Pizol

The Pizol is a mountain of the Glarus Alps in Eastern Switzerland, overlooking Wangs in the canton of St. Gallen. At 2,844 metres (9,331 ft) above sea level, it is the highest summit of the chain separating the valleys of the Seez and the Tamina rivers, and the highest mountain lying entirely within

the canton of St. Gallen. Pizol Hut lies at 2,227 metres (7,306 ft). Pizol is also a ski resort. On 22 September 2019, a 'funeral' and mourning ceremony was held for the Pizol glacier which had disappeared due to rising temperatures. A similar ceremony had been held in August when the Okjökull glacier in Iceland disappeared.
