The massive mountain, in Vinschgau Valley known as the Laaser Peak, offers an impressive panorama and numerous meditative places. The path runs through light larch and Swiss stone pine (Pinus cembra) stands, across flowering alpine lawns and leads in the imposing rocky zone through a plateau with Stone-men as an orientation aid, the “Steinmann Gasseloch”. If there is strong wind, organ pipes are said to sound there, hence the Martell name “Orgelspitze”. Via a pathless but well marked blocky summit, one reaches the highest point at 3305m.
Details

Start at the Stallwies inn in Val Martello. Follow path no. 5 through the forest until the timberline and continue on rocky grass slopes. The way to the edge, from where you can already see the summit of Punta di Lasa, is rather steep. Follow the markings through cairns, across slate blocks and sometimes also across small snowfields. The last part to the summit cross of Punta di Lasa takes you along the rocky summit flank.
