  • Day 4. Somehow Christof and I managed to rendezvous in the small town of Zinal. Together we set out on another great day in the Swiss alps traveling from Zinal to St. Niklaus. My only hope is that things will be just hard enough for Christof to make him believe in my description of the previous 3 days.

    Great series. I understand the steepness would kinda suck for running, but it's really why the hiking in Europe is so spectacular. Super steep with no horse shit on the trail, great restaurant/rufugio/refuge along the way, so you can travel light. Long gradual designed-for-horses trails in the US so suck.

    The most entertaining part of these is the little snide comments the boys make about each other. Funnily enough, I once had to have some hiking boots repaired in Sankt Niklas. In case Danny and the boys read this: if you want the best 4000ers (14ers to you) in the Alps, Zinaltal and Mattertal are the place to be! Zinalrothorn, Täschhorn, Obergabelhorn... the most amazing peaks and routes are in the place you just ran through!

    • @rolandkuehne8015
      @rolandkuehne8015 4 роки тому +10

      You could leave it at the airport or a hotel and pick it up later. Also, if it helps, within Switzerland you can send your luggage via Swiss Railway from station to station (check their website). Costs approx 10usd a bag and takes 2 days. So you could send it straight from the airport train station to another train station within Switzerland and pick it up after the trip. Greetings from Switzerland ;-)
