I've spent three or four nights in the Bouquetins. There are blankets, pots and pans, mugs, plates, utensils, a wood store and a great woodburning stove on which you can cook. We spent two days there sheltering from a raging blizzard at the end of our Haute Route attempt. It was so windy one night that a Swiss guide who was there made his clients get fully kitted up, including boots, in case the roof blew off. He then dialled up the rescue services on the emergency phone at 2.00 am to inform them we were there and asked for the weather forecast. After that he calmed down a bit. Great place.
