Route description

Black Pyramid is recognised by dark rock that contrasts sharply with Aibga’s greener neighbouring slopes. Approaching from Cirque 2 brings that contrast close: meadow walking gives way to stone, and the upper part reaches the summit area. Choose the visit format beforehand. The resort’s ordinary nature trail ends at the upper station; further rocky ascent or an equipped route requires separate permission, preparation and supervision. A station approach should not become an improvised climb. On an agreed upper outing, examine the rock massif and return by the direction planned with the guide.

Route suitability

Кому будет комфортно
Without a car - Hard With children - No With a dog - No data By bike - No With a stroller - No Mobile signal - No data The upper rocky part goes beyond an ordinary nature-trail stroll. Arrange permission and a guide for the chosen way of proceeding. An age limit advertised for a separate attraction does not establish a children’s independent mountain outing.

Nearby

Sedoy and the Cirque 3 lakes require a separate mountain continuation and should not be added automatically after the rocky programme. The station-side nature trail offers a more limited introduction to the massif without promising the summit.

Getting there

Варианты и важные моменты Show on map
Without a car
Bus and rail approaches reach the lower resort. Operating cableways are then needed for Cirque 2. Arrange the upper-outing guide’s meeting time and place before buying tickets.
By car
The vehicle remains at the lower resort levels in Estosadok. Continue by permitted ascent and mountain walking; driving to the rocky summit is unconfirmed.
Parking
The resort identifies parking at Poliana 540 and Poliana 960. Check current terms and vehicle storage for the cableway journey and separately arranged upper programme.

Difficult sections and safety

На что обратить внимание
Elevation gainСуммарный набор высоты — 282 м.
SurfaceТип покрытия пока не определён.
Риски Upper rock requires a different assessment from the ordinary nature path. Agree the actual passage, protection and equipment with a guide; advertised via-ferrata conditions do not establish unrestricted climbing. Exclude the upper section in wind, thunderstorms, snow or closure. A national-park permit is required.

How much time to allow

Оцените свой темп
Расчётное время в пути 1 h 10 min
С запасом на остановки + 30–60 мин
Time for the route | Not established With stops | Not established Time for the full upper rocky outing is unestablished. First agree the permitted way of proceeding and return with a guide. The official nature trail’s approximately 1 h covers the station approach, rather than this complete upper outing. Cableway travel is additional.

Best time to go

Сезонность и рекомендации
The upper outing needs an operating permitted programme and suitable snow-free ground. Clear valley weather does not guarantee acceptable conditions on the rocky summit. Check cloud and wind for the upper level.

What to bring

Базовый список для комфортного похода
Mountain footwear and clothing covering the body on rock.
Wind protection, a warm layer, water and food.
A helmet and required protection system for the agreed programme; a headlamp, backup power and visitor documents.
