A bivouac hut (known as the "Bivouac Paul Chevalier alle Périades") was installed near Pointe de Sisyphe in 1928 at a height of 3,455 metres (11,335ft). It eventually became the property of the French Alpine Club, and was renovated in 1996. The site collapsed in 2019 during the summer heatwave which caused previously frozen ground to become unstable. It was replaced in 2020, following a public fund-raising campaign, and can accommodate three or four people.:[2]
