Apple Watch Fall detection

I managed to trigger the fall alert on my Apple Watch during my hike today when I tangled the snow chains on one boot with the shoelace hooks on the other boot and promptly fell over (I’m fine).

Kleine Scheidegg – Grindelwald hike

Winter hike: Kleine Scheidegg – Alpiglen – Brandegg – Grindelwald Grund, 10.4km, 18m ascent / 1,132m descent, 2°C ☀️ with a stop for lunch at Alpiglen. Fantastic weather again. Pity I have to work tomorrow.

Männlichen – Kleine Scheidegg hike

Winter hike: Männlichen to Kleine Scheidegg, 6.5km, 272m ascent/433m descent, 2h, 1°C ☀️. Beautiful hike on a glorious day. Most of the times we’ve come here in winter the weather has been miserable.

A rare sunny winter day in Ägeri

Yesterday was a relatively rare sunny day in winter and it was beautiful.

Panoramaweg Ägerital

Panoramaweg Ägerital: 27.7km, 997m ascent/descent, 6h44m, 7°C 🌥️. Our feet were killing us but we made it all the way around the lake and back home. I set all kinds of records on my watch today.

Panoramaweg attempt

I have one more day off before I return to work on Tuesday. I’m going to try to hike the entire panorama trail around our valley in one go. I’m not sure the exact distance but it’ll be in the range of 28-32km. I don’t think I’ve ever hiked more than 20km in a day.
