The photos fell victim to the heat🥵, since there are already some photos from the tour, that's not so bad😉
Today, many Sunday e-bikers were out and about in turbo mode, following the motto, let's go up the Schönhalden quickly😲🤔

Today was the premiere of shorts. Pleasant temperatures and beautiful spring weather accompanied me on this tour. The ascent from Flums up to the Berghaus Schöhnhalden is relatively easy, since most of the route is on asphalt or dirt roads. From the Schöhnhalde you then traverse in the direction of Lake Chapfen, mostly through the snowmelt on wet meadow trails. …

Nice round on Labor Day. Started in Flums with a fascinating play of clouds, up to the Schönhalde and from there down a fun single trail (S2). At the Sässli, turn towards Capfensee and from there down towards Mels. The weather was perfect and I was finally able to leave my home territory and discover new trails. After the many …

November 7, 2025,Über den Nebel – Sonnentraum am Flumserberg/Schönhalde

After Wednesday's fantastic hike – including a minor tumble 😅 – today's tour was even more breathtaking!

Start: 10:30 a.m. in Flums at around 6°C and dense fog.

The trail led up towards Flumserberg, and with every meter of elevation gained, the sun slowly emerged. At one point, I simply stood there in awe – blue sky above me, a …
