Da ben dodici anni non salivo più sulla cima del Monte Tamaro, oggi l’ho raggiunto avvalendomi della cabinovia fino all’Alpe Foppa (1527 m), della mtb fino alla Bocchetta del Motto Rotondo (1842 m) e infine a piedi fino alla croce di vetta. Il toponimo “Tamaro” ha il significato di “recinto a stanghe, stecconata...

Fantastica escursione nella magnifica Valle di Blenio, che anche oggi non mi ha deluso. Inizio dell’escursione: ore 7.40 Fine dell’escursione: ore 15.45 Pressione atmosferica, ore 9.00: 1023 hPa Temperatura alla partenza: 12°C Isoterma di 0°C, ore 9.00: 3700 m Temperatura al rientro: 22,5°C...

Cassonsgrat/Fil de Cassons is the highest area of Crap da Flem aka Flimserstein. The aerial cablecar to Cassons stopped operating a few years back, so now you either have to hike from Naraus or Bargis to get up there. I started off with the mountain bike around 10:15 AM in Flims, heading up towards Fidaz and then Bargis. At the...

For a long time I had planned to do a bike & hike from Laax to Bündner Vorab and Glarner Vorab, but due to other projects, it did not happen until today. When I last week saw photos from a friend's bike tour in the area, it again reminded me of my dormant plan. I started off around 7:30 AM from Laax. At the start, the...

Piz Forcellina (2938 m) is a mountain peak close to the Septimer pass. It is probably not visited very often, especially when compared to the neighboring peak Piz Turba. Start of the hike shortly after 9:00 in Bivio. I brought my mountain bike along. Going uphill, I partially biked, and partially walked the bike. The road to...

Gita Bike & Hike sul versante orografico sinistro della Valle Calanca, nel comune di Calanca, costituito nel 2015 grazie alla fusione di Arvigo, Braggio, Cauco e Selma. Malgrado la giornata di piena estate sia serena e calda (isoterma di 0°C alle nove a 4000 m) su questo versante il sole sorge tardi. Suggerisco quindi...

Escursione Bike & Hike in alta Val Calanca, una valle appartata, rimasta isolata per parecchio tempo dai traffici nord-sud. La sua storia è simile a quella di molte comunità montane, caratterizzate dal nomadismo stagionale e dalla migrazione temporanea. Ecco un estratto da “Quaderni Grigioni Italiano” risalente al...

Escursione Bike & Hike in Valle d’Arbedo: da ripetere! Il dislivello in salita di 1685 m e la pendenza media del 9,7%, con tratte che sfiorano il 15% rendono questo itinerario impegnativo per gli utenti della mtb muscolare. Con la e-mtb è ovviamente più abbordabile e richiede solo un discreto allenamento....

Piz Arlos (2697 m) is a mountain peak just south of Savognin. So far it had only two hikr reports, so it's not that popular I suppose. But according to the summit book, it had actually been visited five times this summer. The peak P.2863, which is nearly 2 km further south, did not have any entries in the summit book for this...

Un sommet qui se prête idéalement à une approche à vélo, la petite route du Suldtal est sauvage est de toute beauté, la traversée pédestre arête S - arête W est juste pimentée ce qu'il faut sans jamais devenir anxiogène (les quelques passages exposés sont chainés), la vue sur les lacs de Brienz et de Thun...

This tour to Chrüz (2195 m) was a bike & hike with start and end in Schiers. Start of the tour at 8:30 AM in Schiers at the train station. I followed the road up to Stelserberg, partially biking and partially walking the bike (10 km distance, 1000 m elevation gain, average slope 10%). Near Stelsersee I parked my bike, and...

Pas l'idée du siècle mais trouvé personne pour grimper et pas envie d'aller skier seul dans la foule du Simplon. Je m'attendais à des conditions plus hivernales, au final c'est une jolie combinaison 100% au soleil sur 1600m de D+ même fin novembre...pensant marcher un chouia dans la neige j'ai pédalé en trek-vibram mais...

Mattjisch Horn (2460 m) has been described here on hikr.org a number of times already, but I think this is the first time as a bike & hike report. Start of the tour in Langwies shortly before 9:00 AM. I followed the forest road from Langwies all the way up to P.2079 (Seta), mostly walking the bike. The first 2.5 km of this...

This time of the year the Flumserberg area is pretty much deserted. Currently none of the lifts are operating. I only met a few people while biking, and during the hike I didn't meet anyone, even though I mostly followed the white-red-white (wrw) marked trails. I started off with the mountain bike from Tannenbodenalp at 8:30...

Chirchli (2769 m) is a mountain peak which is probably unknown to most. But I enjoy hiking to peaks that are rather unknown, and where rarely anyone would go. This time it was even more extreme, because Chirchli is kind of far away from any starting point. As a bike & hike from Monbiel it is easily manageable as a day trip...

Un giro classico, molto conosciuto dai biker, allungato un po' con la visita al lago Castel e quella, (poco ciclistica), agli splendidi laghi del Boden.

Wenn etwas Bestehendes geändert wird, müsste das Neue besser sein. Warum sonst sollte man das Bisherige ändern? Doch im Wandergebiet rings um Filzbach wurde einiges geändert, leider sind es meist "Verschlimm-besserungen". Erst bin ich mit dem Bike über den Kerenzer gefahren. Das ist an einem Wochenende selten eine gute...

Inner Fürberg (aka Gross Fürberg) is a peak which is rather easy to hike to, but it still offers a great view to the glacier and the highest peaks in the Glärnisch massif. I started off at 7:15 in the morning from Plätz, bringing my mountain bike along. The forest road to Chäseren is quite steep in many places, so I mostly...

An diesem Astronomischen Datum sind wohl einige unterwegs gewesen den Blutmond/Mondfinsternis zu sehen. Auch wir waren am Biwakieren in der Fläche beim Guscha oberhalb Flums. Mit noch etwas müden Beinen, aber dank dem e-Bike hoch bis zur Alp Mädems Hintersäss. Ab da zu Fuss zum Guscha. Das Wetter warm und noch ohne Wind. Eine...
