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.

Agreed! 🌱🌱🌱

I don't usually comment (I will be from now on for the sake of the algorithm) I would love to see your channel grow in content and subs. All the way up Tom.

Amazing video and great channel! Thank you very much for them! Keep going! And hello from cold Russia) ps And thanks youtube recommendations)

I like your occasional "silent" vlogs. It lets me just relax, soak in the beauty of the surroundings and let's me think "It's going to be okay." BRAVO Tom!!

@jonathansumners6077 3 года назад

P.S. It's also nice to see you just enjoying yourself without feeling like you have to always talk to us. Just enjoying the beauty silently together.

Fantstic! Hope you get to visit some day 😊

@ashishkulkarni9783 Год назад

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

In this year and a half of no traveling, your videos are honestly almost the next best thing. Grateful to have discovered them.

@thornton 3 года назад

Thanks Jill, that means a lot.

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.

@marielosceballos5871 3 года назад

My heart! I've been in love with your films ever since I saw the USA one, but this!! The beauty and how you capture it!! I'm so sad now I'm at the other side of the world.

@Egrezzz 3 года назад

Absolutely gorgeous surroundings. Well filmed. A new place to go on my bucket list :)

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 :)

Breathtaking scenery, there. Very well filmed too, with excellent framing.

Oh, wow, this was beautiful. Thank you for the break-down of how to do this. It's definitely on my list now!

@GPUtest 11 месяцев назад

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.

@napoleonsdauphin 3 года назад

I can see why it's popular - ride up, ride down, and ridge in between! I bet that water was worth every penny, huh? ;-)

@thornton 3 года назад

It was something like 3 francs... and I’d do it again 🥵

@caminossuizos 3 года назад

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!

@solomongabert6776 3 года назад

Very nice. Enjoyed the scenic views from the ridgeline all along this hike. Likely a good idea to get in the habit of bringing more water along haha.

@prosperouspsw 3 года назад

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 RU-vid algorithms, your hikes are becoming epic

Awesome video again Tom! I’ve just uploaded my first flight since lockdown video going to Spain! I can’t wait to travel again from one country to another! Very happy watching this tho it’s soo good! Beautiful piece

@bonitoclub 3 года назад

Loved the video, I will add this to my "one day" travel list! By the time we can travel again I figure my broken ankle will be well and truly mended, although I'd better plan some walking practice. I remember seeing the Stoosbahn funicular on one of Tim Dunn's railway tv shows.

@lorraine2995 3 года назад

Many thanks Tom. Clearly you've got your fitness sorted! What a spectacular day out. How can Switzerland 3 top those views?

@thornton 3 года назад

Haha it was a struggle, but worth it. What if I said Switzerland 3 has some spectacular views of it’s own... AND a dog? Not bad eh 😅😅👏

My friend, no orange in the world can top that one. Early morning, 0 degrees celcius, sitting on a bench in Coney Island... it was so tasty

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?
