The metal structure bivouac (2647 m) named after Enrico Olivero was inaugurated in August 2018.
It is in a panoramic position, between the Longet and Bes lakes. The internal structure, with a pointed arch, is entirely made of wood. Always open, it is equipped with 6 beds, two comfortable platforms and 6 stools. There are solar panels that provide light for a couple of hours in the evening.

A very pleasant night on Monday, August 11, 2025.
We slept comfortably with 7 people. A waterfall with potable water is accessible 13 minutes from this refuge: follow the H2O trail and the blue dots to get there.

Bivouac a short distance from Col Longet on the Italian-French border, on a hilltop with a beautiful view of the Bes lakes. It has solar panels and an external toilet

from chianale, the tour of the lakes, with the olivero bivouac, nothing is easy, there is nothing complex about it, I have seen small children brought, but perhaps it would be better to wait a little longer, those I met were crying and weren't even halfway there.
This tour is done on foot only. no bike you will push 80%

Great bivouac. Extraordinary 360° views. Restrooms are even provided, albeit in a slightly rustic manner, but with the most beautiful views.
Come early. This bivouac can only accommodate 6 people. There were 9 of us so as not to leave anyone out in the cold.
A big thank you again to dear Enrico.
