Bike & hike to Fluebrig Diethelm and Turner from Ochsenboden. Start of the hike at 7:00 in the morning. I brought my mountain bike along, but I just walked the bike. The main purpose of bringing the bike was to shorten the descent... I left the bike at the end of the forest road at approx. 1300 m elevation. Next, I followed...

In this hike to Bockmattli, we first followed the road from Innerthal up to Schwarzenegg (T1). Next, we continued on the white-red-white marked trail towards Bockmattlipass and Bockmattli (T2-T3). The ascent up to Bockmattlipass through Chälen was slightly more challenging than normal, because it was all wet after the rain...

Nice hike to the summit of Brüschstockbügel together with my wife. The weather was perfect in the morning, but shortly before noon clouds moved in. Great lunch at the restaurant in Innerthal after the hike.

Nice hike to the summit of Brüschstockbügel together with OJ. Patches of fog lingered around, especially around the higher mountain peaks in the area. Nice lunch at the restaurant in Innerthal after the hike.

This was a very nice hike to Plattenberg (2081 m) in perfect weather. I followed the wrw marked trail from Wägitalersee via Aberli to Hohfläschenmatt. From there I ascended on the left side in the south flank directly towards the summit of Plattenberg. Between elevation 1800 and 1900 m, the average slope is actually 41°. But...

Afternoon hike to Gross Aubrig. Yesterday while biking at Wägitalersee, I saw that there was only a little bit of snow left at the top of Gross Aubrig. And today the ascent from Schrä via Bärlaui was nearly possible without having to walk through snow. It was a bit muddy here and there, but actually less than I had expected....

Brüschstockbügel is a hilltop close to Wägitalersee. It offers a great view to Bockmattli and Chöpfenberg. In this snowshoe hike, I followed the road from Innerthal up to Schwarzenegg and then to Schwarzenegghöchi (T1, WT1). However, I only mounted the snowshoes when I was about halfway up at elevation 1150 m. From...

This was a very nice hike to Schiberg (2043 m) together with my friend Stephen. We started at the lake Wägitalersee, and followed the white-red-white marked trail to the summit of Schiberg. We spotted quite a few chamois on the way, but they were all pretty far away. The weather was great, and even if we are now in...

A nice hike to Rossalpelispitz or Rossälplispitz as it is called on the newest online maps. I started the hike around 8:30 in the morning, and almost the entire ascent took place in the shade. But the temperatures were still quite mild and pleasant. I followed the white-blue-white marked trail from P.1592 up to the summit. At...

In this hike to Bockmattli, I first followed the road from Innerthal up to Schwarzenegg (T1). Next, I continued on the white-red-white marked trail towards Bockmattlipass and Bockmattli (T3). Above elevation 1500 m, there was snow on the ground. The ascent up to Bockmattlipass through Chälen was still quite easy, because the snow...

Nice hike from Weglosen to Druesberghütte together with my wife. In the morning, fog and low clouds covered the peaks Twäriberg, Druesberg, and Forstberg. But later we got to see all three peaks. After a short coffee break at Druesberghütte, we continued to Vordere Wannenhöchi (1755 m). Next, we headed back to Druesberghütte...

The weather forecast had predicted nice and sunny weather in the morning, but thunderstorms in the late afternoon. So today I decided to make a bit a shorter hike. My choice fell on Twäriberg in the Hoch-Ybrig area. I ascended from Weglosen on the white-blue-white marked trail via Leiteren (T3+). It was a bit wet from the rain...

Start in Weglosen shortly after 8:00 in the morning. I followed the snow covered road up to Druesberghütte. This road is used for sledging, ski tours and hiking in the winter, but obviously nobody was coming downhill early in the morning. At Druesberghütte, I put on my snowshoes, and continued in direction Lehhütte. Somewhere...

The plan was to hike to the summit of Ochsenchopf (2179 m), but due to the very wet grass (dew), I aborted the hike just below Ochsenchopf at the start of the steep section (where ropes/chains are mounted). Still it was a nice hike in a scenic landscape.

Nice hike from Wägitalersee to Chli Aubrig together with my wife. Same way back again. Great views to the surrounding mountains, and to Sihlsee. There were also lots of nice spring flowers to see on the way.

Schülberg (1930 m), Biet (1965 m), and Fidisberg (1919 m) - half spring, half winter Since there is still so much snow at higher elevations, I chose to go to Hoch-Ybrig and explore the area around Schülberg. The weather was perfect, but there was still a lot of snow even below 2000 m elevation. Route: From Weglosen on the...

Time for the first hike of the season! Two days ago while biking at Wägitalersee, I saw that there was still a little bit of snow at the top of Gross Aubrig. Today that snow was all gone, and the ascent from Schrä via Bärlaui was possible without having to walk through snow. For the trail via Eggstofel it is another story. I...

Nice hike to the summit of Mutteristock, which is the second highest peak around Wägitalersee. It is only surpassed by the neighboring peak Redertenstock, which is 1 m higher. In the morning there were clear skies, but later on the clouds and fog appeared around the mountain tops. Fortunately, the view from the summit of...

On this nice and very warm day in June, I hiked to Bockmattli, Tierberg, Schiberg and Plattenberg. These are just four of many more peaks in the vicinity of Wägitalersee. On Schiberg I visited the south summit, but due to time constraints I skipped the north summit (even though I was very close to it). The ascent to Plattenberg...

I think the main idea here was to see the flowers called "Fraueschüeli".
