This is the route I want to do next week! Do you know how long is the hike and possible time of arrival back to Zurich . If I cannot fit you I probably will do the same hike with other event . But I would be happier if I could join you.

Hey Lilo ! I’m looking at 4 hours of ascent, 1 hour of break in total (at most) and 2 1/2 hours of descent. So about 7 1/2 hours total time for an estimated finish between 5-6 PM. If the group is small and fit I will set a faster though. For return to Zurich, I’ll let you check your connections. I don’t live there.
