March 9, 2025,Rund um das Alpsteingebirge von Röfisbach - einen Steinwurf zum Säntis und Altmann

Great tour in glorious sunshine. However, today's stage started …

June 14, 2025,Über die Schwägalp zum Gräppelensee 🍀🌞

Apparently, today's summer weather took its toll on my Garmin. After the first climb, the altitude measurement only recorded crap. In fact, the route totals over 2,000 meters of elevation gain. The climb to Gräppelensee is incredibly steep for about 350 meters 🤪. There's practically no shade there, but you always have fantastic views. This is topped off again when …

June 20, 2025,Alpstein Runde zur Tour de Suisse 🇨🇭🍀🌞

Repeated last Saturday's loop over Schwägalp to Gräppelensee, this time with strong climbing companions. My Garmin's altitude measurement was a bit off this time, too. It's actually around 2,200 meters.
The Tour de Suisse was also very impressive, which we timed perfectly on a steep climb 🇨🇭😎🚀
