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 […]
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.
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]

The tour starts at the Simmenfälle (1,100 m) above Lenk, where the Simme river cascades down in multiple steps. From here, the trail climbs steadily through forest and alpine pastures to the Flueseeli and on toward the Flueseeli plateau (~2,000 m). The landscape quickly changes from green meadows into rock and scree. Above ~2,500 m, […]
The second part of the Södra Kungsleden, running from Sälen to Flötningen, covers roughly 145 kilometers and took us seven days to complete, including some detours. Compared to the Storlien–Grövelsjön stretch, this section is wilder, more solitary, and less frequented, which gives it a distinctly remote character. The trail follows the Scandinavian mountain range northwards […]
