We
start from the Stelvio pass in Italy, at 2758m. The initial thought is
to climb
the Geisterspitze, 3467m.
|
Ortler,
3905m in the background. (As long as it's still visible.). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reaching
the Ortlerhaus, 3028m. Geisterspitze can be seen in the background.
Time to enter the glacier. |
The
group entering the glacier. We follow the prepared ski slope, which is
concidered safe to walk, without being connected. In the background you
can see Ortlerhaus. |

The hike up the glacier is really beautiful,
with clouds above and below.
|
But
then the clouds move in, and in just a few minutes it looks like this.
We abort and turn back in hard winds, hail and zero visibility at about
3200m. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
After a stop at Refugio Livrio and a good
cup of cappuccino, we continue our descent. Here is Rötlspitze to the
north, 3026m. |
Even
lower, at 2900m, we reach the trail going up to Monte Scorluzzo, 3095m.
It's still free from clouds, so I quickly decide to climb it.

|
|
|
|
At the
summit cross, some 20 min. later. The clouds come and go now. |
Here is also a memory sign,
reminding of the first world war. At that time this area was a theatre
of war.
