Pizol - a peak and five lakes

From mountain train to mountain train, from lake to lake. Pizol means high peak in Romansh but these days there is luckily a modern aerial cable car that whisks visitors up to the 2227-meter summit. It covers an altitude difference of 1720 meters between Wangs and the Pizol Hut.

Here is the starting point for this varied hike. Each lake has a different color: the small Lake Wangen is a deep blue-green, the Wildsee gets its water from the Pizol Glacier and is therefore a milky grey-white, Lake Schlotten is milky blue, and the Schwarzsee is nearly black. Then it is on to Baseggla Ridge, where the grey Lake Baschalva is located by landscape dotted with rocky debris. At last one reaches Gaffia, from where one takes the cable-car.
