Itinerary description

Signposts of K2 trail are almost entirely missing - part of the tracks ends in the bushes, elsewhere the track has become the bed of a seasonal river. I would discourage you from taking that path to reach "Lago della Montagna Spaccata"
I had to get back repeatedly to K3 which is much better, very wide, rocky paved with very gentle slopes until when I walked it.

K2 continues afterward but the path is very steep in the bushes without any signpost. Be sure to be equipped with sticks and suitable shoes if you want to reach "Rio Torto" river and finally the lake
