Cross-Country Season 2025/26 — Gantrisch

With the first snowfall, the Gantrisch once again transforms into a quiet, wide-open winter landscape — the perfect setting for the 2025/26 cross-country season. Freshly groomed trails lead through snowy forests and gentle hills, about 1600m asl. Every kilometre is an invitation to breathe deeply, find your rhythm and feel the calm of nature. Whether […]

Vanil Noir Ridge – Double Ascent ^^

12.11.2025 – The Vanil Noir ridge delivered one of my most memorable trail running experiences to date – stunning and treacherous in equal measure. The snow-covered west-hang demanded full concentration with every step. I encountered numerous chamois navigating the steep terrain with effortless grace, and caught glimpses of wild birds soaring against the dramatic Alpine […]

Val Grande National Park – The last Wilderness of the Alps

Val Grande National Park – From Val Vigezzo to Monte Togano 28.10.2025 – I started my hike in the quiet Val Vigezzo valley, surrounded by the Italian mountain scent. The trail led me deep into Val Grande National Park, a place that truly feels wild and forgotten. As I climbed higher, I passed old stone […]

Piz Sesvenna 3204m ^ & Piz Umbrail 3033m ^

Over the last few days, I have trailed two more three-thousand-metre peaks. First up was Piz Sesvenna. A magnificent hike with a dreamlike backdrop. One day later, it was time for the relatively short Piz Umbrail. Here, too, I was rewarded with a fantastic view of the nearby 3,000-metre peaks of South Tyrol and Switzerland.

Another 3000m Trail ⋀

14.10.2025 – This time, I started early in the morning from Saas-Almagell. Surrounded by the vibrant colors of autumn, I made my way toward the Mittaghorn, which rises 3,143 meters above sea level. The view is phenomenal, as mighty 4,000-meter peaks surround you. The descent led me toward Saas-Fee, where the golden autumn greeted me […]

Another Great Trail in Wallis

7.10.2025 – I started in the late morning in Grignols, surrounded by quiet alpine meadows. The trail rose steadily, I passed above Saflischpass toward the Fülhorn, revealing wide views over the Simplon area and the distant glacier peaks. From there, I continued to the Folluhorn – a wilder, more rugged summit where silence and wind […]

Les Dents du Midi – A Swiss Landmark

2.10.2025 – From Champéry to the Haute Cime – My Journey into the seven Dents du Midi I set out from Champéry early in the morning, the village still quiet, the peaks of the Dents du Midi glowing in the first light. The trail rose quickly through forest and pasture, pulling me higher into the […]

Trails, Trails, Trails…

This summer, I continued to trail several high Swiss mountains, especially three-thousanders. Each one left its own mark on and for me. The Punta Terra Rossa/Wasenhorn (3’246m) greeted me with its warm, red stone and the feeling of stepping into another world. The view of Monte Leone and the other three and four-thousanders was breathtaking.On […]
