Tolles Video. BRAVO & LIKE
Speechless ! Breathtaking and impressive scenic views. Its really amazing ang inviting. I love you Switzerland and hope to see you again.
great video.. we love switzerland
I have to agree… the most complete place to enjoy the Jungfrau region. The 360° panoramas are awesome. We enjoyed a cloudless day on our own at Daube this summer after the early train. It’s always a must-do when we visit. Thanks for your fantastic videos particularly this one.
VERY good and useful video! Vielen dank!
Amazing scenic video. Amazing views. Great information and great background music, great picture quality.
Beyond words
Amazing Tour! Keep up the good work!

Glad it was helpful!
Great video! Thank you. I'm going in Sept! Best & cheers, Sean
Hey Sean, I wish you an unforgettable trip!
Wonderful ❤
Thank you 😄
Thanks for making this video ♥️🥰 greetings from Pakistan
When I die, I would not be disappointed if Schynige Platte was my Heaven. It is so breathtakingly beautiful.
Great video. I like how there is such a small wire to stop you falling over the edge
Really nice, crisp video. Loved it over so many verbose videos here on you tube. 👏 . I am subscribing you for more such videos in future
Hey, thanks for subscribing! More videos will follow this year with more consistency 😊
Great video !
Glad you enjoyed it
I would be on my hands and knees shivering on the steep paths.
I was also on my hands and knees because thats the only way to walk this path 😄😂
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.
Thanks so much for coming back to the video and posting this comment! This means a lot!! I am super happy that my tips made you have an great time on Schynige Platte! ⛰️🚀😄 Hope the memories of your trip to Switzerland last for a long time!
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!
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
@@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).
Thanks for sharing you experience!
Wow}} Que lindo pero me gustaria la montaña
Del abuelo y Heide
Thank you for creating this video. The information you gave was done really well! We are planning to come during April, so I was disappointed to find out that this hike is not available during that time. It is so beautiful! Is there anywhere else that might come close with a ridge hike like this that would be open in April?
Thank you again!
If you want to be on a ridge overlooking a lake i recommend Bürgenstock. Its open year round. Also check out Creux du Van.
mantap bang
Thank you for introducing these less known spots. I'd like to know more places like this. For example, Stäubifall near Unterschächen, have you been there? It looks spectacular on the google map!
More to come in the future!
Wow! Your video just showed me the one hike I will not miss when my hubby and I go to Switzerland in late August 2024. Thank you! Question: about how much time (hours) should someone plan for this? Not the full hike to but rather than hike up and back to the second viewpoint in your video? I want to make sure I put plenty of time in our itinerary to enjoy this hike without feeling rushed.
Wonderful! This whole thing will take you maybe 5h if you really enjoy it! 1h up 3h there 1h down 👌
great video, so helpful with the details. please mention hoe much time it took for you to reach 1st view point and then the 2nd?
Maybe 30 mins to go to each if you walk easy
Thank you for a beautiful video! I only have 4 days & do you suggest I skip visiting Harder Klum & do this trip on the cogwheel train to S. Platt? 🤷🏻♀️
Maybe im a bit late to the party, if you only want to do one, do this one. But then again harder kulm literally takes no time at all. Maybe 2hrs
Go in July. The flower meadows are in full bloom & a riot of colour. Also recommend getting an early morning train (take breakfast with you). Much quieter first thing before the crowds arrive.
Very nice tip!
How busy does it get? I’m going End of august still deciding where to base as only there 4 days but really want to avoid crowds
At 7.02, I would name the 3 peaks as T"re Cime Suisse".
Typo: Tre ..
Hi, thank you for all the info. Was this filmed in August? In the beginning of September will the weather be as nice? Or more instable?
Yes it was at the end of august and the weather can sometimes be similar in september
Hi! Beautiful video! Do you know if you can hike to Grindelwald from here? as a day hike. I would love that
Hey, yes you can do a day hike but its long, maybe 6 or more hours. You can search this hike online or follow the yellow hiking signs, as I have never done it.
@@SwitzerlandInsider ok! Thanks!
Hi Greg, just stumbled on to your video today and I subscribed! Do you know what day in May will the cogwheel train starts running again? We are planning to come mid May 2024. Also, do trains run on Sunday or are they shutdown like the stores?
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 😀
@@SwitzerlandInsider We are also planning to visit Lucerne for a day or two. What restaurants do you recommend and what things should we not miss while there?
From where do you recommend us to buy online tickets?
Great video. Do they have toilet in the top of the Platte l? Thanks
There is a hotel and restaurant
Would be great to join you for the next hiking. What is your next destination if I may ask?
I dont know exactly yet but you can expect some new videos in June 😊
I came to Schynige Platte last month, but unfortunately didn't come to the viewpoints! T_T
How much time did younspend on the hike while your in the Schynige Platte?is it time consuming to the hike to see the view points? Thanks for your video,hope for your response 😊
No to go to here from the station is maybe half an hour if you do the complicated path and less that if you do the easy one
is the walking trail up there safe for elder folks ? thanks
I think you can make it, but to be 100% sure i would check with them directly so you can inquire specifically for your case 👌
Can you just turn up or do I have to book train in advance ? I’m going next month and trying to plan it
You just turn up, but if you want a good seat ie window seat, you might take trains early morning or at lunch etc. 😊 have fun!
How much does the second hike through Alpine garden take to reach the viewpoint Daube? Is it safe for kids ?
With kids maybe 30 mins,and yes kids will be fine but you need to tell them that there is no fence next to the cliff! So maybe keep them close.
Hallo Greg, do we need a reservation for this train? We want to ride the earliest/ first train up so we can hike all day, we have the B Oberland pass. Thank you, Jim.
No need for reservation (yet).
Hallo Greg, we just got back home, and we hiked this trail, you were right, it Is totally awesome. A beautiful sunny day too. Thank you, Jim.@@SwitzerlandInsider
That’s the heaven came to the earth. But the Schynige Platte trains offering this part of heaven are shabby and the rails are in bad condition. That’s no good offer from the BOB railways🙀
Hello. Is it possible to get to Schynige Platte on foot from Wilderswil or Gsteigwiler? without using the train
According to my research you can do a hike that is challenging that takes about 4-5hrs. But at the moment the route is closed due to falling rocks.
Thanks. ok, I'm going to Interlaken in June
Can you tell me what time the last train from Schynige Platte to Wilderswil leaves? there is no driving plan on the website yet
Is it simple to get from grindewald to this location? Not sure how the train system works
Yes you can take the train to Wilderswil (less than 30 mins), or you can even hike from Grindelwald First (5hrs). 😊
@@SwitzerlandInsider got it, thanks. So in Grindewald, I look for the Oberberghorn trail and that is the 5hr one?
No you are looking for the Grindewald First - Faulhorn - Schynige Platte. It‘s a one way hike! I plan on doing that hike this summer and make a video about it. So maybe it‘s before your trip 😊 but for this hike you will need to take a gondola in First and a cogwheel trian at Schynige Platte.
@@SwitzerlandInsider Sounds good. Thanks for your help!
I am afraid of heights, is this one too narrow?
It can be narrow, but I don‘t think it should trigger fear of heights. Also the train has stops underway, where you can get out and take another one back 👌😊
