Route: The route is an easy hike with no difficulties - automated T4 calculation is wrong.

Pace: Medium pace - All longer uphills / downhills can be skipped with chair lifts

Meeting point:  Stöckalp, bus station - 09h20

Transportation: The starting time (09h20) makes it possible to take a train from Zürich 07h10 to Luzern - then direction Interlaken to Sarnen. From there bus to Stöckalp, then cabins up to Melchsee-Frutt.

To do before the hike

• The day of the hike AND one hour before the hike, come have a look at the comments at the bottom of this page to know about potential last minute updates.
• Prior to the hike, please download the GPX file and have it imported in a GPS application on your phone. See my Facebook post about GPS apps. You can download the file from this event page.
  

Known bug: Make sure the file you have downloaded has a .gpx extension. If not, just rename it, as it might happen that you get a ".gpx.xml" file instead of just ".gpx" when downloading from a phone.

Schedule (approx.)

• 9h45: We start hiking
• 11h30: Lunchbreak & Bath in Engstensee
• 15h30: Another swim in the Trüebsee

Gear

Hiking shoes, picknick, sun cream plus whatever else you need for a good day in the mountains. Swimming clothes to take a bath in Engstlensee or/and Trüebsee

Additional notes

• Out of respect for the others, please be on time. My events usually start exactly at the indicated time.
• Some of the hikes I organize (not necessary this one - that's just a copy paste) may require experience / minimum pace, in which case I might need to contact you. Please keep an eye on your emails.

A few things about Hiking Buddies platform:

• 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).
• Unjoining allowed until 12 hours before the start of the event.
• If you have a No Show in your profile ( = you did not show up to a hike you signed up to in the past), I may exclude you from the event
