Day 3 - Rifugio Lavarella to Rifugio Lagazuoi<br />

C) Turn off of trail # 11 onto trail 20b<br />

and “1” to your left headed to <strong>the</strong><br />

Forcella di Lago (2486 m).<br />

Bailout Option see Opt-1<br />

D) From Forcella di Lago a short but<br />

steep descent leads to <strong>the</strong><br />

Lagazuoi Lake (2182 m). Recently<br />

rebuilt trail but still rock fall hazard<br />

– don’t l<strong>in</strong>ger, especially when<br />

walk<strong>in</strong>g underneath <strong>the</strong> rock face<br />

just before reach<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> Lagazuoi<br />

Lake (2182).<br />

This is ano<strong>the</strong>r example of a very<br />

well made trail, and it's a good<br />

th<strong>in</strong>g because this is one of <strong>the</strong><br />

steepest trail decents I have ever<br />

seen. There were a jillion<br />

switchbacks. The trail on <strong>the</strong> map<br />

<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> area of Lagazuoi Lake<br />

doesn't quite match what we found<br />

when we got <strong>the</strong>re, but everyth<strong>in</strong>g<br />

was very well marked.<br />

The Lake makes for a beautiful<br />

pick-nick spot.<br />

We opted to have lunch on a bluff<br />

above <strong>the</strong> lake near some old<br />

stone structures, sav<strong>in</strong>g a little bit<br />

of decent / re-ascent.<br />
