Description
With its 3900 meters, Piz Palü almost reaches the four-thousand-meter mark, but size is not always the deciding factor. The three-thousander located in the Bernina group convinces with its exciting architecture. The north face consists of three mighty pillars and houses four hanging glaciers. The rock pillars form the three summits of Piz Palü, with the middle one carrying the main summit.
