The Leistchamm is an alpine not demanding summit, which is very well from Amden, from Starkenbach a little more elaborate, as much further, to reach. Best view guaranteed ...

Sweating in the "Schwiz".😄.. the 2nd attempt to the Leistkamm (last time canceled due to too much snow 🙄).... this time with the best hiking weather and excellent visibility, but with some difficult underground.... the continuous rain has some spots made quite slippery.... because it said: step by step.

It's worth starting off early because quite a few wanted to enjoy the magnificent view from the Leistchamm.
Via the Flugenspitz through the beautiful flower meadows via the Altschen alpine farm including …

I slipped down the valley at some point with every 2nd step, in the powder snow that fell overnight.. .. that was too dangerous for me given the steepness of the terrain .... other hikers also turned around and left the summit cross to the …

Hello fellow hikers! Today I was drawn back to Lake Walen and the canton of St. Gallen. This time, I explored the other end of the Churfirsten mountain range. I chose two peaks to climb: the Flügenspitz and the Leistchamm. The latter is a real Instagram hotspot and, consequently, a very popular mountain. However, I was already on my way …
