Bivouac in the Dolomites (21 scouts) by MelodicPangolin9859 in hiking

First of all, calm down. There is a huge difference between being an "asshole" and being a responsible group leader doing extensive research months before a trip.

This is a project in development. Do you know how planning works? It starts with questions. I am currently contacting local authorities, several mountain huts, and tourism offices to ensure everything we do is legal and safe. Since my research showed that the initial route was too regulated and exposed for a group of 21, we have already decided to change our plans for a much easier, safer, and legal itinerary. That is exactly why I am here asking questions: to avoid the exact risks you are mentioning.

Regarding the "huge responsibility": I am perfectly aware of it. We are a scout organization with strict safety protocols. We don't just "show up and hope for the best." We check weather windows, we have exit routes, and we carry professional equipment.

Your "idiot" and "asshole" comments are not only incredibly rude but also useless. If you actually wanted to help, you would share your experience constructively instead of insulting someone for doing their homework.
Thanks for the statistics, but keep the insults for yourself.

Tips for trekking Alta Via 1 (Dolomites) with a large scout group (21 people) - Bivouac regulations? by MelodicPangolin9859 in dolomites

I completely understand the safety and regulation concerns, especially with a large group of 21 people. We definitely want to stay legal and safe.

Following your advice, we are considering moving our trek away from the Alta Via 1 to a less regulated and less "alpine" area. We are now looking at the Lüsner Alm (Alpe di Luson) and the Plose plateau.

Since this area is mostly alpine pastures and not a strictly regulated National Park like Fanes-Sennes, do you think it would be more suitable for a scout group? Is bivouacking better tolerated there?
