Hikr-Treff 2016; the first Hikr meetup where I participate. Uncertain about how long the weather would remain stable, I decided to start hiking straight away upon arrival in Melchsee-Frutt on Saturday morning, and only meet up with the other Hikrs later on. Or maybe I would run into some of them on the mountain?

![Piz Fess (Chli Fess), Oberhorn, Piz Riein](https://f.hikr.org/files/2211451s.jpg)
The path from Tenna onto the Piz Fess is marked white-red-white. The markings are rather sparse, and often only there where the path is obvious anyway... Still, in good visibility, it's hard to go wrong.We had not expected many other hikers on the mountain. The ascent of 1250m is considerable and there is a crispy layer of snow...

![Klettersteig Mürren ("by fair means" from Lauterbrunnen)](https://f.hikr.org/files/2216807s.jpg)
From Lauterbrunnen, we follow the hiking path that climbs the cliffs on the west side of the valley in the direction of Mürren. The path stays in the forrest (where we get to observe some chamois) and away from the cliffs, so the views are limited to the occasional glimpse of Eiger and Mönch through the trees. Those glimpses are...

![Hexensteig + Seewli](https://f.hikr.org/files/2217424s.jpg)
The Hexensteig is a fun and somewhat mysterious via ferrata above Chilcherberge, which is reachable by an exiting ride in a small cable car from Silenen (limited free parking at the cable car, more parking near the church).
From the top station, we hike uphill in the direction of the Seewli, past an interesting shelter full of...

![Chapf + Margelchopf (NW ridge)](https://f.hikr.org/files/2220072s.jpg)
From last year's hike on Glannachopf, Chli Fulfirst and Gross Fulfirst, I already knew that the Werdenberg area is beautiful in autumn colours. This time, we start at Voralp, which we find almost completely deserted at this time of year. We hike up via Ingarnascht, Schlösslichopf and (tonguetwister!) Isisizsess to the Chapf. The...

We start our hike at the Brunnmettlenalp, reached by car on an unpaved road from the upper end of the Obersee. There is ample parking at the end of the public road at ca. 1175m. We continue on foot to Ahornen where we join the alpine route onto the Tierberg. At P. 1524 (signpost), there is choice between two different paths. We...

![Sisiger Spitz - Fronalpstock](https://f.hikr.org/files/2243882s.jpg)
When I called to book the Riemenstalden bus (www.riemenstalden.com), there seemed to be some surprise at the other end of the line that anybody would want to use the bus at all. Indeed, the conditions on the Lidernen side look pretty unsuitable for both hiking and skiing and the cable car is not in service. But we have our eye on...

![Guscha-Hochfinsler traverse](https://f.hikr.org/files/2248456s.jpg)
We had planned to drive to Cholschlag Vorsäss and start the hike there. However, unexpectedly, we find the road closed to normal traffic (at P. 917 when coming from Flums and at P. 774 when coming from Mels). I don't know if this is a permanent change, or if the road to Cholschlag is only open in summer? After some driving...

I joined Sputnik for a hike onto the Tschuggen, of which he already published his own report. Different from Sputnik, I also explored the Tschuggen south ridge and added and ascent of the Lauberhorn to my day.
The ascent of the Tschuggen via P. 2333 (nice photo spot) and the east ridge is relatively straight-forward. There...

Inspired by Bombo's report, we picked the Haldensteiner Calanda as an unusual hiking summit for mid-December.
We were able to drive all the way up to Vazer Alp, on the steep and mostly unpaved toll road from Untervaz. The toll can be paid by text message, as explained by a sign at the Untervaz village end. The process is easy...

The alpine hiking routes on Wageten, Brüggler and Chöpfenberg are rather popular and well-documented on Hikr. Therefore, this report mostly exists because of the photos, that showcase a fantastic atmosphere, with a mix of light clouds and sunshine. Moreover, we could witness a fascinating "inversion" of the snow line, with a...

It's been a while since I've "reported" on Hikr. After some travelling in South-East Asia over the New Year, I have been enjoying the Swiss winter, including a number of ski touring trips. I'm still a beginner at ski touring, though. I'm currently just doing the easy routes that have been describedon Hikrdozens of times already. I...

I got together a group of four hikers for a scramble on the Tomlishorn south west ridge (also sometimes known as "Tomlishorn south ridge" or "Tomligrat"). Representing Hikr, after she responded to my post in the "Treffpunkt" community, was Domino.
In 2009, ironknee had to write "der Südwestgrat des Tomlishorn ist auf hikr noch...

Long days and stable weather: perfect conditions for another after-work sunset hike.
We drive up to Mullernberg, where the restaurant is now permanently closed, so it's no problem to use the parking there. We hike up to the Hofalpli, where the ascent to the Fedensattel starts along the fence behind the alp buildings. There are...

After driving by car to Berghaus Palfries, madu, maenzgi and I set off towards the Chammegg route onto the Gauschla. After following the marked hiking path onto the crest, we walk up along the crest, first on an obvious path, which however gradually disappears as the terrain gets steeper. At ca. 2020m, we have to loop around the...
