Piz
Umbrail in the middle, seen from Passo dello Stelvio.
The high rate of
calcium and heavy erosion gives the
mountain a very caracteristic look. To the
right is Piz
Chazfora, 3006m. Below the moutain is the starting point,
Umbrailpass.
|
The
Umbrailpass is at 2505m,
making this peak relatively accessable. |
From
2600m the summit is visible ahead.

|
You
may wonder where the flowers find their nutrition... |
Reaching the
steeper part, around 2900m
altitude. |
The
view is great. Perfect
weather with extremely clear air makes it even better. Here is Piz
Bernina, 4049m, in Switzerland.

The road from Passo dello Stelvio winding down to Bormio,
on the Italian side. |
The peak of Piz Umbrail, with the ridge
continuing along. |
The
most impressive must be König Ortler, 3905m, in Italy. Passo dello
Stelvio, 2758m, to the right in the picture.

| Ortler,
a little more zoomed
in. |
We
continue along the ridge, nice and highly recommended.
|
A few
steeper passages keeps one alert.
|
 |
|
|
| The whole ridge is quite beautiful. |
A
look down to the Swiss side, with the lake Lai da Rims
as a blue jewel. |
