SAC Toggenburg was arranging a similar 2-day tour on the 23rd, but I could not join, so I though to do this in one day, since the weather was good. I decided to cross the whole mountain plain of Flumseberg. To me it seemed doable: about 1500m of climb and 20km of distance, so somewhat less than marathon in total effort. I took...

I am a professor in AI at the university of Neuchatel, but I live in St. Gallen.
I like doing various mountain activities, and am happiest trail running T2-T3 trails or walking on T4 (max T5). I also like doing easy (WT3) snowshoeing and ski touring (L), hopefully some alpine tours soon.
Currently also trying to have my kids more often with me in the mountains.
