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 & hike to Roccabella (2727 m)
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...

Bike & hike from Alvaneu to Piz Mulain (2625 m)
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...

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...

Hike to Seehorn & Hüreli (Davos)
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(?)....

Ski tour to Jörihorn (2844 m)
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...

Backcountry ski tour to Sentisch Horn (2826 m)
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...

Hike & snowshoe hike to Tällihorn (2683 m)
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...

Snowshoe hike to Pischahorn (2980 m)
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...

Snowshoe hike to Büelenhorn (2513 m)
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...

Bike & hike to Carungas (2622 m) in December
The mountain Carungas with an elevation of "only" 2622 meters is a rather small peak close to Savognin - at least compared to all the other higher and more famous peaks in the area. But Carungas offers a fantastic view to the surrounding mountains, especially on a day like this! Pizza Grossa, Piz Ela, Piz Salteras, Piz Bleis...

Motta Palousa, Crap la Massa, and P.2687 (above Crap Neir)
I thought this might be the last day for a nice autumn mountain hike before the winter comes. Starting point was at the parking lot close to Promastgel at elevation 1635 m, and I followed the marked trail to Motta Palousa (T2). Actually, the trail is an unpaved forest road until elevation 2000 m, and it would be easily possible to...

I started out in Lenzerheide, hiking up towards Alp Sanaspans on the marked trail. During the first part through the residential area I had some difficulty finding the right way, but eventually I made it onto the trail to Alp Sanaspans (T2, maybe T3 in a few places). From Alp Sanaspans on the marked trail in direction...

Piz d'Artgas (2787 m)
Piz d'Artgas is a very nice viewpoint close to the mountain lodge Bifertenhütte, and it can be reached within a relatively short time from Brigels. This was important, since the weather forecast predicted scattered thunderstorms for the afternoon. I first took the chair lift from Brigels to Burleun, bringing my mountain bike...

Piz Avat (2910 m) - bike & hike from Sumvitg
In this area you will hardly meet any other hikers, and at the time of writing there was only one other report describing Piz Avat here on hikr.org. I started this hike at elevation 1380 m above the village of Sumvitg. Basically I drove up by car as far as it is allowed without any special permit. I brought my mountain bike along,...

Nice hike from Naraus to the Segnas pass
This was a very nice hike to the Segnas pass together with my friend Stephen. We started in Flims, first taking the chair lift to Foppa, and then the next chair lift to Naraus. From Naraus, we hiked to the Segnas pass via Plaun Segnas Sura. At Muletg da Sterls it was time for lunch, and after that we hiked up to the Segnas...

I started this trip in Davos Dorf, riding my mountain bike up the Dischma valley to Dürrboden. The road is paved all the way, and in very good condition. After parking my bike, I continued on foot on the marked trail towards Chamanna da Grialetsch. About 20 minutes into the hike, I witnessed a cow being transported away hanging...

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...

Atlas (2927 m)
Since I had already been on many of the surrounding peaks close to Flims, it was time to pay a visit to the mountain called Atlas (2927 m). Even though this mountain is not as high as Piz Segnas or Piz Dolf, it still offers great panoramic views - especially on a day like this. The most difficult part of the hike was the...

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...
