Scheideggstock
Started this hike after lunch at Untertrübsee. Walked the paved road to Haltenhütte. Once past Haltenhütte, we found a marked trail, which we followed to a junction with "Scheidegg" painted on a rock. At 1,900m the trail got faint;managed to spot a few more fading trail markers before giving up and heading straight up to the...

Rigi
From the top station of the Urmiberg Bahn (cash only!), I followed trails west to Rigi Kulm. Trails were very well developed and signed; the only slightly rougher section was the detour over Gottertli (I skipped Rigi Hochflue, followed the road below instead). No big crowds until Rigi Kulm, but still plenty of space in the...

Munt la Schera
Followed a counter-clockwise loop starting at P5, Alp la Schera, the summit of Munt la Schera, Buffalora and back to the start. No obstacles or snow on the trail. Wildflowers were in full bloom (incl some Edelweiss), and there was some wildlife out (a rock ptarmigan and a chamois, but no marmots, despite the plentiful burrows)....

Brienzer Rothorn
Started from the Sörenberg Talstation at 10:00. There was still plenty of space, but the parking lot was filling up fast. Followed the route described in this trip report. Had to ignore signs for the Brienzer Rothorn via other routes several times. No issues with the trail otherwise; some slightly exposed spots I'd avoid in...

Stäfeli - Fürenalp
Got dropped off at the parking lot at the end of the toll road (CHF 5) at 11:30. Followed the trail past Alpenrösli and Stäfeli. Stopped for lunch at a viewpoint above the Stäuber waterfall. Continued to Fürenalp for desert, and took the cable car back down. The bus stop at the cable car station was closed, but it was just a...

Wasserfall - Dagenstall - Fürenalp
Started out at the trailhead near the Wasserfall restaurant at 10am. The trail was clear up to the bridge over the Tätschbach, and patches of soft snow after that. There was only one, short section of the trail that was somewhat problematic (narrow and exposed, hard snow, handrails not installed yet). Did a short trip up along...

Walenpfad
Followed the "Walenpfad" signs from the Ristis chairlift station to Rosenbold, Walenalp, Walegg, Oberfeld, and down to the cable car station at the Bannalpsee. The best views were at Walegg. The restaurants at Walenalp and Oberfeld both looked inviting. The trail was in great condition. The spectacular, exposed trail between...

Titlis from Engelberg
Headed up to the Trübsee station from Engelberg via Bänklialp and Gerschnialp. Despite the late start (after 9am), most of the trail was still in the shade. The trail was also in great condition--apart from a short section above Gerschnialp that had been turned to mud by cattle. From the Trübsee station I followed the...

Wissigstock
Started in Engelberg at 7:00. The trail was in great condition with some mud above Rugghubelhütte and a few centimeters of hard snow above Engelberger Lücke (used microspikes but didn't bother with gaiters). The trail above Rugghubelhütte wasn't obvious but was well marked. Didn't encounter anyone on the trail on the way up...

Surenenpass
Started at Fürenalp around 9:00. There was some fresh snow, but the trail was clear until Blackenalp. Several centimeters of (quickly melting) snow above that; was glad to have gaiters and hiking poles for descending through the slush on the other side of the pass. Encountered few people on the trail -- just two parties upon...

Spannorthütte
Decided to check out the Spannorthütte while having lunch at the Stäfeli. The trail was steep (and perhaps not the best place to be on the hot afternoon with a full stomach...) but well marked. Met just one person on the way up, and the custodian at the hut (who mentioned she might be leaving soon due to the forecast snow)....

Pilatus
Started at the cable car station in Kriens just as the first light hit the summit. The trail up to Fräkmüntegg wasn't too interesting, and quite steep from Fräkmüntegg up to the Klimsenkapelle and Pilatus-Kulm. I was glad the trail was clear of snow and not too wet. Didn't see a lot of people on this trail. Passed...
