I'll admit I didn't think, after the stunning Greek isles, you could offer more "beauty overload" but, boom! You have done it again....what a wonderful and vibrant terrain....that walk was so worth it....the whole experience....fabulous.

@fromthethrone Год назад

It's so amazing how in one moment you are in hot Greece and in the next moment you are in Switzerland Alps. You.are moving so quickly that I can hardly follow you 😊

Oh Lord ,Mr Traveler! Zermatt in Switzerland , is a land and mountain scape painter's paradise ! I'll bet the air there is so fresh and crisp ? What a stunningly beautiful location in which to film and discover ... good man !

@dream.machine Год назад

I absolutely love Zermatt! I first found out about there back in 2013. I have always wanted to go there. Epic video 👏

@conniedean3787 Год назад

Wow Zermatt is so beautiful, so glad you make these videos , I have been to Switzerland, but wish I went to this town, the views and Matterhorn were amazing.

@tktraveller9461 Год назад

Zermatt is my favorite place on Earth, although I haven't been to all that many countries yet. I've only been twice but it's somewhere that I'll never forget. My most recent trip was in September 2022 and despite rain two of the four days I was there it was amazing. I'm sure you've found the information office by now it's near the train station and they should be able to give you info on all the fantastic hikes in the area. I think the best view of the Matterhorn is if you take the Gornergrat Bahn. There are also a number of hikes that start from different stations on the way up or down from the Gornergrat that are fabulous. Enjoy!!

@Ojstra Год назад

I agree, one of your best hiking videos so far. I hope that you will have good weather when you will hiking around in these Zermatt days. Gornergrat and Klein Matterhorn are amazing but not cheap.

@RLX5201 Год назад

I'd just like to say that hiking from Zermatt to Gornergrat and back isn't too difficult, but is one of the most epic all day hikes I've ever done

@KingMK31 Год назад

@MilaTheTravelJunkie Год назад

That is an epic walk!!!! Those little restaurants so quaint! For sure the beer with the best view. I did few years ago some walking around st. Moritz after I took the Bernina express, which is unforgettable! I found Switzerland one of the most relaxing places, especially when doing trails.

@CaptainOatwright Год назад

Totally agree that train ride to St Moritz is one of the best in the world imo 👍🏻

@marinabassi3767 Год назад

Happy you like my home country! I'm from the French speaking part, though. The "Gabe magic" managed to make me discover Zermatt and its trails, I have never been there. But the most important, you introduced me to Pink Floyd's "obscured by clouds" album. I love them and didn't know this one, so thanks a lot!

@MrBoxer1200 Год назад

I was in Zermatt a few years ago on a train tour of Switzerland. Took the train up to the view point of The Mat. and just got one glempse of the Horn when no one else saw the view I did . Super coo once in a lifetime thing.

@VKS4life Год назад

Breathtaking footage! The Matterhorn is truly majestic. Just wondering, does your right arm ever get tired from all the filming while hiking or biking? It looks painful, but hopefully not. I guess it’s the ‘price you pay’ for your awe inspiring vlogs. Thanks Gabriel!

You can take the Matterhorn Express - gondola - all they way up to the base of the Matterhorn, above the clouds if it is cloudy in the valley. It's a great place to have a beer!

@ageoflove1980 Год назад

Its just crazy how expensive Switzerland has become. Gabriel really nailed it when he explained how strong the Swiss Franc is. Back in the day I used to go skiing with my dad in Davos, another amazing mountain destination by the way. That was back in the 90's when the Dutch still had the Guilder as currency. 1 Swiss Franc used to be around 1.30 Guilders. When we got the Euro the official exchange rate was one Euro for 2.2 Guilders. That was around the year 2000, so a Swiss Franc at that time was a little under 2 Francs for a Euro. Now.... the Swiss Franc is around 1 Euro... This will also tell you how crazy the inflation of the Dollar is. Because the Euro always was around the same value as the Dollar and still is, so even the Dollar devaluated almost 50% towards the Swiss Franc. When you look at the British Pound its even more crazy and going toward 60-70% inflation in about 25 years compared to the Franc. Now this doenst reflect actual economic performance because thats a whole other matter. In some cases a strong currency can even be a massive liability because it means you are expensive for your customers, however this doenst have seem to hurt the Swiss that much because they still have a massive trade surplus. "Swiss made" is obviously a mark of quality so people are prepared to pay more for things that are made in the country.
