What is better than starting the new year with a mountain hike in wonderful weather?! I had never before been to the Tamina valley, so it was exciting to see a new area as well. The Muntaluna south ridge was still nearly free of snow, so the conditions were really favorable. I started out at the parking lot at the valley...

Nice hike from Brunni to Grosser Mythen. Because of the fog, the view from the summit was very limited though. But I got to see an alpine salamander at the top of the mountain! Remark: The attached GPS track is not an actual recording, but I drew the route in Google Earth right after the hike.

Büelenhorn (2513 m) is a peak very close to Davos, between the Dischma and Flüela valleys. I started my hike at the golf course in Davos Dorf (during the winter, this golf course is used for cross country skiing). First I walked along the road passed Duchli and up to "In den Büelen", before I mounted the snowshoes. From...

Pischahorn (2980 m) is a mountain peak very close to Davos, and easily accessible from the Flüela valley. I started my hike at 8:00 in the morning at the parking lot for the Pischa aerial cable car. First I hiked straight up the rather steep hill through the forest. There was hardly any snow left, so the snowshoes remained...

Backcountry skiing in Flumserberg - is that possible? Well, the ski resort is now closed for the season, so in that sense it's all off piste. This was my first backcountry ski tour in ages. I rented the equipment at Bächli Bergsport (Pfäffikon SZ), since I don't have such skis or boots myself. I started off at Tannenbodenalp,...

Start of the hike at 8:00 o'clock in the morning in Sertig. There were quite a few backcountry skiers getting ready at the same time, but I seemed to be the only snowshoe hiker. In Sertig it was around -2°C when I started, and the snow was hard frozen. Therefore I could easily walk on the snow just with my hiking boots, and...

I started off at the Flüela pass road in Tschuggen (close to Davos). The parking lot was already quite full at 8:30 when I arrived there, with several cars parked along the road as well. The temperature was around -7°C with a little bit of wind, so it felt quite cold. Finally at 9:00 o'clock I was ready to go, and I quickly...

Start at Tannenbodenalp at 13:00, the temperature was +4°C. It was of course quite late in the day for a ski tour, but I assumed conditions would remain favorable due to the cold temperatures. And in fact, above 1600 m there was still powder on north facing slopes in the late afternoon! I went from Tannenbodenalp to Chrüz,...

Start at Wägerhus (elevation 2000 m) at 09:30. The temperature was around freezing, or slightly below. My initial plan was to park at Wägerhütta (elevation 2200 m), but that parking lot was partially covered with snow and there were no parking spots left when I arrived. So I turned around and parked further down, and made a...

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.

Seehorn (2238 m) and Hüreli (2444 m) are two peaks very close to Davos. In fact, I started my hike at the lake in Davos. I followed the marked trail to Chaltboden, and then to Seehorn. Just before the summit, I had to cross 2-3 snowfields, but it was easy since I could follow the tracks of others who had been there yesterday(?)....

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...

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...

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 of the hike shortly after 9:00 in Bivio. It was still mostly cloudy, but the weather forecast predicted improving conditions, which also happened after noon. I brought my mountain bike along. Going uphill, I partially biked, and partially walked the bike. At the signpost Cadval, I parked the bike, and continued on the...

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...

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...

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...

This hike covers the four peaks Motta da Sett (2637 m), Piz dal Sasc (2720 m), Piz Lunghin (2780 m), and Piz Grevasalvas (2932 m). During the ascent towardsPiz Grevasalvas, I tried out a new option for getting more easily up to the ridge between P.2724 and P.2794. During the descent from Piz Grevasalvas, I also tried out a new...

Start of the hike at 08:15 in Bivio. I followed the white-red-white marked trail towards Stallerberg (T2). At P.2429, I left the marked trail and hiked more or less straight towards Piz Surparé. For the final ascent, there are some small cairns and an unmarked trail showing the way. Overall, the difficulty of the ascent I would...
