General information

A sea of wild crocuses. Doesn’t it sound like a place where you want to be on a beautiful spring day? Let's hike to the colourful with thousands of crocuses covered Rämisgummen.

Route: T2, have shoes with good grip. If you don't know what the T-Scale is, read this blog (click here).

Pace: Moderate pace, for which you won't have any problem if you're doing sports regularly.

Meeting point:  Bus station Schangnau, Post - 09:45

Transportation: The starting time (9:45) makes it possible to take the train from Zürich 07:32 via Bern to Escholzmatt, then by bus to Schangnau, Post. Keep in mind that starting point is not ending point - if you opt to come by car, best to park in Trubschachen and then use public transport

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.

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
