    Mountaineering

    To the Pizol summit at 2844 m above sea level. M. has been running a new alpine route since 2012. For safety reasons, the Pizol glacier relocated it to the rocks and marked it in blue and white. Steel cables were also attached as a handrail at places exposed to rockfalls.

    On the new, attractive route, the Pizol summit with its fascinating all-round view can be climbed without crossing the glacier. The glacier has lost mass and will be completely gone by 2030. The route past the glacier is still quite steep and sometimes exposed.

    Mountaineering

    As the glacier melts, a new path has been laid on the Pizol over the eastern flank. Contains few secured climbing passages. Many take the variant over the glacier for the descent.
