Ascent to the Pizol summit (2,844 m)

Highlight (Segment) • Summit

From pizolsattel to the summit there are only 50 vertical meters. Unnecessary ballast and sticks either pack together or deposit. It goes the last few meters completely on a wire rope system upwards. 1-2 exposed but otherwise hardly exposed.

As expected, there were unfortunately a lot of people, the blue and white section was better, but there was also a well-trodden path with lots of loose rubble, helmet recommended! Turned around just before the saddle because it was getting quite difficult and I didn't want to carry the dog around the whole time 😉

Hello hiking friends. Today I only had enough time for a short hike. I was a bit short on time. My goal was the summit of the Pizol.

When Thomas brought up the idea of climbing Pizol yesterday, it was immediately clear to me: I'm in 😄🤩😍🫶

We weren't completely alone, but the crowds were surprisingly limited 🙏. The small summit plateau was too crowded for us, so we turned around and followed the ridge path, which was now almost deserted, as most people preferred the winter descent, …
