Planned program

Ascent of Piz Palü, 3900 m, via the normal route from Diavolezza.

Day 1: Meeting point at 6.00 pm at the reception of the Diavolezza mountain lodge, 2973 m. Dinner together in a stylish ambience and discussion of the tour.

Day 2: We leave the mountain lodge in the dark and follow the path around Piz Trovat almost to Fuorcla d'Arlas, where we enter the Pers Glacier. Over the initially flat, then increasingly steep Vadret Pers, we gain altitude and overcome the so-called Persbrüche at around 3100 meters above sea level. This is followed by a steep slope that leads us to the saddle below the east ridge. Finally, we climb over the narrow firn ridge directly to the east summit, 3882 m, and further over the exposed ridge to the main summit, 3899 meters above sea level. What a view! The descent takes us back to the east summit and on via the east ridge and the Pers Glacier to Diavolezza, where we can toast our tour with a final drink!

Ascent time approx. 4 hours, total walking time approx. 7 to 8 hours.
