August 28 - Elfer and Zwolfer Nieder

 

This morning we took the bus just a couple of stops to the Elferbahn which brought us to an elevation of 1793m.  From there we had wonderful views of the Stubai Valley, Neustift, and paragliders.


 

 
We went up a steep switch-back trail

 
to the Elferhutte.

 
After a brief rest,

 
we continued on a broad well-graded trail appropriately called the Panorama Weg.

 
Elferspitz to our right.

 
The Pinnis Valley to our left.

 
We came upon a trail construction crew.

 
We zigzagged up toward the saddle.

 
A marmot dashed by.

 
The Zwolfer Nieder (low point) is the saddle between Zwolfer and Elfer Spitze.
