Bike & hike to Piz Linard (2768 m) on December 27th! Normally, I would consider the alpine hiking season to last from May through October. But this year is different. I was inspired by Polder's report from 02-DEC-2015, and I assumed that the snow from 3 weeks ago was now gone. I could even see from one webcam in the...

Wissmilen (2483 m) from Maschgenkamm A nice and easy hike from Maschgenkamm to Wissmilen, passing Alp Fursch on the way. The most difficult section is after Wissmilenpass, on the way up towards Wissmilen. There it is a bit rugged and rocky terrain, partially a bit exposed as well (T3). But it all follows a marked red and white...

5-lakes hike plus Pizol peak (2844 m) The 5 lakes hike (5-Seen Wanderung) in the Pizol area is well known, so I will not describe it in more detail. Usually people may start at the Pizol lodge and walk from the Wildsee lake down. However, I started at Gaffia, and went from theBaschalvasee lake upwards. After reaching Wildsee, I...

Hinderrugg (2306 m) from Unterwasser Nice hike from Unterwasser to Hinderrugg and Chäserrugg, followed by a walk on Rosenböden. The hike from Unterwasser to Hinderrugg means 1400 m of elevation gain, and took about 3 hours with a good pace. The following hike to Chäserrugg and walk on Rosenböden is not included in the time...

Parpaner Rothorn, Ostgipfel (2899 m) from Lenzerheide I started this hike in Lenzerheide, following the marked trail to Alp Sanaspans, then past Lai Plang Bi and to P.2565 at Plang Digl Mestgel. From there I went straight up towards the ridge between the two peaks of Parpaner Rothorn. This last part is quite steep, has no path,...

Ortstock (2717 m) from Braunwald via Bärentritt Start in Braunwald in the morning at 8:30. The hike goes like a computer game: Level 1: Braunwald - Ober Stafel Level 2: Ober Stafel - Bärentritt - Lauchboden Level 3: Lauchboden - P.2402 Furggele Level 4: P.2402 Furggele - Ortstock summit The descent was the same as the...

A nice hike to Druesberg (2282 m) and Forstberg (2215 m) from Weglosen. I followed the blue/white marked trail from Weglosen in direction of Druesberg. After visiting the summit of Druesberg, I descended to Druesberglücke, and continued across some snowfields and up to Forstberg. Next, I descended towards Klein Sternen, where...

Driving up from Sisikon to Chäppeliberg by car was already an exiting start of the day, as the road is only one lane wide. The places where crossing traffic can pass are not that many. But there was hardly anyone else on the road, so it worked out just fine. The gondola going from Chäppeliberg to Gitschen was the old style...

First I took the chair lift from Flims to Foppa and then the second chair lift fromFoppa to Naraus. From Alp Naraus I hiked to the Segnas mountain lodge, past the Grauberg station, and up to Grischsattel. From there it's an easy walk to the summit of Ofen. On the way back, I also hiked to the top of the neighboring peak Piz...

This hike started at P.1860 Chalchtrittli, following the marked trail up to Muttseehütte (mountain lodge), and then to Kistenpasshütte (another mountain lodge). From there almost straight up to Muttenbergen P.2895 and P.2905. There was perhaps 10 cm of snow, but no ice where I went, so it was possible to hike without crampons....

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...

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!

This hike fromWägitalersee to the summit of Zindlenspitz (2097 m) has been described by many others already, so I will not provide much more detail. I mainly would like to share some pictures and impressions. Times (not including breaks): Wägitalersee P.932 - Zindlenspitz: 3 h Zindlenspitz -Wägitalersee P.932: 2 h 30 min

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...

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...

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...

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...

I started this hike in Wildhaus, and went up to the summit of Wildhuser Schafberg via the south ridge. From Schäferhütte (1552 m) I followed the ridge on the left side, and not the marked trail. There are some rather steep grassy sections, which were now even more difficult due to sheep poop... I would say it's better to follow...

Start in Bargis at 9:30 in morning (arrival with the earliest bus). The first part of this hike we followed the marked trail in the direction of Alp Mora. After the bridge at P.1872 we went straight on the unmarked trail through the mountain pine (Legföhren) area. If there was no trail, I think it would be impossible to get past...

My first hike to Piz Toissa and Curvér Pintg da Taspegn. The weather was not quite as nice as the weather forecast had predicted, but it was a mix of sun and clouds. It was also quite hazy, so that it wasn't really possible to make nice panoramic photos. I started this hike at the Sars parking lot at elevation 1800 m, and...
