introductionthis is a trip report in pictures. I would rather do this as an album - but it seems that there you cannot give an order to the shown pictures. picture report
starting at St. Antoenien |
We are starting on a fine winter day at St. Antoenien. Here, at the houses of Litzirueti, the route branches off to the right into a side valley. Many people think that the nice mountain in the background is Sulzfluh - but in fact it is the far less famous Weissplatte.
Gafia side valley |
The route follows the little snow covered road into the side valley of the Gafier Bach creek where we pass the houses of Engi and Doerfji.
crossing the creek |
after crossing the Gafierbach creek behind the houses of Doerfji the real ascent starts.
a creek in winter |
a creek, snow and NO tracks of humans is one of my favorite picture motifs.
Saess pasture |
Some 300m ascent brings us to Saess pasture (1941m). It's a very fine spot for a rest. The unimposing summit of Eggberg can already be seen on the left.
Saess from above |
another 260m rather gentle ascent brings us on the summit of Eggberg. Now we are looking down to Saess pasture - and looking forward to skiing down there.
summit view |
summit view from Eggberg down to St. Antoenien valley. In the background are main mountains of the Raetikon Group: Drei Tuerme (left) and Sulzfluh (right). In front of Drei Tuerme is Schafberg (that is another nice mountain for a ski tour). 
Hasenflueli |
One and a half hours later we are now standing in front of the rocky summit of Hasenflueli. More behind is Raetschenhorn mountain.
cairn and Schesaplana |
this big cairn is not on a summit but on the ridge near Hasenflueli. In the background Schesaplana (2965m) can be seen - highest mountain of the Raetikon Group.
starting downhill |
It's already late and it's time to start the final downhill. Again Schesaplana is left in the background (right are parts of Drei Tuerme)
last sun |
we enjoy the last rays of todays sun being back in the St. Antoenien valley. Images
