Achill Head, at approximately 90m above sea level, might seem like a laughable goal for a hike to the naive Swiss 4000m-bagger. But the appeal of this route lies exactly in the lack of altitude. Being directly surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean on both sides, the ridge leading up to Achill Head is one of the most continuously...

The Fruttstägä via ferrata is two years old but is yet to see it's first Hikr ascent. It's a short route that can be done in half a day, or it can be the start of a longer tour in the Chaiserstock massif. We go for the second option.
From Biel/Kinzig, signposts show the way to the start of the Fruttstägä via ferrata (K4-)....

For the second day in a row, I'm venturing into the Uri Alps. And for the second day running, though by total coincidence, I'm going in parinacota's footsteps... This time, our common goal is the Bälmeten. Yesterday we were surprised by the incredible amounts of snow on the Chaiserstock. Today, it's equally astonishing how little...

Finally, I've had another chance to visit the Dolomites, even if it was just for two days. The weather forecast for day one was not that great either, but we took our chance anyway, and we were rewarded for that.

We take the cable car up to Col Raiser and start in a slightly descending line past the Regensburger Hütte...

Day 1
Ossasco - Capanna Cristallina
T2-T3, 1200m ascent, 3h
The weather forecast for this Saturday afternoon had been quite wet, but we get lucky and don't get more than a light drizzle during the three hour ascent from Ossasco to the Capanna Cristallina. The visibility is rarely more than 50m, though. The modern incarnation...

We start our hike at the Brunnmettlenalp, reached by car on an unpaved road from the upper end of the Obersee. There is ample parking at the end of the public road at ca. 1175m. We continue on foot to Ahornen where we join the alpine route onto the Tierberg. At P. 1524 (signpost), there is choice between two different paths. We...

Start of the hike around 9 o'clock in Sertig. I followed the white-red-white marked trail in direction Fanezfurgga. The Ducan valley is really scenic, and the weather was picture perfect with blue skies and not a single cloud! I spotted a few marmots on the way.
From Fanezfurgga, I hiked up along the Chrachenhorn NE ridge,...
