W-Trek: Glacier Grey
Paine Grande - Mirador Grey - Paine Grande
The day began early with a bus ride from Puerto Natales to Pudeto (6:45-9:45, 2h, https://www.recorrido.cl/). There a catamaran ride was waiting over Lago Pehoe to Paine
Grande (10:30 - 11:00, 0.5h, https://catamaranpehoe.com). Here you have the option to leave luggage if you plan to return in the evening (https://booking.vertice.travel/). As I didn't have much luggage, I decided to take everything with me and stay ahead of the crowds.
The highlight of the day is the breathtaking view of Glacier Grey, a perfect spot for a picnic lunch. If you choose to shorten the first stage of the hike and stay overnight at Refugio Grey, you can continue on to get even closer to the glacier.
Donauradweg: Machland - Wien
Machland - Stift Melk - Tulln - Wien
For the first time, a complete day almost without rain that my shoes could dry!
I started in the Machland. From there I cycled via Melk through some wine-growing areas to Wien, where I also had one rest day to explore the city.
Passo San Jorio
Langer aber gut zu fahrender Anstieg zum Passo San Jorio (Teer, Schotter).
Danach wird der Trail schmaler und bietet entlang dem Grenzgebiet von Schweiz und Italien schöne Aussichten in die umgebende Landschaft.
Everest Basecamp Trek (EBC): Lobuche - Gorak Shep
The trek from Lobuche to Gorak Shep was both exhilarating and demanding.
As we made our way along the rocky trail, stunning views of the Khumbu Glacier unfolded before us.
The landscape featured a mix of rugged terrain and breathtaking mountain panoramas of the surrounding peaks.
Upon reaching Gorak Shep, we had reached our goal. Unfortunately, the weather remained foggy in the following days, limiting our mountain views to only brief glimpses of the majestic peaks.
