The nearby Capanna Luigi Amedeo di Savoia, built in 1905 by the CAI section of Turin, has been transformed into a museum and moved first to the village of Valtournenche and then, in September 2009, in front of the Italian Matterhorn Guide Company office. This bivouac was an alternative shelter to the Carrel refuge, and was heavily damaged in the summer of 2003 following a large landslide (the same that caused the fall of the so-called Cheminée). The platform where the bivouac was located is now used as a landing point for the helicopter.
