Piz Albana (3100 m)
Inspired by the hike reports from ivo66, I wanted to visit Piz Albana. The weather was perfect, and it was really a nice hike. The view from the summit was magnificent! Surprisingly there were 4-5 other hikers who visited Piz Albana on the same day, but they had left the summit when I got up there, so I had it all for myself. I...

Across Lenzer Horn (2906 m)
In this hike to Lenzer Horn (2906 m), I went up from Lenzerheide to Alp Sanaspans, bringing my mountain bike along. Then I left the bike behind, and followed the white-blue-white marked trail to the summit. Afterwards I descended a bit on the east ridge, and realized that a descent on the south-east ridge would be feasible....

Piz Curvér (2972 m) from Sars
My first hike to Piz Curvér. The weather forecast had predicted sunny conditions, but in the morning it was all overcast with patches of fog. In the afternoon it was a mix of sun and clouds. I started this hike at the Sars parking lot at elevation 1800 m, and followed the marked hiking trail in direction Ziteil. After reaching...

Piz Toissa (2657 m) and Curvér Pintg da Taspegn
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...

Piz Mirutta (2604 m) from Bargis
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...

Stätzer Horn (2575 m) and a few other peaks near Lenzerheide
After so many rainy days it was nice to go hiking in perfect weather again! On this hike I basically followed the ridge from Crap la Pala via Piz Scalottas, Piz Danis, and Stätzer Horn to Fulenberg. The panoramic view to other nearby mountains was absolutely fantastic! I spotted a few animals (a deer, numerous marmots, and...

Ofen (2873 m) and Piz Grisch (2898 m)
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...

Parpaner Rothorn, Ostgipfel (2899 m) from Lenzerheide
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,...

Bike & hike to Piz Linard (2768 m) on December 27th!
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...

Muttenstock (3089 m) - bike & hike from Brigels
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...

Unnamed peak P.3096 - bike & hike from 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,...

Piz da Sterls 3114 m - bike & hike
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,...

5 peaks hike around Crap Mats
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...

Hike from Flims to Piz Grisch/Laaxer Stöckli (2898 m)
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...

Hike to Piz Segnas (3099 m) and Piz Sardona (3056 m)
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...

I followed the trail past...

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...

Bike & hike: Piz Dado (2699 m) and Piz Dadens (near the summit)
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...
