Description

Hello, Hiking Buddies in Switzerland!

Here is my next proposed hike:

1) Route? -  Faido TI <-> Gola di Monte Piottino (Piottinoschlucht) <-> Rodi TI

2) Key data? - ca. 11-12 km, ~ 4-6 h, ~ 505 m up and down, medium pace, several drinking stops

3) When? - Sunday, 10.11., 9:30-20:30 o'clock

4) Transport? - IR 47 (Locarn/Zürich) with "Treno GGottardo Hit" individual tickets, no reservation

5) Departure? - 9:45 o'clock from platform 4

6) Costs? - 20 CHF for the ticket (please buy online here: https://unterwegs.sob.ch/de/stories/ciaoticino), xx CHF for coffee and snacks on the way

7) Guide? - Tall guy, glasses, blue backpack, red cap, olive trousers, green pullover

Attention! This route might be easy, but is not for absolute beginners. There is a lost section of the track, approximately 2 km, that we need to re-discover. Hence, we likely find unmarked terrain, woods and slopes. (The alternative is to go the offically route forth and back on your own, and meet us in the middle.) - If you are in for a little adventure, you are welcome!

Good to know

... before the trip:

  • Wear and bring with you comfortable clothing according to the weather and your needs. A light rain jacket is always recommended.
  • Especially, please wear proper boots for mountainous hiking trails (Cat. B or B/C). Light sneakers or city boots are not accepted!
  • Hiking poles are optional, but always recommended as there will be steep inclindes, too. Additionally, I recommend sunglasses and sunscreen always.
  • Also bring with you enough provisions (food and drinks) for the day. We usually prefer picnic over restaurants. There are some official driking wells on the way for refill, so bring a water bottle/cup!
  • Finally, please contact me directly here or via Telegram/Signal/Threema, if you have any questions. (Number/handle on request.)

... during the trip/hike:

  • Stay on the tracks as much as possible, respect flora and fauna, especially on the higher areas.
  • Stay together with the group. If you need a stop or fall behind, notice us immediately! Please avoid too many photo stops, as this will hold up the flow and risk the timing. We will do short breaks and one long break on selected spots or regular times.
  • Finally, please be on time especially for the departure. We have timely and fixed connections with public transport. Hence we can not wait for late arrivals or search for you during the change of transport.

Hey, folks. This hike will again be mixed with people of my Telegram hiking group. So expect more people to be there.

Hey, folks. Just an idea: How about we depart 2 h earlier, so at 7:45? To avoid darkness in the evening. - Thumbs up, if you would agree, thumb down to disagree.

hoi, Eva. Are you in the right part of train (to Locarno)? Can you try to see me, when I traverse the train? We have the group split in several wagons.
