Today was a stunning day. I was in luck that beautiful late summer weather coincided with a day off. Have been saving this local classic Gurnigel - Gantrisch - Stockhorn for quite some time, and today was the day. It did not disappoint.

At first I was a bit anxious though, as no less than 2 full busses drove to the start. Would this be a traffic jam hike? I should not have worried, as I was the only one hiking the route. All the others disappeared into different directions.

The trail to the Gantrisch was easy and shortly before it, I came onto the ridge. I would be on ridges lots of times. One ridge was becoming only 30 cm wide and after checking, it showed I missed a turn (it would be possible though, but as I was alone, I turned around out of safety reasons and found the correct trail).

After an easy climb to Chatz u Mus the final Stockhorn climb came into sight. After summitting I descended by cablecar.

What-a-day!
