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...

This hike was combining the Flims Riverside Trail (Trutg dil Flem) with a real mountain hike to Piz Grisch (aka Laaxer Stöckli). Sometimes you feel the need to start the hike "down in the valley", right?   First I hiked the Flims Riverside Trail (Trutg dil Flem) until Punt Desch, and then up along the (unpaved) road to...

August 1st, 2013 was an absolutely wonderful day for hiking, and it was my first hike to the Segnas pass with a really close view to the Martinsloch.   First I took the chair lift from Flims to Foppa, and then the next chair lift to Naraus, where my hike started at about 09:15 in the morning. I followed the trail past...

The weather in Switzerland during the summer of 2014 was not great, but the 18th of July was definitely one of the absolutely best summer days. Warm weather and blue skies all day long! Perfect hikr weather!   I started the trip at the parking lot at the lake in Brigels (Lag da Breil), right by the...

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...
