This segment may be dangerous
Parts of this Highlight comprise highly technical, difficult, or hazardous terrain. Specialist equipment and prior experience may be required.
Stone to tackle with stiff shoes and with a nice grip, there are no large differences in height, but given the ice deposits and damp surfaces there is a risk of slipping.
Close the sticks and tie them to the backpack to avoid getting in the way.

Lake Pirola is a picturesque artificial lake accessible from the Gerli-Porro Refuge along a trail that crosses scree slopes and stretches where the trail merges with the rocks (markings are present but not always visible; be careful).
The lake is surrounded by Alpine scenery and can be skirted along a scenic trail.
