Access

Bivouac located at Col des Clochettes between Grivoletta and Grivola NE ridge. Access from Val de Cogne, Cretaz or Buthier via path No. 25, first reaching the place called Ors Dessus; shortly after, a right-hand fork leads to the Cabane du Parc (water point), a small descent takes you into the Vallon de Pousset, which provides access to Col du Pousset (3200m), with several water points. The trail leading to Punta Pousset is left on the right. From Col Pousset, descend onto the Trayo glacier, a section secured by a cable, cross the flat glacier to reach the ascent of the face below the bivouac.

Good to know

The east face below the bivouac is prone to rockfalls, recent collapses can be observed, extreme caution is therefore required on this access face to the bivouac.
