Foot awareness 👣 barefoot shoes

I’m a passionate runner and hiker. For me, my feet are sacred. They are an integral part of my body, connecting me to the earth. I had given them special attention since I started running, especially since I began wearing barefoot shoes throughout the day in 2019.Vivo barefoot shoes are my preferred shoes, as they […]

Gantrisch – Soft ground peppered with beautiful peaks

29.10.2023 – Another trail – another highlight between alpine lakes and some of the highest alpine mountains such as Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. In other words, in-between 500m asl and around 4’000m asl. The atmosphere was, as so often, special on the Gantrisch. Autumn showed itself in its full bloom. The trail started on the […]

Engadin – Swiss National Park & God da Staz

12/13/14.10.2023 – Three golden days – This golden fall season is just breathtaking. The dance of the trees, of the colours and animals – Wooooaaaah! Some high-lights: Val Trupchun, Val Müschauns, Fuorcla Val Sassa, Val Sassa, Val Cluozza, Zernez

Bern – Valais – Bern

8.10.2023 – Another 3’000m asl hike – Arpelistock. The landscape looks very special, partly like Mars and Moon ;-). Furthermore, you will see wild animals from the Himalayas – the Yaks. It was so beautiful and with a golden finish at the Lake Louenen – Just WoW!

From Ticino to Uri – Highest continental divide in Europe

2.10.2023 – This is a one-day hike that has a lot to reveal. The Gotthard massif is home to the highest triple continental divide in Europe, 3’025m asl. At this point, precipitation separates into three major rivers: the Rhine, the Rhone and the Po. This was my trail: Villa Bedretto (Val Bedretto) – Passo di […]

Rätikon

30.9.2023 – Via Ferrata mixed with hiking. The atmoshpere was brilliant. Sulzfluh is one of the beautiful corners of Switzerland, on the border with Austria. These karrenfelds are amazing! From Partnun to Partnun lake and then up to Sulzfluh and then via Tilisunahütte ÖAV back to Partnun

Four springs trail surrounded by the myth & legend of the Gotthard

24-25.9.2023 – Crossing the cantons of Uri, Ticino and Grisons was an awe-inspiring adventure. Nothing compares with this tough and rough environment. So many beautiful pristine Alpine lakes and you feel you standing at the source of something great. The Gotthard Massif is a living source. You are at the source of four rivers: the […]

Deep in the canton of Uri

17.9.2023 – URI – Another hike – another adventure – another stunning day. This time between Wassen (who does not know the famous “Chileli of Wassen”?) and Göschenen (the gateway to the Gotthard massif!). I have chosen the following route: Wassen – Chli See – Gross See – Lang See – Rohrplatten – Bandlücke – […]

Uri & Unterwalden

7.-8.9.2023 – This was another two-day hike, one of the most inspiring ever. I was in a complete dream-like state from the beginning till the end. Such beauty I have seldom so deeply felt. Words cannot adequately convey the depth of emotions I experienced on this hike. I was filled with overwhelming feelings of happiness […]

Bernese Oberland

31.8-3.9.2023 – There are two fantastic hiking routes to explore – the first is a trail along the Sigriswiler ridge that leads up to the top peak Sigriswiler Rothorn. The second route takes you through the Justistal and up along the Güggis ridge, passing by Gemmenalphorn and Burgfeldstand before reaching the Niederhorn. Both trails offer […]
