Thanks for video, my travel just finished and your tips were spot on :) I sat on right side, and when a gap came on left side to Interlaken, i was 'damn maybe i sit wrong', but later it turned out to be amazing. Images were epic. The train ride too. The mountains have a very specific look here that i didn't see elsewhere in the massive alps. A certain combination of swirly rocks, grass and trees in a balance that you rarely see.

36000 images (most are sets of 6-20 to secure a 'tripod sharp image without one), and about 50-200 video takes (very new for me but excited, especially my video's from Aare Gorge excite me but rest as well). The holiday was amazing, did almost everything i wanted. Had a zero cloud day when i went to Junfraujoch (and maxed it out there by walking to Monchjochhutte). Went Oechinensee, Harder Kulm, Hardergrat (Augstmatthorn, schnierenhireli), Brienzer Rothorn, Luzern, Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen, Thun, Underseen (Interlaken), Aareschlucht on rainy day, Giesbachfall/Iseltwalt. A chill day at sigriswill (steep town though!). Ps shortly i though because some images were taken in blatent sun and a bit overexposed that Schyniche platte wasn't worth it, your video proved otherwise, and glad i saw it :D@@SwitzerlandInsider

An excellent video, great information! I hiked from Schynige Platte to First not too long ago but "cleverly" skipped the ridge walk 🙂It was still a great hike, about 6 hours. I brought some water and a sandwich with me but about halfway through there is a nice place to sit down with a great hot meal: Berghaus Männdlenen. I took one of the last gondolas down to Grindelwald and it broke down, so I ended up dangling from the rope for over 10 minutes, it was very relaxing!

@HandbagswithHeather Жыл бұрын

skipped the ridge walk? tell me more about this what is the best way to fit it all in. We wanted to do platte-ridge-faulhorn-first-train down idk now

@JanPBtest Жыл бұрын

@@HandbagswithHeather I only meant that I didn't research the layout of the trails near the Schynige Platte train station and simply went straight ahead. The straight-ahead trail does not cover the ridge portion (they both join together a bit later, before Loucherhorn). So it was a case of not studying the trails ahead of time (that's why I said "cleverly"). The walk is great. Depending on the time of the year, there may be patches of snow here and there, so use shoes with decent traction. And check when the last gondola to Grindelwald runs or else it's a pleasant but long walk down (this I did do research before the hike).

From my series of comments today, You can tell, i am on a binge watch of your Swiss videos. This is another fine video and a place to visit. We will be in the region from Aug 3rd week for 2 weeks and want to get as much out of Switzerland. Since you did this trek from the train station, how long the trek was to the Oberberg view point and was it hard?. I can do it but my wife has limitations due to her bothersome knees. Any info to share will be greatly appreciated. Once again thanks a Million for your fine information.

The hike is about 1h if you take it slow. It‘s not steep but you walk on a narrow trail so need good balance! To go up that rock you need to be able to climb steep stairs. The other viewpoint is much easier to reach and should not be a problem! I wish you a great trip!

Hi! Thanks for subscribing I appreciate it a lot! The Schnyige Platte Bahn only starts running again on July 1st as per website. These touristy trains run everyday (given they are in season). If you are in the region you can use the Wengernalpbahn (also coghwheel) from Grindelwald or Lauterbrunnen! Hope this helps 😊 i will post more videos in the future and will cover the Jungfrau region, so you will know for sure by then 😀
