    Hiking

    Bivouac area with pitches surrounded by stones and flat. Very convenient to spend the night in this rocky area.

    The bivouac area is generally quite flat, which is a real plus at this altitude. However, the available spots vary greatly: some are perfect, while others are really tiny.

    It's a fairly popular spot, so here's a tip: try to pitch your tent early in the evening. It's the best way to hope for a good, level spot for a truly good night's sleep before continuing your trek!
