The Pizol Glacier is one of the attractions along the beautiful and well known 5-See-Wanderung (5 lake hike). To reach the glacier, turn off the 5 lake hiking trail onto the joining trail just before the Wildsee. There is no great difficulty to reach the glacier. It will take about 1/2 hour from there to reach the waypoint at the foot of the glacier. (Adding an extra hour to the duration of your hike) Remember that the last chair lift ride down from Gaffia station (end point of the hike) is at 17:00.
