August 16, 2023,Val di Vizze: da Vipiteno a Pfitscher Joch

I had wanted to explore the Val di Pfitsch for many years, given that a dear friend (Gerald) was born and raised there and now his sister, a few steps from his native farm (Jörgnerhof) has created a splendid Natur Chalet (stelza.it) with an adjoining farm where it sells excellent organic meat (carnerie.com).
Departure from the Vipiteno tollbooth to cover …

On the 5th day it is a little shorter. I spend the night at 2,267m in the Pfitscherjochhaus.

The next stage with 1650m elevation gain and 35km failed due to the battery level (33%} and the rain front announced on all sides (from 5 p.m.).

17:32
It has tightened.

Tomorrow it will be dry again.

In order to be able to cross the Pfitscher Joch as early as possible, we organized a shuttle from Mayrhofen to the Schlegeis reservoir. Did everything right, although there were clouds and continuous rain …

Today the first pass was on the program - the Pfitscher Joch. The drive up was easier than expected because the trail was in good condition. There were only a few steps that we had to push. Shortly before the pass it started to rain, so we took a longer break in the Pfitscher Joch house. The descent to Sterzing …
