Cross it and head for a farm road which winds around several times then leads to the Porchère Alp (2102 m). Continue along the route that starts at the dwellings, and, after intersecting the same road several times, you will come to Tsa di Porchère (2290 m). The trail that turns off from the alp leads to the bivouac.

The bivouac was built in 1952 to the memory of Nino Regondi, a young mountaineer died in a road accident. In 1995, the old bivouac was replaced by a more comfortable wooden structure and was dedicated to Nino Regondi and Pietro Gavazzi, president of the Italian Alpine Club of Desio.
