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 ☀️
First SUP of 2022
Filled up the SUP and got it on the water for the first time this year. Paddled to the next village over on the lake to hear a concert and have dinner and then paddled back. Perfect Saturday evening.
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.
