Mountain refuge Bivouac Fisso "Money"

The high sector of Cogne quickly enters the high mountain environment: wide terrain, glacial relief and a sense of isolation of the environment of the Grand Paradiso National Park . At almost 2,900 meters, the landscape no longer responds to a smaller excursion, but to a day that requires regular rhythm, time change and a certain release on alpine terrain. In this area of the Aosta Valley, above the routes that go back to the valley from Lillaz and Valmianaz, the passage to hills and cords links with known routes of journey, especially the High Via 2 which happens relatively close in several stages. Local connections to other mountain vivacs and trails also appear, something useful for anyone who proposes a linear route or a long day with alternatives.

Bivouac Fisso "Money" , in the term of Cogne and at 2872 m, it fits mainly as support to plan with caution a ascension or a journey in this sector of the massif. The nearby presence of summits such as Gran Serra, Herbetet or Punta di Cresole confirms the alpine character of the environment, although it is appropriate to understand it more as a geographical reference than as automatic access to cimas. There are no close data to provide water in the vicinity: the registered sources are several kilometres away, so water autonomy must be resolved before reaching height. No internal conditions or equipment are detailed here, so the decision to use this free shelter should be made with margin, sufficient material and refined weather forecast, especially if it is raised as a point of passage on a long high mountain day.
