Plaun la Greina - a rewarding classic. A two day hike from Vrin to Campo Blenio
November 11th 1986 was a good day for the Greina high plateau. The project to build a dam and flood this unique high plateau was abandoned due to “economic reasons”. Well, it wasn’t just “economic reasons”, the protesting Swiss, nature loving population (including me) sure helped too to save this...

Adventurous Alpstein – or how I had to give up on Gamschopf
The tours recently published on hikr about Gamschopf inspired me to give it a try as well. Unlike [U Delta] or [U Alpin_Rise] I don’t feel comfortable to climb a III up and down without any safeguards so I decided to approach Gamschopf from the Lauchwissattel via N ridge. Both [U Delta] and [U Alpin_Rise] said in their...

Leistchamm Trilogy, Nägeliberg and Schäären
I’ve been on all three Leistchamm before but never on all of them on the same day. For this day it was my main goal and then afterwards I wanted to decide what to do depending on the weather and mood. As so often before I started my hike in Arvenbüel going up to (Hinter- or Amdener-) Leistchamm on the marked route...

Top of Solothurn and a few other Jura summits
The weather forecast for the Alps as well as eastern and southern Switzerland wasn’t very good at least for the morning. Therefore, I decided to go west. Checking on [http://hikr.org hikr] I found that I could combine the top of Solothurn, Hasenmatt with some other summits in the area and at the end give the north side of...

Schijen, the one which is in GL, SZ and UR
There aren’t very many mountains in Switzerland where you can walk around the summit and at the same time visit 3 different cantons. The [http://www.hikr.org/dir/Schijen_4662/ Schijen] is one of them. At P.2610 the 3 cantons Glarus, Schwyz and Uri join up. The path up there isn’t very easy no matter how you go up there...

Chammhalde - Öhrli – Hüenerberg – Girenspitz – Säntis
Ever since I bought the SAC guide “Säntis – Churfirsten” I wanted to climb the Öhrli. Those of you who own this book probably know why. On the cover of the guide there is a beautiful picture of the Öhrli which really invites you to go up there: But how should I go up to the Öhrli? About a...

Why 360?


As most of you probably noticed I am a big fan of 360 panoramas - that's of course why I chose 360 as my hikr username.
I create these panoramas by taking approximately 15-20 pictures (orientation portrait) all the way around in a circle. Sometimes I use a tripod but often I don't. In order to stitch the single images to one picture, I use the software The Panorama Factory. It also offers the option to create quicktime virtual realities (QTVR), where you can zoom in and out and interactively turn around. However, I usually use Pano2QTVR to create QTVR represantations of the jpg images.

In order to view these panoramas you need the quicktime plugin from apple:
Get the QuickTime plugin.

And here is the collection of my 360 Quicktime Virtual Realities
