south america 2011

On April 6. Vinc and me started our 4 month long, exciting travel through south america. Everything was kind of planned and in the last seconds we got all the vaccinations and paper work organised.
Our flight went over London, where we had one nice day of sight seeing before we continued to Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina. Here we explored the city and had a nice, relaxed start with eating a lot of empanadas, dancing (ok, mostly watching) Tango, seeing local markets and just enjoying the argentinian life style.
After one week we flew south to the so called "end of the world", to Ushuaia. Here the weather was definetly colder and we spent one night in the national park, freezing in our little tent ;o)However hiking was great here and we had an amazing view from C. Guanaco. Afterwards we went north to El Calafate over Rio Gallegos and further to El Chalten where we did some nice hiking tours in the park near Fitz Roy. Unfortunately we saw mostly clouds and the wind was super strong.
When I saw the Perito Moreno, I got a good chill all over my back. This glacier is the most awesome natural and still growing mass of ice I have ever seen.
From El Calafate we took a bus to Puerto Natales where we did a 4 day camping trip in the awesome "Torres del Peine" national park. We hiked with 4 other people from italy, france, new zealand and bolivia and, even though the weather was not always on pour side, we had a super fun time. Now the travel goes on to Santiago...I'll be back with more pictures. Some snapshots from our trip including Buenos Aires-Ushuaia-Perito Moreno-El Chalten-Torres del Peine so far (unfortunately not sorted) you can see here: Gallery: South america 2011

Southside Festival 2010

Here we go...Some nice weekend in mid june, where some crazy dudes from germany, italy, canada, austria, india thought they have to fight natures forces by camping in knee deep mud at the Southside Festival in Neuhausen ob Eck.
Tiny car was rented, 7 people stuffed in together, some tents, chairs, backpacks and whatever fit in the last corner and of we went. Here are some muddy pictures in the galery Gallery: Southside

Skitour Rütistein

One nice weekend in march I went spontaniuosly with colleagues and friends on a very nice skitour on the top of the Rütistein at Hoch Ybrig. We started at the gondola station Weglosen. First up a quite steep slope and then along a pathway to Druesberg cabin. After a little break we started the final hike up to the top of Rütistein. The weather was amazing, as you can see on the pictures in the Gallery: Rütistein

Cinque Terre

End of september me and Vinc packed our things and drove off to italy for a few days. We had quite ok weather and a really good time. Besides two amazing MTB Tours we jogged along the Via dell´amore. The views were fantastic, we swan in the sea, were lying at the beach watching the sunset and tried to experience a bit the italian life style despite all the tourists around.
Here are some of the pictures we took on the way:

Nora, Milano, Locarno.

In the beginning of march I had an amazing long weekend in the swiss Tessin and Italy. After we visited the castles in Bellinzona we drove over the border to Milano. We stayed in the probably worst room I have ever seen (mouldy, smoky and overall just disgusting...), however we enjoyed the city, climbed on the "Duomo" and got a taste of real italian food. Afterwards we continued to Locarno, which is a beautiful small town where one can really feel the mediterranean influence from italy. We went with our tourskis in direction of the mountain "Gridone" and had an amazing ride down. See some pics in the
