Via Engiadina, Stage 1
Via Engiadina, Stage 1: Maloja – Silvaplana. Really pretty hike past two lakes and through a couple small Engadine villages. 14km, 668m ascent, 4h11m, 17°C ☀️
Stanserhorn switchbacks
These switchbacks in the second half of the Stanserhorn hike were just brutal on a warm day: unrelentingly up with almost no shade.
Stanserhorn hike
Hiked the Stanserhorn yesterday: 10.1km, 1383m ascent, 3h:28m, 26°C, 🌤. Only my second time for this hike and it was a tough one (for me), but so beautiful; especially the final bit along the ridge.
Mattstock hike
Hiked up the Mattstock from Amden: 9.88km, 1013m ascent, 3h43m, 6°C ☁️. Summer in Switzerland; we even got some flakes of snow and pellets of hail.
Rigi Kulm hike
Morning hike: Kräbel–Rigi Kulm. This was a new route for me and it’s a keeper. 2h38m, 7.6km, 1010m ascent, 15°C ☁️
Snow on Lake Ägeri

Blue sky
Today was a perfect sunny day to be out on the snow. Finally a bit of blue sky!
Bad weather
Less than ideal conditions for today’s snowshoe hike, but at least I got out and back before the bad weather really set in.
Snowshoe vista
Today was my fourth consecutive day of going snowshoeing, but the first day where I could actually see the mountains.
