Bike & hike from Klöntal Plätz to Lauiberg, Biet, & Fläschenspitz in perfect weather! Start of the tour at 8:15 AM. First with the bike up to Schwelaui (500 m elevation gain), where I parked the bike. Then on the wrw marked trails up to Saaspass (T3). During the ascent I did not exactly follow the marked trail at the...

Nice hike from Alpnachstad up to Pilatus together with Thomas. The weather was mostly nice and sunny, but at the very top the fog remained, so there was not much of a view exactly at the summit. The train, aerial cable way, and the restaurants were all closed due to the corona emergency. We enjoyed our own lunch at Pilatus Kulm....

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.

Näbelchäppler (2445 m) - hike from Klöntal Plätz via Klönstalden, Hinter Schlattalp, and Chamm. Start of the hike at 8:40 AM. The first 3 km of the hike followed the forest road past Klönstalden up to elevation 1150 m (T1). Next, I followed an unmarked but mostly visible and well maintained trail up to elevation 1840 m...

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...

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.

Gumenstock (2255 m) - hike from Klöntal via Pauliberg and Auerenalp Mittelstafel. Start of the hike at 8:00 AM. The first half of the hike followed an unmarked but easily visible and very well maintained trail. The difficulty is generally T2-T3. The most difficult part of the trail is at elevation 1200 m. Steep and exposed,...

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.

Das Coronavirus führte seit gestern leider zu einem frühzeitigen Saisonende am Flumserberg. Dafür konnte ich heute mit gutem Gewissen und inklusive Social Distancing eine Skitour im Gebiet machen. Tour im Alleingang. Start in Tannenbodenalp um etwa 6:45. Um 8:00 Uhr war ich auf dem Maschgenkamm. Von Maschgenkamm die erste...

Nice ski tour from Stierva to Feil P.2440. Start of the tour at 9:00 AM. It would have been better to start a little bit earlier, both with regards to the snow conditions, but also to get an official parking spot (see above). Currently it is possible to start and end the ski tours right in the village of Stierva, even if there...

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.

Great snow shoe hike to the summit of Chrachenhorn, with start and end in Monstein. Start of the hike at 8:30 AM. The temperature was around -4°C. In Monstein there was approx. 5 cm of fresh snow from yesterday. I followed a brand new ski track in the direction of Oberalp. Further up I saw two groups of skiers ahead of me. But...

Schöne Schneeschuh Wanderung von der Pischa Talstation zur Pischa Bergstation mit meiner Frau. Dann noch etwas weiter bis zum Pischagrat P. 2593. Mehrheitlich sonnig. Mittagspause im Restaurant bei der Pischa Bergstation. Die Wanderung verlief mehrheitlich entlang dem Winterwanderweg, wobei wir doch einige Abkürzungen nahmen.
