecco, the Briantei lakes and the Adda. The site also notes that Monte Magnodeno can be reached from several sides, each with its own character, and points to a full route sheet on EccoLecco. As a commercial entity, the Capanna Bivacco Monte Magnodeno is best understood as a small hospitality and mountain-refuge operation rather than a conventional company: it offers shelter, food and drink to hikers, and it maintains a public web presence with opening hours, contact phone numbers (MECO 389 970 7308; LUIGI 340 709 7666) and an email address (anamagnodeno@gmail.com). Its identity is bound up with the landscape and with the Alpini tradition of the Lecco area, and its website quotes Alessandro Manzoni's I Promessi Sposi — "Quel ramo del lago di Como, che volge a mezzogiorno..." — a literary evocation of the very branch of Lake Como the hut overlooks.
