Rigi Scheidegg hike
Morning hike, Rigi Scheidegg: 9km, 950m ascent, 3h10m, 17°C. Hardest hike I’ve done in a year. Beautiful walk through forest and then meadows.
Wirzweli hike
Morning hike, Wirzweli: 4.3km, 630m ascent, 1h45m, 17°C. Short but fairly steep. Pretty hike although you don’t get the views until the end. We went early so that we could go down in an empty gondola. 😷
Niederrickenbach hike
Training hike, Niederrickenbach: 5.1km, 640m ascent, 2h, 17°C. Short but relatively steep. We bought local sheep milk cheese at the top and then took the gondola down (our first use of public transportation since COVID happened— there was one other passenger, we all wore masks).
Neuheim sky
Sun rays peeping through the clouds over Neuheim (there should have been a heavenly choir vocalizing)
Josefsgütsch hike
Training hike, Josefsgütsch and around the Baarburg: 8.3km, 270m ascent, 2h10m, 18°C. Easy but pleasant walk through forest and farm fields. Rain threatened but never materialized.
Hochwacht view
Today’s view from the Hochwacht (normally you can see two lakes)
Hochwacht hike
Second training hike, on a rainy day— Zugerberg Hochwacht: 8.3km, 300m ascent, 2h10m, 12°C.
Panzerweg footbridge
During our hike today we crossed this dilapidated footbridge. I think this part of the trail isn’t used much!
Zugerberg hike
Time to get back in shape! First training hike was to go up the Zugerberg: 7.4km, 400m ascent, 2h20m, 13°C. Nice forested walk with some partial views of Lake Zug.
