This hike is subject to a few criteria - read the full description before joining the event please. :)

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

Sponsored by Arc'teryx

• Each participant will receive one goodie (shirt / cap), if they haven't received one in the past. Please wear your goodie during the hike for the photos.
• Arc'teryx will cover the transportation cost for the drivers. If you're a driver, please do not charge anything to the passengers.
• You can join if 1/ you have done at least 1 hike with Hiking Buddies and 2/ if you haven't joined a previous Arc'teryx hike. From Saturday, those conditions don't apply anymore and everyone can take the remaining spots.

Participants not meeting these criteria will be removed from the event.

The limit of participants is due to limited goodies, and can't be increased.

General information

Weather: Sunny.

Route: T3, with a small T4 section.

Pace / fitness level: You need to be a experienced hiker with a good fitness level. We will have a pace uphills of at least 500m gain / hour. T4 means exposed trails, make sure you're not (too) afraid of heights.

Transportation: If by car, fuel is covered by Arc'Teryx (refund for drivers will take 1 to 2 months). You're free to join by public transports if the starting point allows it.

Schedule (approx.)

• 08h00: We meet at the parking Seilbahn Chäppeliberg - Spilau / Tal.

  We will take 20 minutes to sort out the goodies.

• 08h20: Start
• 11h00: Rophaien
• 14h00: Parking

Do not plan anything right after a hike as we might come back much later than expected if something unexpected happens.

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