It was probably one of the last sunny days in summer 2021 so I spontaneously decided to climb the Schiberg peak (2044m) located at the border between canton Schwyz and Glarus.

When I’m alone on the trail I need to properly pace myself or I will regret it at a later stage. The climb up to the peak (2044m) from the Wägitalersee (900m) is announced with 3 hours – then more or less additional 2-3 hours for doing the circuit and descend down to the lake. I did it both in under 4 hours which was at least for me way too fast. So my body complained, but each meter was worth it.

The climb is constantly going up while passing some alpine huts. After the peak, you go along the ridge towards the Bockmattlistock before you descend down again. The ridge seems to be quite complicated when snow is around.
