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...

Die heutige Wanderung ging von Innerferrera zum Piz Spadolazzo (2722 m). Start in Innerferrera etwa um 8:30 mit dem Mountain Bike (kein e-bike). Das Bike wurde mehrheitlich gestossen bis zur Punt da la Muttala. Auf der Alp Niemet waren übrigens nur zwei Kühe, und nicht eine ganze Herde wie ich es schon mal erlebt habe. Das Bike...

Nice hike from Elm up to Fanenstock together with my wife. It was nice and sunny weather. Lunch a bit below the summit due to the many flies at the top. During the hike we spotted a couple of marmots, and an eagle. During the descent we mostly followed the forest road instead of the hiking trail, due to the muddy conditions on the...

Nice hike from Weglosen to Druesberghütte together with my two sons. Partially cloudy, with some sunshine in between. We hiked up to Druesberghütte and a little bit further, where we had an early lunch on a bench at elevation 1700 m (near Twäriberghütte). Descent on the same way. Only few people in the area.

Nice short hike from St. Margrethenberg to Pizalun with my youngest son. The weather was mostly sunny with a nice cooling breeze, so we actually needed a thin sweater part of the time. One hour lunch break in the restaurant Buura-Beizli.

Nice hike from Klöntalersee (Plätz) to Oberlängenegg together with my two sons. Nice and sunny weather after all the rain in the last few days. We hiked up to Oberlängenegg and had lunch there in the sunshine. It was quite bright, cause it had snowed last night, and there were still patches of fresh snow. Descent on the same...

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...

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. Ober Baumgarten 1860 m - Muttseehütte 2501 m -> (T3, hiking time 1 h 30 min) I...

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...

I began this trip by taking the cable car from Brunni (Engelberg) to Ristis. The first cable car left Brunni at 7:30 in the morning, which was great in order to get an early start. The hike took me past Rugghubelhütte (mountain lodge), which is a very popular destination in the summer. From there I continued up to Rot Grätli....

I started this hike on the parking lot at the Fürenalp cable car station (elevation 1084 m). From there I walked back down the road a few hundred meters to reach the start of the hiking trail going up towards Undrist Stafel and Fürenalp. After about 1 h 40 min I reached Vorder Füren, and continued straight up towards the...

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...

Piz Segnas and Piz Sardona offer magnificent panoramic views and are relatively easy to access from the southwest side of Piz Segnas (if the snow is gone). First I took the chair lifts Flims - Foppa, then Foppa - Naraus, where my hike started at about 09:15 in the morning. A bit late, but the lifts only start operating...

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...

Magerrain is well described here on hikr already, and I just wanted to add some detail about my route which did not go past Erdisgulmen and not through the famous crack (german: die Spalte). I started from Maschgenkamm and hiked past Sächserseeli on a well-known trail. Then I went in the general direction of...

On this day the weather was not perfect, but I was eager to start the hiking season, so I decided to go anyway. My choice fell on Chöpfenberg (1896 m), close to Wägitalersee. From Innerthal to Scheidegg I followed a marked trail. Below Bockmattli this trail was very muddy, like it seems to be most of the time. From Scheidegg...

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...

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,...

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,...
