The Kaiseregg is one of the main peaks of the Friborg Pre-Alps and offers panoramas worthy of romantic paintings! It is therefore not surprising that this hike attracts many adventurers.

May 29, 2025,Kaiseregg 2185m / Schwarzsee FR
Same mountain 5 days later. Last week's cold snap is history.

Today was my first ascent of the Kaiseregg Pass this season. As is typical for May, I had to avoid a few switchbacks in the lower section of the Kaiseregg Pass. These switchbacks are always filled with a meter-high layer of snow for a long time. The sun barely …

Today day 2 of my short trip to Switzerland ♥️. And finally climbed the Kaiseregg. Due to my slight knee injury 🙄 I decided to first take the chairlift to Riggisalp and then up to the top. It was exhausting enough as it was. Great weather and the first snow - probably the first and last for me this season …

The pictures are a bit jumbled, but no matter - it was a beautiful day!

After it had rained a bit yesterday until late evening, not like a deluge elsewhere, I didn't know exactly how muddy and slippery the hiking trails in the mountains would look today. The warm summer rain, perfect for dancing in, was urgently needed, as the neighboring municipality had …

As always at the end of May. The first Kaiseregg ascent of the year was due 🥳

Today I started very late to climb to a summit. Only set off at 10 am and the thermometer was already scratching the 20°C mark at 1050m. But since it was merely the local mountain of Schwarzsee and I can manage the route …

Today was once again a classic of mine on the program. Already at the start at 10:15 a.m. it was warm 20 degrees 🥵. I left the destination open because at this time of year there is often still a lot of snow on the steps just before the Kaiseregg Pass. And there was still a lot of snow in …
