Regondi bivouac, from Glassier

Description

From Vaud, we descended to Ollomont and from the ski lift we climbed up to Col Cornet, leaving the Alpe Berrio damon to the right and the path to the Col Breuson, which was snowless so far. Over the col a lot of snow, we put on our snowshoes and tried to follow the summer route, when possible, almost always upstream of it. We thus reached an altitude of 2465 (stick) near the Incliusa lake, where the path coming from the Acqua Bianca plain arrives, before the last few small roads leading to the bivouac. Once at the bivouac (door closed by the snow), take a half-hour break, then return to the stick at altitude 2465 and descend to the Acqua Bianca, looking for the less steep parts of the slope where the summer path passes (if you wish, you can return to the Cornet pass and from there descend to the Acqua Bianca on gentler slopes). On the level, we follow the stream then reach the ruins of Places and follow the marked path, which is finally visible, to reach the Gaula, which is an uncomfortable traverse on avalanche snow. After the Gaula, the snowshoes hold on almost to the Madonna, then the path (ice jumps) avoiding Glassier takes us back to Vaud. Fauna sightings: Capra ibex, Marmota marmota
