Ready to visit Gornergrat?! (We're ready to go back again!) Add it to your itinerary using our 3-Day Guide to Zermatt, Switzerland: aplinsinthealps.com/guides/3-day-guide-to-zermatt-switzerland/

@jennstevens4621 14 дней назад

Thank you guys so much for this channel. It has been so helpful in planning our trip to Switzerland. We’re in zermatt right now after having spent several days in Interlaken. We keep going back to your videos to figure out our days’ adventures

@h-man605 7 месяцев назад

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

@AplinsintheAlps 7 месяцев назад

You're so welcome! And you're right that it can definitely be time consuming!!

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

@AplinsintheAlps 6 месяцев назад

You’re so welcome! It’s worth the walk down to see the sheep, in our opinion! 🐑🙂

@WereintheRockies 6 месяцев назад

Woo hoo! That was fun. Those sheep are so cute 🥰

@AplinsintheAlps 6 месяцев назад

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!

@AplinsintheAlps 7 месяцев назад

So glad this was helpful! Hope you get great weather and can make the most of your day there!

Thank you for your youtube and other resources (we bought the 1 week guide to the Jungfrau region) which were very helpful on our recent Swiss trip! We stayed 3 days in Zermatt as well, and walked down from Rotenboden into Zermatt on 17 June. Lots of snow on the paths to Riffelberg and many people were ill prepared. On track some snow still went waist deep. Riffelsea was frozen. Someone standing on it found the ice wasn't that thick and got rather wet! People were expecting sheep in conditions with snow everywhere! Just apply some due diligence whatever the time of year and especially outside of July and August. And you should have as good a walk down as we had. The food at Riffelberg was definitely earned!

@AplinsintheAlps 3 месяца назад

Thanks for sharing your recent experience! We’ve had so much rain and snow in June so it’s not surprising to read the trails still had snow. Glad you were prepared and were rewarded with some tasty food!

@mistercutts 3 месяца назад

Thankfully we got out before Friday and the horrendous floods, had wonderful sunshine and it is a place we need to return again soon!

@MrGreatplum 5 месяцев назад

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.

@chrichelle3912 Месяц назад

hey, great video! are the sheep always on the trek between rifelsee lake and riffelberg hotel?

@AplinsintheAlps Месяц назад

Hi there! They are not always in that location. In fact, we were just there this past weekend and they were near the Riffelalp train station. Hope you get to see them!!

@jytee5097 5 месяцев назад

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 5 месяцев назад

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.

@Soap-sk5mc Месяц назад

Your videos are so helpful! Just wondering whether it is doable to do Matterhorn and Gornergrat AND do a hike (1-2 hrs) somewhere half way in one day... or should we do two separate days.... Or just choose..... A peak pass is valid for only one day...gets more expensive for 2 days.... hence my question. Thanks!

@AplinsintheAlps Месяц назад

If you want to do these two excursions in the same day, look into the Peak2Peak Ticket. It's possible to include a hike...if you want to do this, we suggest going to Glacier Paradise in the morning and Gornergrat in the afternoon. Enjoy!

@Soap-sk5mc Месяц назад

@@AplinsintheAlps Thanks! I think the cost of it all has helped us decide to just do one of them, so we will choose.....

@AplinsintheAlps Месяц назад

Sounds like a great choice!!

@zanav138 7 месяцев назад

@kerrineilson597 7 месяцев назад

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 7 месяцев назад

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!!!

@sladjanivkovic2 6 месяцев назад

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.

@valeriesuwardi4506 5 месяцев назад

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 5 месяцев назад

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!

@chikodiamond2355 Месяц назад

Hi..we are going to zermatt this December..our 1st time really..we decided not to skii as i have zero knowledge on skiing..we do plan to take the cable car but dont know where to start?we plan to take a day tour via train..is that a good idea?may i ask for ur opinion?

@bgsnmky 2 месяца назад

Just curoius as it looks like there are multiple trails from Riffelsee lake t Riffelberg....did you take trail 21 which show is as Riffelseeweb (on the zermatt map) or did you follow 15B which connects to 23 to Riffelberg. (so confusing as there are so many options :-)

@AplinsintheAlps 2 месяца назад

We actually took a combo of both since we diverted to see the sheep along the way! And we recommend taking whichever trail passes by where the sheep are that day 😊🐑

@flynnthestandardpoodle4576 7 месяцев назад

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 7 месяцев назад

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)!

@robynplatenkamp751 6 месяцев назад

Hey Jana+Brett. Where do I purchase the pass from Eigergletscher to Jungfraujoch?

@AplinsintheAlps 6 месяцев назад

Hi Robyn! The easiest way is to buy it on the SBB mobile app!!

@FarooqF-g2x Месяц назад

During summer where you can find more snow titlis or Gornergrat?

@AplinsintheAlps Месяц назад

Gornergrat doesn't often have snow in summer, but Titlis does!

@FarooqF-g2x Месяц назад

Hi compared to Titlis which is better and cheaper experience?

@AplinsintheAlps Месяц назад

They're both so different! We're publishing a video on Titlis in the Spring so you could watch both videos and compare :)

@scotiabennett7747 4 месяца назад

Is this hike easy? We will be traveling with a baby so I trying to set ourselves up with only easy hikes.

@AplinsintheAlps 3 месяца назад

It’s a pretty standard hike, in our opinion. But if we were with a baby, we’d recommend riding down to Rotenboden on the train and then hiking from there to Riffelberg!

@jackjackgwee 3 месяца назад

Hi do you guys know where is the best to find Marmots? :)

@AplinsintheAlps 3 месяца назад

You can see marmots at the free Wild Parks in Interlaken and Brienz, or at the Stanserhorn near Lucerne. But we aren't sure where they'd be in Zermatt (we haven't seen them there)!

@helengraceadelante1059 2 месяца назад

Doable to take this hike from Interlaken and back for the night?

@AplinsintheAlps 2 месяца назад

Eh, maybe. But by public transport, it's 3 hours one-way. So that's a really long day to travel and hike and explore! In our opinion, we just recommend spending a few nights in Zermatt if you want to do this.

@GuyGabriel-eu7hb 9 дней назад

A historic area and the glaciers are amazing, but there are too many gondolas for my taste. If you want a remote feel on your Swiss hikes, go elsewhere.

@mandykwan1062 5 месяцев назад

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 4 месяца назад

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!

@charliee1956 4 месяца назад

Great information❤How much is rountrip ticket to Gornegrat from Zermatt village? Thanks much.

@AplinsintheAlps 4 месяца назад

Hi there! We cover that in the video, so be sure to check it out!

@kosterjm 7 месяцев назад

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 7 месяцев назад

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 7 месяцев назад

@@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!

@AplinsintheAlps 7 месяцев назад

We hope you'll be rewarded for your efforts!

@TheSonali016 5 месяцев назад

We are travelling end of April is it recommended to travel to zermatt

@AplinsintheAlps 5 месяцев назад

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!
