Hike classification: 3 stars (nice) Today a cold front was expected and according the model calculations around 15h-16h start of the rain was to be expected in the Toggenburg. With this I mind I nevertheless hoped that the weather would be good enough to go up to Wildhauser Schafberg and continue along the blue-white marked route...

Hiking classification: 3 stars (nice) Nice morning atmosphere and traverse to Alp Chüetungel with some exposed parts (fixed rope, stairs, T3). In addition ascent towards the pass at 2381 m. A rock barrier is taken on an exposed path, which has some snow rests and is slippery (T3+). From the pass onwards a longer, but only...

Hiking classification: 2 stars (acceptable) I wanted to hike from Gsteig and make a considerable longer tour, but forgot to put the alarm clock and woke up too late. Finally, I just made the normal hiking way to the Geltenhütte with Murielle and Stefan. The classification I put (acceptable) may sound a bit negative, but...

Hike classification: 2 stars (acceptable) The hike started at Alp Languard, and we were among a large group of other hikers that also wanted to go up to Piz Languard. From pt. 2927 m onwards steep and slightly exposed hike on good roads. The last 80 climbing meters the hands might also be used (T3+). Super views from the peak. We...

Hike classification: 4 stars (very nice) This Tour is from the beginning very nice. Very nice ascent through "Lärchenwälder", later a rather open landscape with still some "Lärchen" and many big stones. After a while (for us after 2h climbing) the idyllic. Lai da Chazfora is reached. Nice place...

Hiking classification: 4 stars (very nice) With the postbus (only one per dao pass Umbrail, at the border with Italy. After a coffee, along the border up to Piz Umbrail. From 2700m on the first snow, and from 2800 m onwards a closed snow cover. The ascent to Piz Umbrail is well marked and easy (T2+). There was a lot of wind...

Hiking classification: 2 stars (acceptable) Broad hiking roads took us to Alp la Schera. Later on smaller roads on the "broad peek" of Munt la Schera, where you can find a lot of Edelweiss. Cumulus clouds were developing very fast, and we were lucky that we were not hit by a thunderstorm. We had some nice views on...

Hike classification: 3 stars (nice) From Engstligenalp an efficient ascent over nice hiking paths, later rocky material to the Chindbettipass. There was a lot of wind, and I decided to descent into the "Tälli", which has a glaciar in the upper part. The Lämmerenhütte can be reached over this glaciar. I...

Hike classification: 2 stars (acceptable) Ascent from the last stop of the postbus along a broad path, which passes the waterfalls "simmenfälle". Later a steeper ascent, still along, boring broad roads. At Wengibärgli I left the marked road and instead of going around the mountain and reaching the ridge...

Hike Classification: 3 stars (nice) Around 3h there was a thunderstorm with some nice lightning, quite heavy thunders and strong wind gusts. In the morning it was very clouded, and the decision was not to pass the Calanda ridge (the original plan was to climb Felsberger Calanda and follow the ridge to Taminser Calanda,...

Hiking classification: 3 stars (nice) The hike starts in Vättis and follows a marked, small path. However, it is not an officially marked route. The path is from the beginning onwards very steep and somewhat exposed (T3). In the beginning the path is in the woods, later over gras and some rocky parts. Then there are...

Hike classification: 3 stars (nice, but not special) In spite of the very high temperatures we started today even later than yesterday (at 12), after cleaning the house. The wind made it very comfortable outside, and only few convective clouds developed, so in fact it was not a problem to start so late, also given the...

Hike classification: 2 stars (acceptable) We started this hike rather late, given the fact that the weather was very hot. We started somewhere above Bürglen OW. The first part consisted of a traverse in moderately steep gras above Lake Lungern, later a main, broad road was reached. While the others descended towards Lungern...

Hike classification: 3 stars (nice, but not special) This hike follows marked mountain paths. The ascent from Lenzerheide to Piz Scalottas is marked and not interesting. The hike along the ridge to Fulbergegg offers nice views, but is also somewhat degraded due to presence of ski infrastructure. Some slightly exposed parts are...

Hike classification: 3 stars (nice, but not special) An interesting, alternative option to visit the Pilatus is to reach it by hiking along an elongated ridge. This tour starts in Gfellen (Postbus), and a first longer ascent along marked paths (T2) brings us to Risetestock (nice views over Entlebuch). From here onwards, ...

Hike classification: 2 stars (acceptable) The climb from Les Avants to Col de Jaman follows often small paths in steep woods. This is a rather nice part of the hike (T2+). Unfortunately, col de Jamman was rather crowded and this might be often the case. You are also not alone when you climb Dent de Jaman. Nevertheless, the final...

Hike classification: 2 stars (acceptable) Very often when I hiked in this region, the weather was worse as expected. In most cases high stratus clouds were the reason. Also today very high stratus clouds limited the visibility at the top of the mountain . From Innerthal the ascent follows broad roads (T1), and from...
