ジョーンの天然記念物・トップ20

2025 was expected to be the last season with the ice palaces (according to today's media report). 17,400 people visited the ice palaces last season. With 16 days of operation and repeated interruptions lasting several days, the effort became increasingly greater and, overall, no longer feasible. It was great 🤩👌🏼

Unfortunately, the summit climb was difficult at the end of May due to the snow-covered Kaiseregg Pass. In spring, with persistent snow, it's only recommended for experienced and/or well-equipped hikers. Crampons and poles were a must for me!

A short detour to the waterfall is definitely worth it.

The Gastlosen mountain range is a limestone chain that stretches for 15 kilometres between Fribourg and Bern. From here you can see the Bernese and Valais Alps.

The "Swiss Dolomites🏔" The Gastlosen near Jaun in the canton of Fribourg are known for their impressive, dolomite-like rock formation and offer a wide range of hiking and climbing opportunities. This area is a highlight for mountain lovers, with breathtaking views and numerous outdoor activities. Start➡️: Parking lot at the Chalet Grat mountain hut. Alternatively, you can travel to Jaun by bus and take the cable car. 🥾: The Gastlosen circular tour takes around the rock massif in about 3-4 hours. The path is of medium difficulty and offers fantastic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. 🔝: Along the way, you can marvel at the impressive rock faces of the Gastlosen and enjoy numerous photo opportunities. 📸 🧗‍♀️: The Gastlosen offer numerous routes for climbers of all levels of difficulty, especially on the western flank. These routes are among the most popular climbing spots in Switzerland and are a real highlight for experienced climbers.

Maybe not ideal to reach on a Nordic walking tour because the path is very rocky and rooty, but it's still nice. 😉

Witnessing the sunrise up here is simply amazing!

Of course it's only really a highlight in winter :-)
