This is a slow pace hike. (Slow Pace means 300/350m vertical ascent per hour ; 1km length in 30min)

- Hiking boots with a good grip
- Hiking poles if you have knee problems
- Multiple layers of clothes (inc. warm clothes)

Forecast for now is that it will be sunny…
Temperatures around +9 to +15 degrees.
Make sure you take some layers, as well as gloves and hat.
The path might be muddy at times, you might want to have poles.

Aiming to 10 including Laurence and I - but if necessary we will increase the number to include the waiting list (hard stop at 20).

The train at 7:10 from Zurich HB to Lucern has been canceled, according to SBB! We have to take the train at 6:35 to get there in time. Adjust your alarms!
