Piz da Lech, Mountain summit in South Tyrol, Italy

Piz da Lech is a mountain summit in the Sella group of the Dolomites, rising to 2,913 meters (9,557 feet). The peak features steep limestone walls typical of the range and can be reached through various climbing routes including equipped paths.

The Dolomites formed during the Triassic period when the area lay beneath a prehistoric sea. Over time, geological forces lifted these rocks to create the dramatic peaks visible today.

Local mountaineers established multiple routes to reach the peak, including the Via Ferrata path that combines traditional climbing methods with metal cables for safety.

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.
