Piz Mulain is a peak above the village called Alvaneu Dorf. Until now it had not been described here on hikr.org, so I was rather unsure about the best way to hike there, and about the difficulties. I started my hike just above the village Alvaneu Dorf at elevation 1250 m. There is a small parking lot at the end of the road. To...

This tour was a great combination of mountain biking, hiking, and snowshoe hiking. It was also a tour going from summer to winter and back again! I started off with my mountain bike in Savognin where the chairlift valley station is located. Going uphill, I partially biked, and partially walked the bike. Unfortunately, I took...

The mountain Carungas with an elevation of "only" 2622 meters is a rather small peak close to Savognin - at least compared to all the other higher and more famous peaks in the area. But Carungas offers a fantastic view to the surrounding mountains, especially on a day like this! Pizza Grossa, Piz Ela, Piz Salteras, Piz Bleis...

Sichelchamm is a remarkable sickle-shaped mountain which is easily spotted from Walenstadt, or from Flumserberg. After reading Delta's report Sichelchamm über die Sicheln, I wanted to ascend Sichelchamm through the sickles too. In addition, I planned to make a bike & hike out of it, using the roads to Lüsis and Vergoda....

Piz d'Artgas is a very nice viewpoint close to the mountain lodge Bifertenhütte, and it can be reached within a relatively short time from Brigels. This was important, since the weather forecast predicted scattered thunderstorms for the afternoon. I first took the chair lift from Brigels to Burleun, bringing my mountain bike...

In this area you will hardly meet any other hikers, and at the time of writing there was only one other report describing Piz Avat here on hikr.org. I started this hike at elevation 1380 m above the village of Sumvitg. Basically I drove up by car as far as it is allowed without any special permit. I brought my mountain bike along,...

I started this trip in Davos Dorf, riding my mountain bike up the Dischma valley to Dürrboden. The road is paved all the way, and in very good condition. After parking my bike, I continued on foot on the marked trail towards Chamanna da Grialetsch. About 20 minutes into the hike, I witnessed a cow being transported away hanging...

With this hike I wanted to explore the area around Sertig pass and try to reach the summit of Piz Murtelet (3019 m). The weather was perfect, and it was a really nice hike. The view from the summit was magnificent! I did not meet any other hikers on Piz Murtelet, but on the marked trails there were quite a few others who enjoyed...

In this hike to Lenzer Horn (2906 m), I went up from Lenzerheide to Alp Sanaspans, bringing my mountain bike along. Then I left the bike behind, and followed the white-blue-white marked trail to the summit. Afterwards I descended a bit on the east ridge, and realized that a descent on the south-east ridge would be feasible....

Bike & hike to Piz Linard (2768 m) on December 27th! Normally, I would consider the alpine hiking season to last from May through October. But this year is different. I was inspired by Polder's report from 02-DEC-2015, and I assumed that the snow from 3 weeks ago was now gone. I could even see from one webcam in the...

Hiking to Muttenstock from Brigels is a lot longer than from the Tierfehd/Muttsee side, but I was in Brigels and wanted to give it a try. The ascent towards the summit is supposedly a bit easier than from the Muttsee side. Start in Brigels at 9:15, which was rather late, but that is when the chairlift starts operating (Brigels...

A peak that that is close to a famous one, and not visible from the village apparently does not get a name assigned. So it seems for P.3096 on the Bifertenstock range. It is the lowest of four peaks leading up to Bifertenstock, but a wonderful viewpoint which is technically quite easy to reach. Of course, conditions may differ,...

A wonderful hike in perfect weather - just check the pics if you have any doubt! Start in Fidaz at 8:00 (Fidaz Waldrand). I brought my mountain bike along, but I mostly walked the bike unless the terrain was flat. Left the bike at elevation 1890 m where the road ends. I continued up the red/white marked hiking trail to P.2106,...

Given the hot summer weather I wanted to go for a hike at higher elevations. In the area around Crap Mats there was relatively little snow left, even with an elevation of 2500 - 3000 m. The hike included visits to Crap Mats (2947 m), Morchopf (2943 m), Tschep (2943 m), Tschep Sura (2838 m), and Tschep Sut (2666 m). In addition...

Piz Dado (2699 m) is probably not visited very often. At the time of writing this report, there were only two other hikr hike reports for this peak. Of course, it takes quite some effort to reach Piz Dado, as there are no chair lifts or cable cars leading up that way. But the peak does offer a magnificent view, and is well...
