To the right, the trail leads to the "SENTIERO ALPINISTICO TRE AMICI," which, according to bergsteigen.com, is supposed to be more difficult. But I wasn't wearing a helmet, it had rained the night before, and there are supposed to be steep grassy slopes, and I could still feel the effects of the three Campari Spritzers from the night before. So I continued straight ahead. From here, it's basically just steep walking terrain.
