Piz Palü
Traverse
1 ½ days tour
Piz Palü (3901m) is not a 4000m peak, but is one of the most beautiful and impressive destinations of the Eastern Alps. The short journey and the access to Diavolezza by cable car mean that the traverse is not too demanding.
The best things come in threes. There are the East summit, Main summit and Western summit (Piz Spinas). All 3 of the majestic rock pillars are traversed.
1st day
In the afternoon we meet at the valley station of the Diavolezza cable car. Equipment check and cable car to the Diavolezza hut. We discuss the tour, as from here the whole route can be seen, and we prepare for the following day.
2nd day
An early start takes us through the crevasse labyrinth of the northeast flank and over the steep east ridge to the East summit. Over the Main summit and Piz Spinas, we climb over the ridge to the Bellavista terrace and continue on down the Fortezzagrat.
