      Somehow Reddit ate the text I wrote to the video,..
      So I have holidays and decided to grab a GA (its 100.- cheaper right now) and explore our mountains a bit. Last week I was at Segnespass and there was still a fair bit of snow. And just yesterday I was at Engstligengrad and it was really awesome. Not a to difficult hike, 800 meters of elevation gain is not nothing, but doable. There was still snow, and on the path down I had to cross quit a few snowfields. And honestly, the views up there are awesome. Talliseewli still has ice sheets on it. Only downside for this hike, no shadow at all.

      Now I am looking for other reachable places. Lets say, max 3 hours from Zürich, best case not to expensive Gondola (or even free with GA).
      I am eyeballing Eggishorn, since half the way is included in GA and you can start fairly high. Open for any other ideas. But hey, I am just a hiker, so T3 is max for me.
      Edit: Just as a help for others here is a good overview about most GA free gondolas, some are maybe missing, like Stechelberg-Mürren in Lauterbrunnen is also free and not on the map. https://map.transitapp.ch/#latlng=46.557551,7.902504&zoom=14.0&price_type=ga-free

      I went to Limmernsee.
      Gondola is fairly affordable and after that its a 3km walk through a cold tunnel. After like 45min you are on the other side right at a beautiful lake with beautiful mountains. Multiple hikes to go from there.

      If cost hadn’t been an issue, would have suggested the Ice Palace at the Jungfraujoch and a good book 🤩

      I hike everyday to my apartment on the third floor where I have a portable split AC 😅

      Generally the higher you go the more snow you potentially have. Not saying that that is cooler though. Forests are still better. Was on torrenthorn in may and i got almost cooked alive with all the snow.
      not sure how much snow it now has but when we went it was covered in snow and we used axes as well as crampons and gaiters. So maybe not a hike.

      I loved walking up the grosser Mythen. My absolute favourite Mountain.

      Any gorge should do, really. I went to one yesterday and it was quite cool due to the shade and the river. The bad thing is that eventually, you’ll reach the end and have to go out into the sun again xD

      Hiking UP to snow in this heat wave is a really bad idea. It will be extremely hot and you’re super exposed to the sun. Very dangerous.

      A better idea would be to hike through forests with shade.

      But take it easy in a heat wave. Can get dangerous very quickly

      Related question: what’s it like to hike durinh a heat wave? Is it too hot?

      Les Gorges de la Poëta-Raisse, is an incredible hike hiden deep in a gorge and shaded by the foret around that lovely river that cools down even more the entire path. Can’t get any cooler outdoor walk.

      but if you’re looking badly for even cooler temp, and don’t mind burring yourself deep into the mountain, la Saline de Bex is a solid option.
