Panixer pass & Crap Tgietschen (2624 m)
On this hike I went up from Walenbrugg up to Panixer pass. Along this route there are numerous scenic waterfalls! From the Panixer pass I continued to the summit of Crap Tgietschen aka Rotstock 2624 m. There is no trail or path from Panixer pass to Crap Tgietschen, but the terrain is not very difficult (T3), and it's only 200 m...

Rautispitz (2283 m) - from Obersee
This hike from Obersee to Rautispitz has been described by many others already, so I will not provide much more detail. I mainly would like to share some nice pictures. The weather was really perfect on the day of my hike!

Chli Chärpf (2700 m) on a warm day in August
It was a warm day on my hike to Chli Chärpf (2700 m). In the morning there were clear skies, but later on clouds appeared around the mountain peaks. It was actually very warm to hike up from Unter Ämpächli to Charpfscharte. Only at the summit of Chli Chärpf, the temperatures were more comfortable. Somewhere before P.2260 I...

A visit to Martinsloch from Elm
Martinsloch is a hole with 15 m diameter in the mountain range between Elm and Flims at an elevation of 2600 m. See also: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martinsloch I started this hike in Elm right where the aerial cable way starts (Tschingelbahn), but I did not take the gondola up. Instead I followed the marked trail in...

Winter hike to Schijen (2259 m) and Chli Gumen (2247 m)
Definitely a winter hike when considering the date, but not really winter conditions. Except maybe at Klöntalersee, where the grass was frosted over. Further up it was pure sunshine, and not very much snow, except in the shady areas. I started out at Klöntalersee, following the white-red-white trail up to P.1739 (hikr...

Ochsenchopf (2179 m) - bike & hike from Klöntal
Ochsenchopf (2179 m) is an impressive mountain between the valleys Wägital and Klöntal. You can hike there from either side, but the final ascent on the typical route will be the same. From the western end of Klöntalersee, the mountain looks particularly impressive, and it's hard to believe that the summit can be reached on a...

Inner Fürberg (2627 m) - bike & hike from Klöntal
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...

Rautispitz (2283 m) - snowshoe hike
This tour to Rautispitz was a mixed hike and snowshoe hike. There is still a lot of snow left above elevation 1700 m. The weather was not that great, with low clouds and fog lingering around the mountain tops. But at least it remained dry. I followed the wrw marked trail from Obersee to Grapplistafel and almost to Rautihütten....

Längeneggpass - hike from Obersee
Hike from Obersee to Längeneggpass together with my wife. The weather was nice, but many mountains tops were hidden in the fog for most of the day. We saw many interesting plants and flowers on the way.

Vorder Glärnisch (2328 m) - hike from Hinter Sackberg
Nice hike to Vorder Glärnisch (2328 m) in perfect weather. Start of the hike in Hinter Saggberg at 8:45 AM, following the white-blue-white trail. It becomes pretty steep quickly, and basically it remains steep until you get to the summit. Exposed sections are safe guarded with chains. After 2 h 15 min with a good pace I reached...

Fanenstock (2236 m) - hiking in the snow
Nice winter hike from Elm to Fanenstock. Start of the hike at 8:20 AM from the Tschinglenbahn parking lot. The temperature was -3°C, and for the first hour I had to hike in the shade, so it felt rather cold. I mostly followed the wrw marked trail and/or the forest road. In Elm there was hardly any snow, but higher up there were...

Chli Gumen (2247 m) - snow shoe hike from Klöntalersee
I started this tour at Klöntalersee at 8:15 AM, following the white-red-white trail up towards Obere Scheiterböden. Starting at elevation 1100 m, there was snow cover. The snow was relatively hard, but I could follow the footsteps of someone who hiked there a few days ago. I only mounted the snow shoes above Lochstafel at...

During the ascent I did not exactly follow the marked trail at the...

Käsern & Werben - hike from Klöntalersee
Nice hike together with my wife, going up through Rossmatter Tal to Käsern and Werben. The waterfalls east of Werben are awesome! Lunch near Werben, and then hiking back the same way again. For me it was nice taking it a bit easier after yesterday's longer hike.

Gamperdun Mittel Stafel
Nice hike from the Tschinglenbahn valley station up to Gamperdun Mittel Stafel together with my two sons. It was partially cloudy weather, but the sun came through every now and then. We mostly followed the forest road instead of the hiking trail, due to the wet grass and slightly muddy conditions on the trail after the rain last...

Weralper Grat (2445 m), Foostöckli (2535 m), Grünspitz (2360 m), und Fanenstock (2236 m)
Lange, aber sehr schöne Wanderung über Weralper Grat (2445 m), Foostöckli (2535 m), Grünspitz (2360 m), und Fanenstock (2236 m). Nicht nur landschaftlich schön, sondern auch wegen den vielen Bergblumen, vor allem Enziane. Im Aufstieg zum Weralper Grat und auch im Abstieg gab es überall Enziane. In der Weralper Südflanke...

Chrauchtal
Hike in perfect weather from Matt up to the end of the valley called Chrauchtal. My wife and I followed the unpaved forest road (T1). There was a nice breeze, so it was not too warm. The valley is a really nice and scenic area, where not too many hikers or bikers go, and we had not been there before either.

Steinbock Safari am Wissgandstöckli
Das heutige Programm war eine Bike & Hike Kombination von Matt aufs Wissgandstöckli (2486 m). Der Gipfel wird aber meistens von Obersiez im Weisstannental bestiegen, denn von dort aus sind es nur halb so viele Höhenmeter und es gibt einen Wanderweg. Meine Route von Matt entspricht eher die Skiabfahrtsroute. Das Highlight...
