    Hiking

    The Caravero bivouac is located at the bottom of the Corsaglia valley, north-east of Mount Mongioie (2630 m) and north-west of Pizzo d'Ormea (2476 m).
    Its strategic position makes it a unique place in this area.

    Hiking

    The Cavarero Bivouac was recently renovated by the CAI of Mondovì and represents a strategic place to touch a lot of the surrounding peaks: the last of the Alps, before the sea.
    It has a capacity of 12 seats
    bed and has access to a source of water. Energy is supplied by a small solar panel and in case of emergency, there is also a device capable of alerting emergency services.
