Slataper Bivouac: deep into the Sorapiss group, via San Marco and Forcella Grande
Guiddy Difficulty Levels
Difficult Plus
Description
A bivouac at 2627 meters, nestled in the heart of the Sorapiss. It can only be reached on foot.
We set off with the Guidders from San Vito di Cadore, with the cool morning air keeping us company. The trail is an out-and-back that climbs unhurriedly through the woods, touching the Rifugio Scotter and then the Rifugio San Marco, before tackling the most beautiful and demanding stretch towards Forcella Grande. From there, the last section winds through rocks and ledges, with the Bivacco Slataper suddenly appearing, tiny against the Dolomite walls. At altitude the air becomes light and the summer heat stays behind in the valley.
The bivouac is a waypoint for full-fledged alpine routes; we stop here, where the mountain starts to get serious, to enjoy the silence and the view of the Sorapiss spires.
5 reasons to come
- a real bivouac, right in the midst of the wildest Dolomites
- two refuges along the route for a break
- the final stretch through rocks and ledges, a genuine adventure
- panoramic views of the Sorapiss walls
- a cold beer together at the end of the day

⛰ Hi there! I’m Alessandro. I’m 34 years old and live in the heart of the Dolomites, in the Cadore region. I am a certified International Mountain Leader (accredited by the Veneto Mountain Guide Association and UIMLA), a graduate in Sports Science, a mountain bike guide, and—believe it or not—a sommelier! After all, there’s nothing like a good glass of wine after a long hike. I love experiencing the mountains in every way possible: from trekking and trail running to mountain bike adventures. For me, moving through nature is pure energy, discovery, and emotion. Sharing this passion with others is my mission. Whether we are on a scenic trail or riding through the woods on two wheels, my goal is always the same: to provide authentic, active, and restorative experiences. See you on the trails… or maybe over a great glass of wine! 🍷🚵♂️🌲
