Dear participants, please be aware the route has changed slightly, more elevation gain. There is additional peak - Gulmen - planned. The avalanche situation for this one will be evaluated closer to the event date and also onsite.

Hey everyone, Sign-ups are first come, first served via the official list. If the hike is full, the waitlist applies. Thanks for keeping it fair for your fellow hikers! Looking forward to seeing you all on the trails! 😊⛰️

It seems so, something is wrong with the route: The Arvenbüel-Vorder Höhi part is doubled and the finish is on Vorder Höhi.

Hello everyone I plan to rent a pair of snowshoes at a shop just next to the bus station where we start. The shop closes at 5pm. Will we be there at 5 before the shop closes?

Hey everyone, I have checked in with the local tourism office on the avalanche risk today: Due to the new snow the risk above 800m is considerable. Means for us: 1) skipping a peak (s) 2) staying on the official route 3) keeping an open mind in terms of the route and rerouting if necessary (teamwork :) ) 4) in general using common sense 5) enjoying yourself and the hike

Goodies distribution will be happening at the parking next to the bus station: https://maps.app.goo.gl/KVQQRW1t7Uwuk4cc9 (hopefully there's free spot). There'll be warm jackets as well for the day, please take one for having branded pictures to share with Arc'teryx.
