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. 

From Passo Lavazè, for about 350 meters, follow the road that leads to Passo Oclini. On the left there is a series of houses. The last one, on the façade, has a large eagle drawn; from there the path to Baita Val Lubie begins. You set off on a beautiful forest road that goes slightly uphill, then descends to the hut (the last 500 meters downhill are steeper). The damage caused by the Vaia storm (October 2018) is clearly visible along the route.

Return back along 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.
