The weather was perfect, the temperatures as well. So nothing to worry about? Well, yes and no. I was using the prefect scenery to play around with my little new toy as I would like to take it with me…
This night I had booked the best chairs for the evening show! Unbelievable! Lot of space for your feet, no person in front of you which keeps sliding from left to right and blocks the view to the screen and…
This weekend was one of the rare occasions when the weather was flawless for a couple of days. And the temperatures were more than acceptable. Initially I had two different ideas but soon decided to go do Engadin to see…
Regardless of how you turn it around, autumn is coming and together with it the fantastic colours which makes it my favourite season of the year. The problem this weekend was that the weather forecast was pretty inconsistent. So I…
Why miss a nice sunset if there is an opportunity? Initially I had different plans. But when I was approaching the mountains by car I could see that the recently fallen snow had not been melted by the sun and…
After not having done anything meaningful for two weeks my body and mind was asking for something, something which makes the difference between a weekend to forget and something worth remembering. As the weather hasn’t recovered from the “let’s do…
What started as a nothing-special-to-mention weekend turned out to be rather exiting, exiting both in terms of what happened and challenges to overcome them … As the weather was once again uncertain in the northern part of Switzerland and…
This weekend I went to my hut in Arni. Initially I just wanted to do an easy hike to the “Sunny Ridge” but since my friend showed big interest in doing something more we switched to the iconic Ruchälplistock hike….
Sometimes things go as planed. Sometimes the plan doesn’t work out. And sometimes there is not even a plan and something spontaneous happens. I would say that my the last weekend had something of all those components but nevertheless or…
Yeah, “Going South” was the key to success this weekend. The weather forecast for the north was kind of undecided with rain and other obstacles, so south was the direction. As I don’t have a good hiking guide for Ticcino…
I had plans! Good plans. Solid and proven plans for 1. August, the national holiday: Take it easy and get ready for the party in the evening. Eventually I figured out that doing an e-a-s-y walk up to Pilatus would…
As the weather was getting better and better I decided on Friday to go for a two day’s hike on the weekend. The idea of it was to get into a good position on Friday, stay there for the night…
On Friday I wasn’t in the right mood to do some planning for a weekend activity so I decided to just hang around and not do anything meaningful. That do-nothing plan still looked perfectly doable on Saturday morning when I…
As the weather forecast was kind of mixed for the weekend I decided to have an easy and relaxing weekend in my hut in Arni. Easy and relaxing? Sure! No crazy 10+h walks in steep terrain. When I made the…
Yes, this is absolutely true: WHERE THE SUN SHINES … My reddish legs can confirm that an a substantial overexposure to sunlight happened … damn … But let’s start from the beginning. As I was helping a fried of mine…
As it was going to be the last day of the week with nice weather I called it a day very early and headed to the Wägitaler Lake. Wägitaler Lake? Yeah, nobody will know. It is a small lake and…
This weekend I was going to my hut in Arni in order to dodge any potential heat wave in Zurich and of course to also relax. I also wanted to do some hiking. Since the heat in the last days…
After my pretty long hike on the weekend my sport watch was telling me to take it easy for 37h. 37 hours? Seriously? I didn’t know that I am in such a bad shape. Ok, I have to admit that…
