Pazolastock
Whether in summer or winter, the Pazolastock is a popular destination for all mountain enthusiasts.
The ski tour to the Pazolastock begins at the Oberalp Pass. From here, the route initially leads southwestward over gentle slopes and well-maintained forest trails. After gaining the first few meters in elevation, the landscape opens up, offering sweeping views of the surrounding peaks of the Uri Alps. The ascent involves a total elevation gain of about 700 meters; it is moderately steep and well-suited even for beginners looking for a varied but not overly challenging route.
The summit area of the Pazolastock (at 2,739 meters above sea level) rewards hikers with a magnificent panoramic view of the Uri Alps. For the descent, there are several varied options:
- The same route back to the Oberalp Pass
- Via Nurschalas Grondas to Tschamutt
- Via Pazolaälpetli, Schöni, and Nätschen to Andermatt (only when conditions are safe, as this route is steeper and more exposed)
