Nice hike from Weglosen up to Fidisberg together with my two sons. It was partially cloudy weather, but the sun came through every now and then. We mostly followed the forest road and/or the wrw marked hiking trail, except for the last part up to Fidisberg where there is no marked trail. Lunch at the summit with a nice view to...

Hike from Allenwinden (near Schindellegi) up to Rossberg and Wildspitz together with my two sons. Cloudy and foggy on the way up, but no rain. Lunch at a bench near the top. Descent on the same way. The trail was quite muddy between Rossberg and Wildspitz. During the descent the weather improved with a mix of sun and clouds.

Hike from the southern shore of Wägitalersee up to Lauibüel together with my two sons. Nice and sunny weather. We hiked past Abern Oberalp and Rinderweid. Lunch a little bit above Lauibüel. Descent on the same way. Only few people in the area.

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.

Start at Wägitalersee at 9:00 AM. I followed the white-red-white marked trail past Alp Zindlen. There are a few snowfields you need to cross on the way, but none are in the steep parts of the hike. With a reasonably good pace I needed 2 hours 15 min to reach the summit. I spent nearly 30 min at the summit just enjoying the...

Nice hike from Wägitalersee to Nüssen together with my two sons. Warm weather for mid April. Lunch at the cross on Nüssen. Great views to the surrounding mountains, and to Wägitalersee. Same way back again.

Nice hike from Innerthal to Bockmattlistock (1931 m). New personal record for the ascent: 1h 40 min. Mainly due to the lightweight approach with waterproof jogging shoes instead of hiking boots. Lunch break a little bit below Bockmattlihütte during the descent.

Nice hike to Brüschstockbügel with my two sons. We enjoyed the nice weather, and there were hardly any people around. Lunch break at Schwarzenegg during the descent. Since it was an easy hike, we only used sneakers.

Nice hike in perfect weather! Only few people in the area. Met a group of five hikers at the summit of Schiberg, and one lady at the summit of Plattenberg. I went on this hike alone. Main difficulties: Ascent Schiberg from Hohfläschen via Tschingel: T3 Descent Schiberg on the marked trail with one small but tricky...

Nice hike from Wägitalersee to Redertengrat. I barely used the snow shoes, only in the upper part. It would have been fine to go without them. The snow was hard in the morning, but not too hard. And in the afternoon it was soft, but not too soft. Good to get out in the fresh air and sunshine, and the starting place is only 45...

Nice walk on Etzel with spring-like temperatures (15°C). Not that many people out since all restaurants are closed due to the corona virus emergency situation. But still important to get out once in a while to get some fresh air. I went alone.

Nice afternoon hike to the summit of Brüschstockbügel together with my wife. The weather was perfect with mild temperatures. Hardly any snow on the way. This was my 6th visit to Brüschstockbügel.

Nice morning hike to the summit of Brüschstockbügel together with my oldest son. The weather was perfect in the morning, but shortly before noon a few clouds moved in. Lunch at the restaurant in Innerthal after the hike.

Hike from Wägitalersee to Schwialppass on the wrw marked trail together with my wife. Just before Schwialppass a couple of snowfields still block the trail, but they can easily be bypassed or crossed. It was mostly cloudy, but apart from a few raindrops it remained dry. We saw many different flowers, so it was kind of a botanical...

Wändlispitz (1970 m) is a mountain peak which looks quite impressive, and it is not that easy to get up there. The routes across Gartenbeetli, Schäferweg, and SE ridge are all rated T6. Then there is the route via Gross Sienen (which is a T5) and that is the one I did today. Many thanks to Nobis for the report which gave me most...

Since the weather forecast was better for the morning than for the afternoon, I chose to do a relatively quick and early morning hike to Zindlenspitz. Start at Wägitalersee at 6:15 AM. I followed the white-red-white marked trail past Alp Zindlen. There are only two snowfields you need to cross on the way, but neither is in the...

Hike from Weglosen to Roggenstock with my wife. The weather was really perfect. The botanical highlights can be seen on the attached photos. A lot of snow has melted since my last hike here 9 days ago.

Roggenstock (1776 m) is a mountain in the Hoch-Ybrig area. I had actually never been up there before, even though it is a fairly easy and short hike close to home. Start of the hike only at 11:00 AM (cause I had another appointment earlier in the morning). From Weglosen I followed the wrw marked trail all the way up to the top...

The weather forecast had predicted nice and sunny weather in the morning, but more clouds in the afternoon. So today I intended to make a bit a shorter hike. My choice fell on Rütistein in the Hoch-Ybrig area. Start of the hike at 08:15 AM in Weglosen. I ascended from Weglosen on the white-blue-white marked trail via Leiteren...

Great snowshoe hike to Redertengrat (2213 m) in early May! Start of the hike at 8:40 AM. At the parking lot I met a guy who had the same goal as me, but he took the shorter ascent directly through the forest up towards Rinderweid. He was later using snowshoes and carrying his snowboard on the back. Just 10 minutes into my...
