A
classical view of Piz Lad, to the right in the picture, with
the
halfdrowned churchtower of Graun in the foreground.
The whole traverse is visible,
to Äußere Nockenkopf close
to the tower.
|
We
start from Reschner Alm at
2010m. The morning haze hasn't gone away yet. |
Jorma
and Maria on the way up. The trees dissapear at about 2200m.
|
|
|
 |
At
a little more than 2300m we reach a smaller cross,
marking a good
viewpoint. Reschensee is seen below. |
Lots of people going up. The peak is still
covered with
clouds, but the cloudbase is climbing as the temperature
rises. |
The
last part up to the summit cross is relatively steep, and energy
consuming.The cloudbase has risen now, and the summit is free from
clouds. Reschensee can be seen in the background. The cross isn't
placed at the high point of the mountain.

|
|
|
If you continue a little bit more you reach
the high point,
2808m. Switzerland in the background. |
A look back at the summit cross from the
high point.
Austria in the background.
|
We
continue along the traverse, down to 2650m to pass Grubenjoch, det flat
area in the picture. Behind is the second target of today, Piz
Russenna, 2802m.

|
|
The
summit cairn of Piz Russenna. All along we walk
along the border
between Italy and Switzerland. In the
background we see Switzerland,
with the river Inn
winding in the valley. |
At the
next peak, Äußere Nockenkopf. Now we look in
the other direction with
Italy and Reschensee. The lower
summit to the right.
|
A look
back to Piz Lad from Äußere Nockenkopf .
|
|
|
|
The
lower summit, with its beautiful cross will mark the end
of this hike.
Now it's "only" a question to walk down and
back to Reschner Alm.
