Hiking in Switzerland EP 15: Stoos Ridge Trail - Klingenstock to Fronalpstock Panoramic Hike
The Stoos Ridge Hike between Klingenstock (1,935 m) and Fronalpstock (1,921 m) is one of Switzerland's most popular ridge trails.
This is all for good reasons; the landscape is amazing, the trail is nicely maintained and not overly difficult, and the trailhead is easily accessible.
No wonder it is such a popular hike, even in a region full of great hikes like Lake Lucerne.
Here's the full hiking guide for this trail, and several more photos::

Hiking in Switzerland EP 14: Hiking to the Steingletscher, with drone video
Просмотров 3105 месяцев назад
The Steingletscher is a beautiful glacier in the canton of Bern, right above the Sustenpass. This is a rather hard hike, mostly on a T4 difficulty trail with lots of unstable rocks and some steep sections that require minor scrambling. What's so special about this glacier is how close you can get to its beautiful crevasses without having to walk on the glacier itself. Here's the full hike repor...
Hiking in Switzerland EP 13: Overnight in the Alps with a random hiking Sheepdog - Bernese Oberland
Просмотров 1706 месяцев назад
This happened a couple of years ago. I had planned to spend the night high up in the Alps, to visit the Mattenalpsee and the Gaulisee in the Bernese Oberland. On my way up the mountain, I met a very friendly sheepdog, who, for some reason, decided to tag along on this hike. The dog followed me even up very steep sections of the trail that required scrambling. Slept by my bivouac at night. The f...

    • @thephotohikes
      @thephotohikes Месяц назад

      Thanks Rob! Yes, the view of the Aletsch glacier from there is amazing. I started this hike in Fiescheralp. It's a 16.4km loop hike with a total elevation gain of 890m. Apart from the length, this hike is moderately difficult, meaning there are no scrambling, steep, or exposed sections. You can reach Fiescheralp with a cable car from Fiesch, do the loop, and once back in Fiescheralp you can take the cable car to the Eggishorn, or hike up there. You could also do the same loop from Bettmeralp, but there are two cable cars to take and it's considerably more expensive. Anyway, in the description there's a link to the detailed report of the hike, how to get there, and an embedded Komoot map from where you can download the GPX file of this hike if you want to do the same loop. Feel free to let me know in case of any other questions!

    The road to Haifoss is not marked and my GPS directed us on a very rough road that scared us. we were not alone because other drivers also were confused how to reach Haifoss. So we never got there, a pity.

    • @thephotohikes

      Thanks for the comment, Tom. It's an unmarked track indeed. I haven't been there in a couple of years now. Since then the road likely deteriorated even further due to traffic.

    • @thephotohikes
      @thephotohikes 7 месяцев назад

      Thanks Jordan! Maybe; it really depends on how much snow and ice there will be at that time. You would have to cross a small ravine half way through the hike I'd imagine that would be the most difficult part. You can always try and turn back if the trail is too sketchy, but it would be best to have some microspikes or a pair of Yaktrax just for extra safety. Hope this helps, enjoy the trip!
