There's a lot to do during the next months. So I start thinking of where to spend two weeks off in September. I have a camper and no special place in mind (yes, Norway 🇳🇴❤️ - would love to get your recommendations, but anything else?)

Focus on sport (hiking, trailrunning, maybe gravel), mountains, sea?, nature, solo.

What would you recommend? What's your most loved place that's worth driving to from Valais, Switzerland within two weeks?

I chose the wrong path and slipped on a rock, ending up with an open wound that bled surprisingly badly for how small the cut was. The force of the fall was enough that I could have broken my leg, as it got wedged between me and two other rocks. The cut even got infected afterwards and required antibiotics to heal, as it was still open after a month and swollen.

The subtle and, I would say, fragile February light during my solo ski tour to the Pöyrisjärvi Wilderness Area, Finland, in 2024.

October 2023 in the Pulju Wilderness Area, Finland. On the day of departure I was surprised by the first snow and had to haphazardly pack gear that would let me survive freezing temperatures. I did not bring skis, as I was unsure how much snow there would actually be. Needless to say, my rucksack weighed a ton on that trip. After injuring my knee in a slip and with the conditions turning bad, I had to cut my planned three week hike down to just one. Still, a nice hike 🤣

The steep cliffs of Geaidnogáisá in Norway in August 2023. The surrounding area is one of my favorite places to hike in all of Lapland.

Breakfast in the making inside my new Durston tent while hiking in September. The tent is so roomy that it feels safe to cook inside, with no need to worry about carbon monoxide or anything catching fire. If needed, I could stay holed up in this tent during a raging storm and still cook safely, unlike in my old Hilleberg Akto.

Valley somewhere in the Muotkatunturi Wilderness Area, Finland, during my September 2025 hike. The last time I was here was more than ten years ago in late winter or early spring. I had always wanted to see this place during the unfrozen season, and in 2025 I finally got the chance. Crazy nice even without snow.
