Start from the parking lot in front of the Fabbriceria of Eita, taking the paved road that goes down to the right, then climbing back up towards Redasco. After two hairpin bends, take the turnoff to the dirt road N259 towards Cassavrolo. After about 1.5 km, enter the homonymous valley, and taking the turnoff at the small bridge over the Roasco river, you arrive at the first huts of the beautiful alpine pasture. We have almost used up all the positive elevation; continuing, take the path leading to the charming walkways over the Torbiera, then reach the Falck Refuge, an unmanaged hut but with an emergency bivouac. Continue crossing the river, and upon reaching the paved road, turn left and after 10 minutes of easy walking, arrive at Lago delle Acque Sparse, a small gem where you can relax and enjoy the tranquility that only a high mountain pond can offer. The return can be made along the same route, or by taking the variant on trail N259.2 to the right of the lake, or simply descending along the paved road (N201) back to the starting point.
