General information

Currently weather forecast looks good for the weekend - final decision during the week :)

Route: T2/T3, 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:  Fidaz, Bargis  - 09h15

Transportation: The starting time (09h15) makes it possible to take a train from Zürich 06h38 to Chur - then Bus  to Flims Post

It's also possible to drive by car to Flims and park there at one of the cabine stations, then after the hike return from Trin to Flims.

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.

Schedule (approx.)

• 09h15: We start hiking from Bargis to Alp Mora
• 12h00: Glacier Potholes Alp Mora
• 13h45: Hiking down to Trin
• 15h43:Bus from Trin back to Zürich
• 17h22: Zürich HB

Gear

At least 3l water (There is no water on the full hike), picknick, sun cream, towel and clothes for taking a bath in the potholes plus whatever else you need for a good day in the mountains.

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

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 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.
