The bivouac was realized in 2006 by restoring part of the Alpe Chlekch. It is dedicated to Aldo Cravetto (1938-1984), graduated in chemistry and manager of the family steel enterprise, mountain lover and passionate to the Lys Valley.
Access:
By the primary school square in Issime, turn left towards the hamlet of Cugna - Künju where a well-paved mule track starts, and head up to the left of the waterfall.
After a small votive chapel, path No. 2 takes you into the valley.
As you continue into the narrow valley, you approach the stream and cross it. The trail is now steeper and, surrounded by bushes, leads to Alp Stolen (about 1750m) then Alp Mühnu (Munu) (1950m) where, on the left, the trail GSW (Grande Sentiero Walser) towards the San Grato valley starts.
Carry on across pastures in the direction of a characteristic stone cross placed under the Pianhi mountain pasture. Continue along the same itinerary (No.2) up to Alp Merhui (2230m).
