Bivouac kept very well and always open. Inside, 9 beds with mattresses, pillows, blankets, pots and wood stove. Remember to bring some wood to run the stove.

The Bivacco Tzan, perched at 2,482m on the picturesque Lago Tzan in Valtournenche, is a small refuge that is always open and can accommodate up to nine hikers with a wood stove, blankets, mattresses and dishes.

The path that climbs from Torgnon offers wide and uncontaminated landscapes, passing through mountain pastures, ruins and alpine meadows, until it reveals a high-altitude corner where the silence is broken only by the wind and the waters of the lake. The bivouac is a perfect mountain refuge: rustic, essential and intimate, it offers refreshment and warmth, making the experience of an overnight stay at high altitude a unique memory.

Out there, the panorama ranges from the surrounding peaks to the Matterhorn, offering a fairytale sunrise or sunset.

A bivouac that is not very easy to reach, obviously this varies according to the path you decide to follow, but all in all the beauty of the landscape far repays the effort made to reach it, from the bivouac you can also observe Lake Tzan which is located 5 minutes from there, at the bivouac we can find everything we need in case we want to have a nice restful sleep at high altitude. We can also find a space to tie up the bicycle and a large table and large benches outside, to enjoy a sandwich with the thrill of the silence of the wind, in short, the ideal place for those who love tranquility and for those who want to escape from the frenzy of the routine of daily life, from my experience I highly recommend it.
