It was a sunny, early morning in May 2020 when we hiked up the Fürstein Mountain (2040m) which you can reach in approx. 30 min by car from Lucerne.

Circle Hike around Wald – Switzerland
Some days ago, we (few friends and I) did a short 2-3 hours trip close to Wald (Canton Zurich) – roughly 8 km with 400 meters up and down. I have been in this area already some weeks ago doing the Hiking around Steg – Switzerland it has a lot to offer so I’m pretty sure I will return again.
Hiking the Jurapark – Switzerland
We caught a perfect sunny day when we went out for a hike in the Jurapark recently. Just 40 minutes from Zurich, the Jurapark has plenty to offer in case you intend to start hiking early in the year and you want to prevent getting on still snowy & wet trails in the Alps.
Hiking around Steg – Switzerland
Some weeks ago in February 2020 we did a dayhike close to Steg in the valley of the Töss River. This is roughly 30 min away from Zurich and again it was an amazing trip with great views and perfect spots to have have some delicious food while watching the (still) snowy Alps. This is a trip that can be easily made during early spring in case the snow situation allows it.
Hiking the Viamala Gorge
The Viamala Hike we did some weeks ago was amazing – delivering exactly what various reports have promised. It’s definitely recommended – and not crowded at all except for the main part where you need to pay an entry fee (4 CHF / person).
Hiking Up the Mittagflue
The weather forecast was not very promising – but we still got up early and did the circle over the “Mittagflue” peak close to the town of Wimmis, Switzerland. It was worth it – even with quite bad weather conditions, the hike was amazing and I cannot imagine how great the views must be with sunny weather.
Jaunpass – Climbing up the snowy Bäderhorn
We had a couple of hours left before the dark was supposed to set in – hence, we decided to climb the snowy peak of the Bäderhorn in a couple of hours. It ended up a little bit more complicated than we thought.
