There are five mountain lakes (Pizolseen) on Pizol: Wangsersee at Pizolhütte, Wildsee, Schottensee, Schwarzsee (2368 m) and Baschalvasee (2174 m).^[3] A small cirque glacier,^[4] the Pizolgletscher, had been located above 2,600 metres on the northern side of the mountain.

Pizol Hut lies at 2,227 metres (7,306 ft).^[5]

On 22 September 2019, a 'funeral' and mourning ceremony was held for the Pizol glacier which had disappeared due to rising temperatures.^{[6] [7]} A similar ceremony had been held in August when the Okjökull glacier in Iceland disappeared.^[8]
