We start the hike at 10:20am from Luftseilbahn Tierfehd - Kalktrittli Bergstation.

From there we will walk up to Muttseehütte, around 1000 height meters.

Then do a circle with the view on Muttsee and then to Limmerensee, which is the beautiful picture in the hike description.

The hut Muttseehütte is also open and it is possible to buy food and drinks there, but i would like to do a picnic with the view on Limmerensee.

There we will also make the group picture.

The way back will be through a tunnel from Limmerensee to the cable car station.

There is light normally since there are also guided tours in the Pumpspeicherwerk, but if you have you can still bring a headlamp.

I will have one, so normally 1-2 lamps and phones should be enough just in case.

Weather
Forecast looks very good, sunny day and just that bit of clouds that make pictures beautiful :).

If that changes we will still do another hike in the area. 

Gear
Mandatory: Hiking boots (or trail running shoes) with a good grip, sun screen, headlamp, warm clothes, rain cover, at least 1,5L of water, and food for lunch and snacks along the way.
You always need a lamp (head or handheld) with you, even during day hikes.

Recommended: Sunglasses, cover for head (e.g. baseball cap), hiking poles.

See here an exhaustive check list of gear for single day hikes.

You can also borrow an Arc'teryx rain jacket for the hike (a very good one). If interested, answer Julien's comment below by mentioning your size (take into account that if you're usually M you might want S as Arc'Teryx sizing is a bit different).
