Three Ponds with Marianne and Flavio

Today, I caught up with my friend Marianne and her cute son Flavio (and Ueli, Flavio's little monkey :-) ). We went to the three ponds in St.Gallen to enjoy the beautiful autumn weather.

Two Days In The Mountains With Dad

This weekend, I did a two day hike with my dad. The weather was awesome...clear, blue sky and we had a view over so many mountain tops! First, we hiked from Schwägalp (1352 m) to Mount Säntis (2502 m). There we passed the Lisengrat (2310 m) to the Rotsteinpass (2142 m) and went down to Meglisalp (1517 m). Like it's usual in the Alpstein, we climbed another mountain after our descend. It's always up and down :-) This time it was the Ageteplatte (1939 m). It was our last summit for Saturday. From there, we hiked down to Mesmer (1613 m) to a lovely little lodge where we spent the night. After sunset it was a bit stormy and the day after was still very, very windy :-)...but fortunately sunny...and that's the main point! :-)

The next morning, we stood up at 6:30 to see the sunrise...amazing! After our breakfast we went up to Mount Öhrli where we saw over twenty chamois. Unfortunately, they were far away and it was hard to get a good picture of them. The last summit we had to climb was Mount Schäfler (1924 m).

It was a great trip...two days full of adventure, fun and the beauty of nature.
