Description of the route
Leave the car at Valnontey, in the municipality of Cogne, then take the dirt road (itinerary no. 22) that runs alongside the Valnontey stream to its end. From here, continue along trail 22. After around 500 m, ignore trail 22C on the left, which heads to Money Bivouac and continue along the same road taking the valley floor on the bank of the stream. This leads you to a crossroad: Trail 22G continues on the right towards Leonessa bivouac, while trail 22E on the left takes you to Martinotti bivouac; ignore trails 22D on the left as you go up and 22F on the right.
