Description

This hike is not suitable for beginners. A good fitness level is required. Not fit hikers can join it by taking the cable car from Kies to Mettmenalp during the way up and overcome in this way 560m elevation (https://elm.ch/de/elm-ferienregion/ausflugsorte/mettmen-alp/luftseilbahn-kies-mettmen.html).

Weather: Sunny and warm

Webcam: https://www.bergfex.ch/elm/webcams/c19940/

Route: T2/T3, the snow limit is at about 1'000m (https://whiterisk.ch/de/conditions/snow-maps/snow_depth), this means that we will have to do about 600m elevation on the snow. I expect the path to be partially slippery and muddy.

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: Schwanden GL, train station.

Schedule (approx.)

  • Carpool meeting time: if you are joining a car, check the info provided by your driver in the Carpool page.
  • 09h00: Starting point (see exact location above).
  • 12h45 - 13h30: top, this means Mettmen - Garichtisee
  • 13h30: Start going down
  • 16h00 - 16h30: previous starting point

Gear

Hiking boots with good grip, hiking poles, dress in layers, sunscreen, food and enough water for during the hike. There is a restaurant at Mettmen - Garichtisee.

Important rules

 Applying to my events:

  • No waiting for too slow participants. But don't worry, the cable car will allow you to reach the Mettmenalp - Garichtisee and join the group on top.
  • 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:
