Description

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 24h before the start.


Sponsored by Arc'teryx

  • Everyone can join as long as you have the fitness level for such a hike. If you have joined a Arc'teryx sponsored hike in the past 6 months, please 1/ wait until Thursday to join (if any spot left) 2/ bring the Arc'teryx item you received last time.
  • Each participant will receive one goodie (shirt / beanie / gloves). Please wear your goodie during the hike for the photos. If you already have participated to a sponsored hike, please wear the item you received (you may not get another one).
  • For most of the participants (depends on stock), a (very good!!) Goretex jacket will be provided for the day and you'll be ask to wear it. This jacket can be kept for a month or two if you wish.
  • Arc'teryx will cover the transportation cost for the drivers (if you're bringing Hiking Buddies with you).

General information

Weather: Very sunny in the afternoon!!

Route: T2, but snow will make it more exhausting.

Pace / fitness level: Always hard to describe the pace! Let's say you need to have a good cardio to enjoy the hike. :) We'll have some breaks to take nice shots for Arc'teryx.

Transportation: Car or train. There's a connection from Zürich at 7 am. You'll need to walk 5 minutes to reach the parking where we give the goodies.


Schedule (approx.)

  • 09h30: We meet at the parking call Bärschwendi on Google Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/KQ5cGhFZEevoaqkt9
  • 9h30: We sort out the goodies and jackets. Happy if I get two volunteers to wear a Arc'teryx backpack (30 liters) for nicer Arc'teryx branded pictures.
  • 13h00: Top + lunch break
  • 14h00: Start going down.
  • 17h00: Parking

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



Gear

Mandatory: SNOWSHOES, hiking boots, at least 2L of water, food.

Good to have: Sun screen, sun glasses, hiking poles.

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

"This jacket can be kept for a month or two if you wish." <-- does it mean the jacket needs to be returned?

Just a heads up: This hike won't be easy, you need a good cardio to be able to do 1000m gain with snowshoes.
