While the weather is still great, let's go to three peaks "at once" in Urnerland: The Lidernen-Trilogie with Rossstock, Fulen, and Chaiserstock.

Be aware that this hike is only for experienced hikers due to the length, and T4 sections. My route will be something like this one on hikr — see there for pictures!

For the "faint of heart" that would like to do a bit less (270m elevation gain/loss or 1h 25min), there's also the option to do pretty much the normal route that everyone does - until reaching and crossing the pass "Lidernen Plänggeli". It might not work out to meet again and I do not plan to do this route. I'll pass by the Spilauer See.

Note that there's quite some ascent ⬆️ and descent ⬇️ on the tour - about 1'700m up and down! Make sure that's cool with you. Also note that the total duration is about 8 hours of walking (according to SchweizMobil).

As usual on my hikes, I will go to a restaurant (maybe the Alp Hotel Biel-Kinzig) at the end of the day - being too lazy to cook and all that…
