WOW! This is so helpful as Zermatt is one of the locations that is time consuming. This Guide was really helpful.

First video I've found that shows the trails down from Gornergrat to track the sheep - thank you! So helpful :)

Great video - I went up there in the summer of 1999 with my uncle and aunt on a day trip from Saas Fee - I wish I’d seen the sheep then? How cute are they? 😆 The landscape up there feels like you are on the moon doesn’t it? It reminds me of the Lünarsee just over the border in Austria.

Perfect timing as always! We’ll be in Zermatt for a good chunk of a day only (😢) in August on our way to Lausanne from Lake Lugano via bus (and train), but this will be super helpful. You literally just showed me what I had planned to do in Zermatt is most definitely doable! As always, THANK YOU!

@kerrineilson597 3 ай бұрын

Perfect timing! I just purchased your new Zermatt travel guide and Lucerne this morning! And your transportation guide is also amazing. I am just still struggling to figure out the best way to get from Milan to Zermatt using the glacier express. I’m assuming we would need to travel from Milan to St Moritz… and then take the express from there???? And we can use the half fare card to purchase that ticket??? Planning a Switzerland trip is tricky! Thank you for all of your help!

@AplinsintheAlps 3 ай бұрын

Woohoo, so glad you snagged our new Zermatt Guide! And you're right that you'd need to travel from Milan to St. Moritz to hop on the Glacier Express. (Note that it only departs St. Moritz in the morning, so you'd probably have to travel from Milan and do an overnight in St. Moritz) The Half Fare Card will work on the Glacier Express tickets as well. Sounds like a super fun trip to Italy and Switzerland!!!

@valeriesuwardi4506 Ай бұрын

Such a great video! Just curious, will I be able to meet the sheep on may? I will be visitting Zermat beginning of May.

@AplinsintheAlps Ай бұрын

Usually they're only there between June and September. And depending on the snow conditions, the trail may not be open in May. Check the Gornergrat website for updates!

Great video! What time of year did you film this? We will be in Zermatt on May 31 and not sure if we’ll be able to see the sheep on the mountain.

@AplinsintheAlps 3 ай бұрын

We filmed here in August! Not sure when the sheep go up into the mountains, but it probably depends on the weather. You can check the live map online to see where they are!

@kosterjm 3 ай бұрын

@@AplinsintheAlps Thanks. I don’t think they’re out on the mountain until mid June or even July. I have been emailing the barns to see if there’s any way we can see them the day we are there. Hopefully it all works out!

Can you recommend me which places to visit, dad and I will visit Switzerland in May with car, and all we care about are green hills and mountains, and lakes. So what are best places to visit? We don't care about cities.

@mecre8tiv 3 ай бұрын

@jana what backpack do you prefer? I don't one too large for a small back so what are your recommendations?

@AplinsintheAlps 2 ай бұрын

I personally use a Deuter biking backpack because it’s slim, expandable, and small enough to fit my waist!

Hi, if I booked the one-way ticket from Zermatt to Gornergrat but got off halfway at Rotenboden, do I need to buy another train ticket from Rotenboden to Gornergrat?🤔

@AplinsintheAlps Ай бұрын

Hi there! No need for an extra ticket! As long as you don't back-track or double-up on any sections you can stop halfway and then continue the rest of your journey the same day on the one ticket.

@pengqing8857 3 ай бұрын

Which part of the year was it ? Is mid June a good time to visit there plus the hike ? thanks

@AplinsintheAlps 3 ай бұрын

Hi! We filmed this video in August. But we think mid-June to early-October is the best time to visit for the summer season!

@flynnthestandardpoodle4576 3 ай бұрын

This video just came right in time as we are on our way to 🇨🇭 at the end of the month. You guys justified why I should pay CHF121 (train+zoom) for this experience LOL I am debating doing this over the James bond brunch, now you gave me more reason to do both HAHA If you guys were to choose, will you still pick Schilthorn? Thanks for all the wonderful contents ❤

@AplinsintheAlps 3 ай бұрын

Ooh tough question! Comparing the two (and assuming the weather would be perfect in both places), we'd choose Gornergrat over the Schilthorn. The views are just more unique (even though we still love the Schilthorn)!

Hi. Great video. May i seek your help on buying train ticket from zermatt to gornergrat? i tried to buy the train ticket via sbb app, found that the route is slightly different (missing Legendar) from what i saw in Gornergrat railway website. just wondering is it the same train if i buy from sbb app.

@AplinsintheAlps 20 күн бұрын

Hi there! We bought our tickets using the SBB app and they worked great. Not every train departure stops at Legendär, so that might be why it's not showing up. Hope that helps!

@AplinsintheAlps Ай бұрын

It really depends on why you're going! It's a bit between the Winter and Spring seasons, but prices should be a bit cheaper than during peak of Winter or Summer!
