I did it in mid March. The snow had just fallen and there wasn’t any ice. Whether it’s doable in winter depends entirely on how much ice and snow there is, but regardless it’s best to have microspikes. I still would not recommend this to someone with no winter hiking experience. Apart from winter, it’s a safe in summer, but stay at due distance from the cliffs

Thanks Cathrine - I'll pin your comment as that cannot be stressed enough, and I mentioned it as well 4-5 times on the related blog post. Btw, I really liked how well the trail was marked to make it as clear as possible in the most difficult passages, even with hands and footholds painted on the rocks.

Glad you had such a great time, sounds like a great ending to your Iceland trip!

Thanks! This was taken in mid-May. Best to be prepared for possible Icy conditions at that time of the year. I had micro spikes with me, though I didn't have to use them. Anyway enjoy the trip!

This was actually taken back in 2017, if I remember correctly I was there between the 7th and 16th of September of that year.

About 40 minutes. Not a difficult one, and it is marked - thought there is loose gravel in places so it can be a bit slippery, especially when wet. Best to have a waterproof jacket when passing by Haifoss it’s like raining down there :)!

Thanks Anna, glad you enjoyed it!

Danke Roman!

Thanks Rob! Yes, the view of the Aletsch glacier from there is amazing. I started this hike in Fiescheralp. It's a 16.4km loop hike with a total elevation gain of 890m. Apart from the length, this hike is moderately difficult, meaning there are no scrambling, steep, or exposed sections. You can reach Fiescheralp with a cable car from Fiesch, do the loop, and once back in Fiescheralp you can take the cable car to the Eggishorn, or hike up there. You could also do the same loop from Bettmeralp, but there are two cable cars to take and it's considerably more expensive. Anyway, in the description there's a link to the detailed report of the hike, how to get there, and an embedded Komoot map from where you can download the GPX file of this hike if you want to do the same loop. Feel free to let me know in case of any other questions!

About 1/1:30 hours to the waterfall

@@thephotohikes Thank you 'D

You’re welcome!

Thanks for the comment, Tom. It's an unmarked track indeed. I haven't been there in a couple of years now. Since then the road likely deteriorated even further due to traffic.

If you ask me…go for it ;)!

Thanks!

true in so many different ways!

yep never seen them so close

yep, one of my favorite hikes around the lake!

Thanks, Glad you enjoyed it :)!

Yes, absolutely!

Thanks! Glad it's useful, that's the main reason I share this content. It's a very beautiful area, I'm sure you'll love it!

absolutely loved them!

Yes she was the friendliest sheepdog I've ever met in a pasture :)! loved hiking too apparently

@@thephotohikes love, thanks for documenting it 🥰

Thank you very much!

Hi Michael - that was filmed in July

Thanks Jordan! Maybe; it really depends on how much snow and ice there will be at that time. You would have to cross a small ravine half way through the hike I'd imagine that would be the most difficult part. You can always try and turn back if the trail is too sketchy, but it would be best to have some microspikes or a pair of Yaktrax just for extra safety. Hope this helps, enjoy the trip!

Thank you! Cheers!

Hi Ugo - normally it should be possible in early October, unless the weather is particularly bad. Late in October, it may be a bit of a gamble since the road is not serviced.

It was!

Thanks!

Thanks! Easily in my top 3 hikes in Switzerland

Thanks!

thanks so much have a great day too!!

That's what I also tell myself each time I come back from Iceland...I have to go back :) Seriously, hope you can catch it next time you visit! In the meantime, happy holidays!

Thanks, yes the panoramic views from up there are truly spectacular!

Thank you very much!

Thanks! It was actually rather warm, and it was late may, but there was quite a lot of snow late in the season last year

Thank you very much for your help. Love your videos @@thephotohikes

Thanks so much!!

This was early August

Thanks so much Jim! I don't actually have one from this particular location but I have seen a few on UA-cam, so if you search for Hvítserkur, you should be able to find them

Thanks, it is indeed a very beautiful location!

Thanks Mario, true Norway is really epic!

True 0:33 fake looking steps 1:31 fake looking cliff on left 2:38 fake looking waterfall and rocks Then DJI footage at the end looks normal

Thanks! Yes, around 6 hours for the roundtrip. It is rather slow going, mostly because of mud and rocks.

Thanks! ...it would be time well spent, and a good excuse to go back :)

Glad you made it, yes one of my favorites too

Fully agree, a very beautiful and still underrated location!

Thanks!

Thank you very much!
