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

General information

Meeting point: Katholische Kirche Maria-Hilf https://goo.gl/maps/REvLMAdrpq76VYne7

Starting time: 09h00 am precisely. That is the starting time, meaning you'd better arrive at least 5 minutes earlier.

Weather: Cloudy, muddy. No spikes required, but if you have you can bring just in case.

Route: Mostly in the woods, some steep parts, but nothing exposed. A good alternative to Uetliberg.

Pace / fitness level: Open to everyone, it's short.

Transportation: Everyone goes to the meeting point on their own (I'm coming by bike).

Schedule (approximately)

• 09h00: Start hiking.
• 10h00: Top
• 11h00: Finish

Gear

Mandatory: Proper hiking boots (or trail running shoes) with a good grip, warm clothes.

See here an exhaustive check list of gear for single day hikes, and here my recommendations regarding spikes.

Important rules about Hiking Buddies

• You have until 12 hours before the start of the event to drop out from the hike.
• Participants not showing up will get a "NO-SHOW" flag on their profile, which decreases significantly your chances to be accepted on future hikes.
• The organizer is no professional guide, participants must be responsible for themselves (and that means to do some research about the routes and its potential dangers / tricky sections to know if you have the experience for it).
• Not a rule, but on your profile, ideally, add a picture of you and select the country you're from (not the one you're living in), to show how international the group is. :)
