Furgler 3004m (16/7 2010)







Furgler seen from the cableway station Lazid, 2346m. The cableway starts from
the village Serfaus, south of Landeck in Tyrolia.
Maria on the way up. We choose to climb the path from southwest.





The path rises steeper towards the lake Tieftalsee. Pause on a beautiful spot by Tieftalsee, just below 2800m.






The path goes around the lake, before climbing towards the summit. This part is
relatively steep, but it's possible to walk normally almost all the way.
The views from Furgler are magnificent. Here is a look to the north, towards Lechtaler alpen.





The summit cross on Furgler, 3004m. Jorma writes in the summit book.





The descent to the northeast is steeper, and demands some scambling. But it's a very nice path to walk. A bit further down there is a shorter steep passage, secured with a rope.






After a while we are down to the saddlepoint Furglerjoch, at 2748m. From here
and down te path is easy.

At the second lake of today, Furglersee. Ötztaler alpen in the background.






The first nice meeting of today. A small marmot peekes at us, wondering when
we will leave so he can be left alone.
The second nice meeting of today, this time with an Alpine Apollo. A very beautiful (and protected) butterfly.
