Playa de las Américas. The best place for a December visit to Tenerife, but we carried out a number of hikes elsewhere: Guajara, the Cumbres, Paisaje Lunar, Roques de García, and finally climbed the Teide very top. December 2006.
A fine and easy going classical glacier tour up to the Wildhorn top in the Berner Alpen, from Wildhornhütte above Iffegenalp. Very rewarding and above all expectations. September 2005.
Two trips from Chamanna Tuoi, Engadin. Over Fuorcla Vermunt to Dreiländerspitz. Then over Fuorcla Buin to the top of Piz Buin Grond. Rounded up by a visit to Guarda, a typical Engadin village. Switzerland and Austria, August 2004.
A birthday trip to Berner Alpen. Starting in Iffigenalp we reached Wildstrubelhütte just for climbing Rohrbachstein. Then got to Flueseehütte to climb Wildstrubel next day. October 2001.
Cut out by rising streams for too long in unmanned self-catering Capanna Efra in Val Verzasca in Ticino. Survived on wine and provisions left by past visitors. Next time, believe the weather forecasts. July 2001.
A longer weekend in Ticino is always a good idea, especially if it is the upper Val Verzasca. Went from Sonogno to the Capanna Barone via Val Vegorness and then from Frasco to Alpe dell’Efra. June 2001.
A travel to Scotland, sightseeing and short treks in the mountains, July 1996.
A family trip to the italian Val d’Aosta and its neighbours in Switzerland. June 1995.
A family excursion with a small car and a small tent across the Swiss, Italian and Austrian Alps. August 1992.
