Five-lakes hike
The five-lakes hikeTarget not accessible on the Pizol mountain is one of Switzerland’s most beautiful panorama hikes. Passing crystal-clear mountain lakes, the mountain trail takes you through the unmistakable alpine landscape. The hike starts at Wangersee near the Pizolhütte mountain station at 2,227 m above sea level and takes around 4 to 5 hours. The climb to the Wildsee gap, which takes about one hour, opens up the panorama of the Eastern Swiss, Graubünden and Austrian Alps until later, beyond the Wildsee gap (2,493 m), the Wildsee comes into view.
