⚠️Please read the whole description, it contains important information ⚠️

General information

Weather: Sun. Some snow expected on T2 sections.

Route: Mostly T3. For more info about T1 > T6 scale, check out this blog (click here).

Pace: Sporty pace (at least 600m gain / hour).

If you have no clue what this represents, here are some hints:

• Times you see on hiking signs in Switzerland assume a pace of 300 to 400m gain / hour
• Uetliberg from Albisgütli is 300m gain: If you make it in 30 mn or less, your pace is at least 600m gain / hour
• If you're a regular runner / biker you should be able to maintain a pace >= 600m gain / hour
• If you don't do any running / biking / cardio you might struggle starting from 500m gain / hour

In case you're not able to keep up with the pace, we might split up.

Meeting point: We take the bus together from the bus stop called Innertkirchen, Grimseltor, 3862 Innertkirchen at 7h58 am. It will drop us at Nessental at 08h11.

Schedule (approx.)

• 07h45: We meet at the bus stop.
• 07h58: We take the bus.
• 08h11: We get off the bus and start hiking.
• 10h30: Trifsee. Break for snack and beautiful pictures.
• 11h00: We keep hiking.
• ...more details soon...
• 17h00: Parking.
  

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

Gear

Make sure you bring the usual hiking gear (good shoes especially). The rest (snacks, water, sunscreen) is up to you, make sure to bring enough, especially when it's very warm.

Additional notes about the 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 sign up without showing up, the organiser is free to flag your profile with a no-show, reducing your chances to be accepted on a future hike.

Transportation

This is a carpool event, possibly combined with people coming by public transports. Anyone else with a car can add it via the Carpool button at the top of this page. If you join by public transports, see the guidelines further down.

Instructions for joining my car

1. Click on the Carpool button.
2. If there's any available seat, click Join car. You have 12h before the event to unjoin, but the earlier the better so that someone else can join.

Click on Carpool button, and then Join a car, or Add a car.

Where / when do we meet?

If you are a driver or joining by public transports, you need to be at the "Parking / Starting point" mentioned at the very top of this page. The time is also there. Plan to arrive 5 minutes earlier, at least.
