Alpine Treasures

There's still a lot to show. As so often, a perspective you've hardly ever seen 😜

Tell me the difference between humans and ibexes?!

📌best comment

I tend to assume I won't get to see ibexes very often. But if I get the chance, I'll make something of it. No, dear friends, you have little protection from being trapped by me in the digital ether of aesthetics.
But, forgive me, if I am wrong, it will hardly affect you.

What's your favourite way to spend a night in the mountains?

💫 Night sky at almost 3000 metres. The whole thing happened during the night of the thunderstorm, but it didn't reach this far..

☀️rise in 🤩😇

I had been looking for crystals. But I found this cheeky little friend 👅 What is it exactly? 🤔

⚠️☢️😅 Who detonated a nuclear bomb in ticino yesterday?

[ Or explain the phenomenon to me 🤭 ]

The supposed safety of a rope 😅 Enough for posing, anyway. 🤭🤞

Grazie 📸

[No bitz editiert, und d Antene gfotoshopped 😋]

Ich poste jetzt es Bild vom 📍 Witenstock, wells so guet wie gar kei Fotis uf IG vo da gid 😅 öppis wenigs no under hashtag

Isch jetzt ned de spannendschti Gipfel ever 😂🙈 Aber jetzt bini mal gsi und weiss es. Vermuetlich isch mer da obe immerhin no recht einsam.

Das lid wohl au dra, dass es uf de Charte kei Markierig gid, vor Ort aber blau-wiss und überschrittbar. Au de witer unde isch markiert und begehbar.

You don't understand? No worries, it's not even important.. 😛

😃 Do you recognize the region? Or even the summit I'm sitting on?

A great adventure. And few have quality pictures of a place like this. I had the pleasure of having a local friend show me the route. 🙃

[Not a 2024 photo]

Doesn't that increase your wanderlust? 🙃

Eine Aufnahme, die meinen Stil verkörpert: Abenteuerlust & ein Ort, von dem nicht viele Bilder anbieten können ;-)

Little-known summit in the south of the Wägital. The mountain lies on the Schwyz / Glarus border. The summit book from 2012 is still there.

The ascent and descent require climbing up to the third degree.

1 or 2 ? 😬

And can you name the summit here? 🤭 Maybe the background will help 🤫

Früsch gschossnigs wild.. 📸🫢

Which one do you like? 🙃🐐

Fresh content from – still a lot of snow around the peak. Not many have been up there this season.

Fascinating formation that stands out and can be easily recognised from afar.

The is a very rarely visited summit. The ascent to the 🔝 is brittle and risky, so I don't really recommend it. The hike to the Gulderstock, on the other hand, is easy to do (~t4) and this is also where the picture is from 😊

🧐❓ Quiz for you:

👉 how many of these summit crosses can you recognise?

How well do you know the mountains and peaks? I want to test it. Nobody can probably recognise all six. I'm curious. 🙃🙃

How many?

🤔❓ are all three lakes the same? Or different ones? 🙃

Let's see if you know...

Name those lakes ! One Beer for the first who can guess all 4 right... 😋🫢 it's always getting harder.

If you could stand in one of these places right now, which one would you choose? 🙃

1️⃣ 📍 Gräppelensee
2️⃣ 📍 Riseten
3️⃣ 📍 Göscheneralp
4️⃣ 📍 Golzerensee
5️⃣ 📍 Üetliberg
6️⃣ 📍 Fleschsee
7️⃣ 📍 sind nur 6 Bilder, sorry

🪑 You can only choose two. Which would be your benches?

1) 📍 Rigi Kulm | SZ/LU
2) 📍 Vitznau | LU
3) 📍 Rueras | GB
4) 📍 Leglerhütte | GL
5) 📍 Rigi Rotstock | SZ/LU
6) 📍 Durschlegi | SG
7) 📍 Chli Mythen | SZ

1 or 2 ? 😃

Two pictures from (UR) on two different days:
Which one was photographed with 15mm?
Which one with 25mm?
Which one is a long exposure?
With how many seconds?
What is the name of the mountain in the background? And how much do I weigh? 😂😛
