This video has subtitles for the talky parts :) So... Switzerland 2! Guten Tag everybody. I hope you're all doing well and that you agree with me that this is one of the most beautiful spots on Earth!
I had a lav mic on for the end part, but it didn't work for some reason, so it's only camera audio... I hope you can hear it, otherwise I've put subtitles / closed captions that you can switch on on the video player. And I will try my best to avoid tech problems in the future :)
Thanks so much for the reaction to Switzerland 1. Love ya
This is me hiking the Stoos ridge, which is probably the best day hike from Zurich, or even the best day trip from Zurich. I got the bus to the Schwyz Stoosbahn and went up the Stoos furnicular, before riding the chairlift up to the start of the Stoos ridge hike. I hope you enjoy this hiking film and travel guide :)

I quite enjoy the “silent dialogue”. It really lets you appreciate the destination, rather than have a guide try to up-sell you on the travel with all the chatter.

Thanks for posting! fellow Brit here living in Switzerland. Appreciate you posting the vid, always wanted to try this hike out. Something worth visiting if you ever go there again… there’s a stunning small lake in the stoos mountain village. Crystal clear water, really gorgeous. In this heat, on your way down, it’s perfect for a swim afterwards.

I personally really liked this 'no dialogue' format. Very calm and doesn't distract from the gorgeous views (very well shot and edited!). Yes, those time estimates on the signposts are for Swiss people (who start to hike at the same time they start to walk), we shouldn't rely on them (though I need to say I managed on a couple of hikes to keep to those estimates). In terms of hardest 5 miles of your life, well, this trail seems pretty tame. If you want a taste of how an actual challenging Swiss hike looks like, try Griesalp-Kandersteg section of the Via Alpina :)

Reminds me of the Munich Day trip to Walchensee…you take the Herzogstandbahn up the mountains and then hike up for about an hour to the peak to get 360 degree views of the Bavarian Alps and the two lakes side by side…Walchensee and Kochelsee

Oh my, now I magine how many times he had to go back to grab the camera and thus hiking that part 3 times. Unbelievable. And I love the parts with no talking, it makes you appreciate more the place you're in. Been in Switzerland myself several times and I feel the same, can't express the feelings, just standing still and watching the view.

This was one of my favorite videos of yours. I wanted to go to a walking trail in New York just outside of Lake Placid that is the Great Wall of the West and The Ausable Chasam, but with Covid we had to cancel our trip. This so reminded me of the videos I had seen of people doing that hike, that I had to stay and watch yours, now want to do this one myself. I will comment if it brings up views in KZfaq algorithms, your hikes are becoming epic

@Daxvader 2 жыл бұрын

Oh man, love the shots and the music! I was there a couple of months ago and made a video as well. Yes, it is a short hike but a hard one. My plan was to walk down the mountain but I was so tired at the end that I cancelled it. Your pronunciation is correct. The reason why most people goes from Klingenstock to Fronalpstock is because at the end you can stay at the restaurant, rest and enjoy the view of the lake of the 4 cantons. Subscribed!

I am visiting Lucerne around May7-9 2023, i really like to experience a Ridge hike, but i checked the stoos page and it say only Stools-Fronalpstock is operating, but stoos-klingenstock is not operating until June10. Can i still do the same hike to the ridge there, like may be half way to it and return from where i come? Will it still worth?

@rizman6053 11 ай бұрын

This can be done in a day trip?
