In case you cannot join the hike, drop out more than 12h before the start.

General information

This hike is not suitable for beginners. A good fitness level is required.

I have never done this hike before but google "Diethelm Fluebrig" and you will definitely need to do it as well.

Weather: Sunny.

Route: mostly T2, with an optional T4 section (10 min Alpinerweg with a ladder and chains to reach the Diethelm peak, 2'099m. Take a look at the videos in internet).

Pace: Medium pace (400 m/h), for which you won't have any problem if you're doing sports regularly, in order to be back at the indicated time. 

Meeting point: Studen SZ, Ochsenboden (bus stop).

Schedule (approx.)

• Carpool meeting time: if you are joining a car, check the info provided by your driver in the Carpool page.
• 09h35: Starting point (see exact location above). I start walking at that time precisely, not waiting for latecomers.
• 12h45 - 13h30: top, this means Turner and/or Diethelm (optional). During the ascent to and especially the descent from the Diethelm through the T4 section I will assist you, absolutely no hurry
• 13h30: Start going down
• 16h00 - 16h30: previous starting point

Gear

Mandatory: Hiking boots with good grip, warm clothes and wind stopper, food and enough water for during the hike. There is no restaurant at the top or along the route

Highly recommended: hiking poles

Optional: gloves would be helpful, if you intend to do the T4 section to the Diethelm peak, otherwise with bare hands is still doable 

Important rules

 Applying to my events:

• No waiting for latecomers. Now it's autumn, I don't intend to walk after the sunset.
• No waiting for too slow participants. Now it's autumn, I don't intend to walk after the sunset.
• This time I don't want to have a big group.
• I am allowed to exclude participants.

Applying to Hiking Buddies:

• Unjoining allowed until 12 hours before the start of the event.
• No show causes a negative feedback on your profile.
• The organizer is no professional guide. Participants are responsible for themselves, must do their own research about the route, and must be able to navigate by themselves (in case the groups split for some reason, for example).

Transportation

This is a carpool event, possibly combined with people coming by public transports. Anyone else with a car can add it via the Carpool button at the top of this page.

If you join by public transports, see the guidelines further down. From Zürich HB:

I will reach the meeting point by car. Contact me for car pooling. Depending on the number of free spots in my car, I can pick you up/bring you back to Einsiedeln, for instance.
