Introduction
A Alpine refuge (or Mountain retreat) is a building located in mountainous areas, usually far from inhabited centers, intended to accommodate mountaineers and hikers who frequent the mountains. It usually has basic hotel services: bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms and dining rooms for food and lodging. The refuge is generally owned by the "Italian Alpine Club"and some of the"National Alpine Association ".
With the term bivouac on the other hand we mean an alpine refuge of reduced dimensions and functionality, almost exclusively for overnight stays or for protection from bad weather with at most other basic services of food and telecommunication.
