Remember, snowpack stability is subject to sudden and unforeseeable changes and shifts. Always check the local avalanche before departure and make sure you gather all possible information concerning current conditions from the local Mountain Guides. GPS tracks are merely indicative of the more standard routes but must not be followed blindly without first checking current slope and terrain conditions. Correct orientation may be a problem at times along the higher stretches of this route due to fog or low cloud cover.

WAY UP From Malga Vallazza (1935 m) walk up going north-west along the stream Vallazza, where you will find the summer trail nr 631 which leads to a plain at about 2150 m of altitude. Here you will find a sign pointing to Juribrutto lake: climb up going west and get to a small hill (2286 m), then keep walking south-west and on a slight descent you will reach the lake (2206 m)

WAY DOWN On the same itinerary.

Warm and waterproof winter clothes. Spare shirt, gloves, wool cap, sunglasses, sunscreen, water, snacks, hiking shoes and hiking poles. 

It’s COMPULSORY to carry with you an avalanche rescue kit consisting of avalanche transceiver, probe and shovel.
