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

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 Cavanna – Ronggergrat – Hüenderstock – Witenwasserenstock – Rotondohütte SAC – Witenwasseren – Realp

It was a fabulous hike – 1 day hike felt like 1 week holiday. Thank you so so much!

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 Rhine, Reuss, Ticino and Rhone. Here history was and is made.

When you cross the canton of Ticino from Uri, you smell the Southern scent. The four cantons fit together like a puzzle. My overwhelming route was:

1st day: Realp – Gatscholalücke/Passo d’Orsirora – Laghi d’Orsirora – Passo del San Gottardo – Lago dell Sella – Giübin – Vermigelhütte

2nd day: Vermigelhütte – Pass Maighels – Passo Bornengo – Valletta del Mottone – Cappanna Cadlimo CAS – Lago Scuro – Lago di Tom – Lago Ritom – Piora

One of my most beautiful 2-day hikes ever! Thank you Uri, Ticino and Graubünden!

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 and gratitude. Every moment seemed to bring a new highlight, making it feel like a two-week vacation rather than just a two-day hike. I feel incredibly blessed to have had this experience. I’m so so blessed! – Thank you!

And this was the treck:

1st day: From Isenthal Post along the Chlital up to Gietisflue and over Rinderstöckli up to Gitschen (~ 2500m asl) – One of my favourite places! Further down to Musenalp, up to Sassigrat, down to Biwaldalp and Bösenboden, then up again to Hinter Alp, via Engelberger Egg and over Rot Grätli to Rugghubel Hut – my sleeping place.

2nd day: From Rugghubel Hut up to Engelberger Rotstock ~2800m asl (cloudy), via Engelberger Lücke further to Wissigstock ~2900m asl, then again to Engelberger Rotstock (sunny), then over Rot Grätli to Bannalp, around Walenstöcke respectively along the Walenpfad to Brunnihütte, and finally down to Engelberg.

Thank you Uri, thank you Obwalden, thank you Nidwalden – it was a heartopening adventure!

24.08.2023 – It was perhaps one of my most enjoyable day trails I have ever done! It was truly a spectacle of impressions and emotions. First to kick off at dawn with a sunny forecast. This atmosphere, this silence and sounds of nature – impressive. Then these views and these scents, indescribable! So many different shapes and colours of Alpine lakes! From deep blue to turqoise to transparent! Between mountains and valleys, between heights and depths, in the water castle of Switzerland, of Europe – speechless!

This mountainous landscape is serene and clean, yet it also left me feeling drained and at peace.

This was my route (I had around 5-6 hours): Arnisee – Sunniggrätli – Ruchälplistock – Jakobiger – Leidsee – Leutschachhütte – Leitschachtal – Wichelpass – Wichelhorn – Schindlachtal – Schindlachtalhütte – Arnisee.

I have been trail running and hiking for years in Switzerland and am continually surprised by this heartwarming landscape!
