Bivacco Sigot, Mountain shelter in Exilles, Italy

Bivacco Sigot is a bivouac at 2,910 m in the municipality of Exilles, Susa Valley, Cottian Alps. It is built of steel clad in wood and fibreglass and stands at the start of the wide debris plain between Cima del Vallonetto, Punta Galambra and Punta Sommeiller.

The bivouac is named after Mario Sigot, a mountaineer from the CAI section of Susa who died in the winter of 1994 during a climb to the Grand'Hoche. Volunteers of that same CAI section built it, with the Province of Turin, the Comunità montana Alta Valle di Susa and the Corpo nazionale di soccorso alpino. The sources give no construction year.

The construction involved volunteers from the Susa section of the Italian Alpine Club and members of the National Alpine Rescue Corps, demonstrating local community engagement.

Access starts at Grange della Valle Exilles, about 1800 m, first on the trail to Rifugio Levi Molinari and then on the Balcone dell'alta valle di Susa path, in roughly three hours. From the bivouac the Galambra and Fourneaux passes descend toward Bardonecchia, and the Refuge d'Ambin at 2270 m is reached on a traverse.

The bivouac stands at the edge of a wide debris plain below Cima del Vallonetto, Punta Galambra and Punta Sommeiller. From the hut, the Galambra and Fourneaux passes lead down toward Bardonecchia, and the Refuge d'Ambin at 2,270 m can be reached on a traverse.
