The Bivacco on the top of the Bosco was dedicated to the Cesana mountain guide Mario Perona who died, along with 5 other people, in the crash of a heli-skiing helicopter in 2003.

The panoramic view is worth the climb, which is very long and challenging, with a very steep final stretch.

Beautiful modern bivouac with 6 beds. The climb at the end is very steep and tiring, but it is worth climbing up here. It is located just below the Dormillouse peak. During my visit in August 2024 I did not see any mattresses, so it is advisable to bring a sleeping bag, and there is no water, not even a small stream nearby, so rooms already stocked with drinks if you want to stay a long time.

https://youtu.be/yXwSCuy65x8 I only found one restaurant there, after half an hour the waiter had walked past me 20 times, so I have no idea if it tasted good. The climb to Malrif starts very steeply, but only about 30m, then a flatter valley, but hardly rideable because it's blocked, the last 300m you have to push.

A classic MTB ride, the descent towards Thures ends in an instant.
