The bivouac was built in 1982 by Gianni Comino’s friends to commemorate his inspiring figure and his great talent. He was born in Fiammenga di Vicoforte (CN) and he was 24 years old when he became a mountain guide. He made many ascents with his friend Giancarlo Grassi. Comino died on 28th February 1980 while attempting the first ascension of the serac on the right side of Poire, on the Brenva mountain side, Mont Blanc.

Access:
From the car park at Arnouvaz, cross the river and follow the unsurfaced road that leads to the bottom of the Val Ferret. After about 100m leave the road and head to the left following the track leading to the Dora di Ferret that can be crossed on a bridge a little further upstream.
On the bank opposite, the path continues through large rocks and is only marked by cairns and red arrows. Once you find yourself in a small clearing, head left and you will reach the left bank moraine of the Triolet Valley. Carry on up the edge of the moraine until you come to the start of a valley, often covered in snow.
Turn left here and head up along the rocky crag where you will come up against a few stretches on rocks. The path continues on between bushes coming back onto rocks a little way ahead on the South-East slope of Monte Greuvetta.
Turn left once again and you will find yourself at the bivouac.

Equipment: blankets, melting water.
