Mettelhorn

On a glorious day in July 2026 I finally made it to the summit of Mettelhorn. It is one of the best day hikes in Switzerland. The views are among the most spectacular in the Alps.

Oberrothorn

On a clear day the 360 views from Oberrothorn are amazing. The hike to the top is relatively easy, especially if you take the cable car up to Rothorn.

Lauteraarhütte

The hike to the Lauteraarhütte is relatively easy but long. At the hut you are rewarded with spectacular views and apricot pie, or soup if you prefer.
