In Chamonix area:
-Near the Index telepherique. Luxury bivvy with five minute stroll to plenty of spots. Being close to lift you can take many bivvy luxuries -gets sun early and awesome views. Lots of routes (great warm up area )
- A few minutes from the Midi halfway telepherique. Luxury as above. Lovely evening sun. Toilets and bar nearby
- About half an hour downhill close to the Cosmiques hut. Lots of sites and loads of routes to do from there. Can use hut for toilets and lovely soups. Great views. Snowholes often in area if you like.
- About 2 hours of traversing and uphill walk leads to great bivvy sites around Albert Premier Hut.
- Around Torino hut area, assuming building works have finished!
- Five minutes walk down from the Petite Aiguille Vert. Gets busy in the morning!
All these sites have awesome views, are easy to get to, provide access to loads of routes, are fairly comfortable and most are near 'facilities'. You can find private quiet spots
