Corn Alv (2992 m) and Piz Campagnung (2825 m)
This was a really nice hike in picture perfect weather with blue skies and not a single cloud! Amazing weather and mild temperatures given that we are already in November. Start of the hike at 09:15 at the Julier pass road (La Veduta). The temperature was about -2°C, but as soon as I started hiking it felt much warmer in the...

Tiaun (2704 m) - bike & hike from Davos Wiesen
---English text below--- Da dies der erste hikr Bericht für Tiaun ist, habe ich mich entschieden den Bericht auch auf Deutsch zu schreiben. Tiaun (2704 m) ist ein Gipfel oberhalb von Davos Wiesen, welcher bis heute auf hikr.org nicht beschrieben wurde. Woran das wohl liegen könnte? Der Gipfel sieht von der Wiesner Alp aus...

Muchetta (2622 m) - bike & hike from Filisur
Muchetta is a mountain east of and above the village Filisur. There is a white-red-white marked trail all the way from Filisur up to the summit, but this ascent implies a hefty 1600 m elevation gain. To at least make the descent a bit easier on the knees, I brought my mountain bike along. I mostly walked the bike uphill on the...

Tgapeala Cotschna (2712 m) - bike & hike from Alvaneu Dorf
Tgapeala Cotschna is a peak above the village called Alvaneu Dorf. Until now it had only been been described twice here on hikr.org, and in both cases it was a ski tour. 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 drive further up, a special...

Felsberger Calanda (2697 m) - bike & hike from Unterkunkels
Start of the hike in Unterkunkels at 08:30 in the morning. With the mountain bike I followed the road towards Kunkelspass. This road is paved all the way. Somewhere past Oberkunkels as it became steeper, I mostly walked the bike. Near Kunkelspass, I left my mountain bike behind, and continued on foot up the white-red-white...

Chrachenhorn (2891 m) - hike from Sertig
Start of the hike around 9 o'clock in Sertig. I followed the white-red-white marked trail in direction Fanezfurgga. The Ducan valley is really scenic, and the weather was picture perfect with blue skies and not a single cloud! I spotted a few marmots on the way. From Fanezfurgga, I hiked up along the Chrachenhorn NE ridge,...

Siwellen, Tristli and Schilt - bike & hike from Ennenda
Start of the hike at 7:30 in Ennenda at the train station. I brought my mountain bike along. Going uphill, I mostly walked the bike though. The road to Ennetberg and even further up is paved and in excellent condition. I parked the bike at elevation 1325 m. From there, I continued on the white-red-white marked trail to...

Vättnerchopf (2618 m) and Scadellagrat (2541 m)
Start of the hike in Vättis at 06:30 in the morning. I followed the white-red-white marked trail up to Alp Ladils (this destination is not indicated, but Muntaluna is). It paid off being so early - after only 10-15 min hiking I saw two red deer in the forest! Just before Alp Ladils, I took a left on an unmarked trail, and later I...

Bike & hike to Pizza Grossa (2939 m)
This hike was inspired by hike reports from ivo66 describing the ascent on the Pizza Grossa south ridge. It ended up being a wonderful hike in picture perfect weather! I started my hike & bike just above the village of Tinizong at elevation 1320 m. I followed the alp road in direction Alp d'Err, mostly walking the bike. At...

Bike & (snowshoe) hike from Savognin to Piz Mez (2718 m)
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...

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...

Älplihorn (3006 m) from Sertig
Again perfect weather for hiking! I started in Sertig, and followed the marked trail towards Fanezfurgga. The Ducan valley is very scenic, and I also spotted numerous marmots there. After reaching Fanezfurgga, I traversed into the Bärentälli valley. At the beginning it was very rocky and bumpy terrain, and it may be better to...

Piz Polaschin (3013 m) - ascent SW ridge, descent SE ridge
Another wonderful day in the mountains! After the long hike the day before I wanted to do a bit a shorter one, and my choice fell on Piz Polaschin. From the parking lot along the Julier pass road, I walked down along the main road for 300-400 m, to be able to cross the bridge over the creek. Soon after I reached the official...

Piz d'Agnel (3204 m), Tschima da Flix (3316 m) and Piz Picuogl (3333m)
On this day the weather was perfect for a long hike to Tschima da Flix and other surrounding peaks. I started the hike at the parking lot on Alp Flix at 1900 m, and followed the road to Tigias (where the mountain restaurant and hotel Piz Platta is). Then I headed up the creek along Ava da las Tigias up to the flat area Plang Lung...

Piz Murtelet (3019 m) - bike & hike from Sertig
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...

Unnamed peak P.3096 - bike & hike from 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,...

Segnas pass and Piz Dolf (3028 m) in perfect weather!
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...

Nice hike to the summit of Nüschenstock (2893 m)
Starting point: By car to the visitor's parking lot in Tierfehd, close to the cable car station. The cable car is mostly used by the workers at the hydro-power dam, but it is also open for "tourists" during normal hours. The fare was 10 Fr. one way and 15 Fr. for a return ticket. The cable car takes you 1000 m higher...
