A fabulous project in a breathtaking landscape

Completed in September 2020, the new "Fratelli Fantoni" bivouac has since been boasting with the characteristic landscape of the UNESCO Natural Heritage of the Dolomites. In the north of the mountain group lies the Marmarole, which with its wild, impassable terrain attracts experienced hikers and climbers. This was also a challenge of planning the bivouac. First of all, a detailed analysis and documentation of the area had to be done in order to find a suitable place for the small shelter. The bivouac also had to blend visually into the landscape.

Thus, the original, ruined Fanton bivouac, which was located about a thousand meters higher in the sixties, was redesigned. The architects of the DEMOGO studio opted for titanium zinc cladding from RHEINZINK. This gives the bivouac a stylish touch, while guaranteeing long-lasting safety. In the prePATINA blue-grey finish, it harmonizes perfectly with the surrounding landscape. Designed as a binocular, the bivouac gives a view of the breathtaking landscape of the Dolomites and withstands the alpine climate.
