Thank you, Kraig, for taking me with you. I haven't been able to hike for ten years and it is my true love. I miss it so much. Even when I hike in person, I am a silent hiker; I want no chat, just the wilderness to speak. You take me where I cannot take myself. Bless you and all your journeys.

I went to Grindelwald around the same time. It was my first time outside the U.S and was an experience that I will never forget. The grass was green, the air was fresh, and the water was clear. The view of the mountains was absolutely stunning and I was mesmerized by how massive they were. One of my favorite destinations while there was mount Schafler in the eastern part of Switzerland from the top I was able to see Germany and Liechtenstein and the town of Apenzell. Hope to visit Switzerland again in the future.

Well I've lived in Switzerland almost all my life. I'm extremely familiar with the area you visited and I must say, the perspective you offered not only from the drone footage but also the trails, makes me look forward to next year when i once again return. Yes, day hikes are great, but all the crowded cable cares and gondolas may offer your legs comfort, however it's mentally draining. What you accomplished is seeing the off-track places, away from the tourists in the middle of one of the world's most visited places. Also the food shots.. damn, no idea who you made that look so good. Fantastic job. Thank you my friend.

I was in the Swiss mountain military in the 1980's, I can give you a lot of places in the Swiss alps where you won't see anybody away from touristy places, some places so beautiful the Natives will actually not telling tourists about them to keep them for themselves. Lived in Mürren around 2015, Maloja 2010, . Advice when hiking alone in Swiss Mountains get a REGA/Air Glacier Swiss rescue helicopter membership-sponsor, and the numbers to call, get a working cell phone and extra batteries, also Swiss Alpen club membership and their maps, you can stay at a Swiss Alpen Club SAC hut for around 60Franks+2 meals and clean dormitory. When interested in more advanced Blue Hiking would be Grindelwald to Schreckhorn passing the Schreckhorn Glacier staying at SAC Schreckhorn hut.

Hi Kraig, it was a pleasure to watch my “home” through your eyes. You’ve certainly picked the two busiest and most touristy hikes in the Jungfrau Region😅 There are cable cars everywhere in the Bernese Oberland, or in Switzerland in general, and you can use them to your advantage for day hikes. Just take one up above the tree line, hike 20 or 30km, and ride another one down back into the valley. You can use pubic transport to get to almost any place, and back home again in no time. There is no need for car, which is fantastic. Hope you’ll be back one day for some more hiking in this amazing region, there is so much to explore without the crowds! Looking forward to your new style of videos with more interaction and jokes, just like you’ve mentioned at the end of the video. Kind regards from Interlaken!

Hey Stefan, I found Kraigs video because I am planning a hiking trip to the Jungfrau region in a couple of weeks (October 4-7). I will hike solo and tent along the way. was planning to take the train from Zurich then start hiking in Interlaken>schyngee platt>bachalpsee>schwarzhorn>gletsscherschlucht rosenlaui>meiringen. then take bus and train to Vals where I meet a friend on Friday. It will be my first time in Switzerland. I will bring a 4 season tent & winter camping sleeping bag & gear. I expect cold conditions but hope the hutte's are open for lunch and dinner along the way, so I don't have to carry too much food. Does this seem like a good plan? Or would you recommend anything else? thank you. Steve.

As an european inhabitant i would really recommend you the region of Northern Friuli in the Italian Alps. Its just an paradise on earth with beautiful mountains, endless woods, romatic little villages and overall very less tourists. Just take a look at google pictures type in "friuli alps" and you will know what i mean.
