    Fotos/Impressionen vom 18.1.2026. Mittlerweile eine Tour, die wir jährlich im Winter machen. Es hat zwar immer einige Leute bei beiden Gipfeln, aber auf der Wanderung selber verteilt es sich gut.

    Der Aufstieg durch die Moorlandschaft wunderschön, Panorama auf dem Jänzi grandios (5 Sterne ). Der Abstieg über Weiden und Alpstrasse mühsam und langweilig

    Sehr schöne Wanderung mit fantastischen Ausblicken in alle Richtungen. Der Anstieg ist recht anspruchsvoll, bei Regen wird es sehr matschig. Nach Langis führt die Route interessanterweise nicht 😉

    Blue sky, warm temperatures, magnificent views... Right now on the sun exposed slopes, snow is melting very fast. Maybe the wind turns north again to refresh this area with new snow. We enjoyed the Jänzitrail!

    Diese Wanderung hat mir sehr gut gefallen, ausser der letzte Teil der Strasse entlang. Am Anfang geht's einen schönen Pfad steil obsi auf den Rickhubel. Die Aussicht auf das wunderschöne Bergpanorama ist herrlich!

    stunning route! beautiful views! a lot of ascending and descending. be aware that the descent from the top is very steep, to the point where sometimes you can better slide down than walk down, and it takes you through a sheep enclosure guarded by two dogs that keep a close eye on you.
