Summit Tour Combination Pizol + Hochwart on the Pizol

We start the tour at the Pizolhütte. From the station, we head uphill to the right onto the hiking trail in the direction of Wildseeluggen. After a relatively flat start, past the Twärchamm climbing garden, we soon reach the zigzag ascent. Once we reach the Wildseeluggen, we are treated to a breathtaking view of the Wildsee and our two stage destinations - the Pizol summit behind the remains of the glacier of the same name and the Hochwart to the right. Here we branch off onto the less frequented hiking trail to the left along the Wildsee. We continue over the moraines of the former glacier in the direction of the Pizolsattel. For safety reasons, the ascent to this was moved from the Pizol glacier into the rock. Steel cables have been used as handrails at exposed points. Once at the saddle, we continue to the right along the ridge until we reach the Pizol summit from behind. We have reached our first goal.

To get to the Hochwart, we take the same route almost all the way back to the Wildsee. Shortly before the lake, a path branches off to the left towards Weisstannen, which we follow and soon arrive at the Lavtina saddle after a short and rocky ascent. Now follow the path on the right for the last few meters until you reach the Hochwart after about 10-15 minutes.

For the way back, we take the same route, via Lavtinasattel and past the Wildsee lake, back to Wildseeluggen and from there tackle the descent back to the Pizolhütte.
