Over the Easter weekend, we hiked the “Three Waterfalls Trail” in the Bernese Oberland. At 17 km, and about 775 m elevation gain, (plus more depending on how much exploring you do around each waterfall to get the best views), it is a long hike, but lovely hike.
-
We continued our hike-through of the Trans Swiss Trail (Route 2) and hiked stage 2 (Length 17 km, Ascent 260 m, Descent 220 m) form St-Ursanne to Soubey.
-
Stage 1 of Trans Swiss Trail – Route 2 is 17 km long with 600 m of ascent and 600 m of descent.
-
Stage 2 of the Zürich-Zugerland Panorama Trail (length 21 km, ascent 380 m, descent 760 m) continues along the Albis Ridge going past the Ablis Horn before heading down to Baar and on to Zug.
-
Stage 1 of Zürich-Zugerland Panorama Trail (Trail 47) is 13 km long with 700 m of ascent and 400 m of descent. It includes a hike up to the top of Uetliberg, the highest local point overlooking Zürich, followed by a hike along the Albis Ridge.
-
Stage 10 (length 11 km, ascent 190 m, descent 320 m) is also the final stage of the Zürichsee-Rundweg.
-
Stage 9 (length 8 km, ascent 260 m, descent 150 m) took us from Meilen to Küsnacht.
-
We completed stage 8 – Stäfa to Meilen (length 12 km, ascent 340 m, descent 380 m).
-
Back on the trail with stage 7 of the Zürichsee-rundweg hike (length 14 km, ascent 380 m, descent 320 m). The panorama views on stage 7 were some of the best views so far.
-
I have returned to my quest to complete the Zürichsee-Rundweg with stage 6 – Schmerikon to Rapperswil. SAt only 11 kilometers and 70 meters of elevation gain, it was not a particularly challenging hike, but it did make for an excellent afternoon walk.
-
The Limmat Culture Trail (length 9 km, ascent 100 m, descent 100 m) is a loop trail along the Limmat river between Wettingen and Baden. Along the trail are 27 contemporary art installations by Swiss artists.
-
Woohoo! We made it through stage 5 of the Zürichsee-Rundweg Trail and we are now at the half-way point. At 23 km (ascent 420 m, descent 400 m), this stage was a bit of challenge and while it wasn’t my favorite stage so far, it was still pretty fun.
