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. |

Vägen från Passo dello Stelvio slingrar sig
ner mot Bormio, på den italienska
sidan. |
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. |
