Piz da Lech, Mountain summit in South Tyrol, Italy

Piz da Lech is a 2,911-metre summit of pale grey and tan rock in the Sella group of the Dolomites, in the Veneto region of Italy. Its upper slope is covered with loose, angular white-grey stones and rubble, and a dark metal frame structure of thin beams stands at the right edge of the summit. Beyond the rubble the rock drops away into steep grey cliff faces and ridges, with a deep green valley floor far below.

Piz da Lech, known in German as Boèseekofel, rises 2,911 metres in the Sella group, 112 metres above the surrounding terrain and 2.3 kilometres south-west of Piz Boè. The summit lies within the Veneto region, about 14 kilometres east of Ortisei. Its rock belongs to the Dolomites, built from Triassic marine sediments and later raised by tectonic forces.

The German name Boèseekofel refers to the dark Boè lake below the peak. The via ferrata on the mountain is named after Cesare Piazzetta, who fell here in 1970. Climbers still use the metal cables and ladders of this route.

A cable car from Corvara reaches Vallon station at 2,537 meters, cutting down the approach time. From that point, hikers and climbers can begin the equipped route with daylight hours to spare.

Two steel ladders at the summit connect via an exposed rock traverse, forming one of the route's most demanding sections. This technical sequence stands out as a defining feature that all climbers must navigate.
