    Thank you for not putting in a bunch of background music.
    The natural sounds are so much better. Hearing impaired people have a difficult
    time discerning words from music, could understand every word, Again, Thank
    you.

      I agree. It is the REAL experience that doesn't need to be hyped. When I took this trip it was pure bliss and excitement. So hard to describe the joy. I was there in October. There was more snow but the days were still very nice.

    We take a lot for granted don't we. This marvel of engineering has been constructed in the middle of nowhere in the mountains of Switzerland. I would be totally fascinated to see just how they did it. How did they dig the footings for each one of the towers and how did they get the concrete there let alone the towers themselves. How did they get those huge steel beams up there 🤢Hats off to all concerned.

    This video brings back some wonderful memories. My wife and I spent our two-week honeymoon travelling Switzerland by rail in 2006 - Geneva, Lausanne, Montreux, Interlaken, Lucerne, and finally three days in Zermatt where we went on this cable car ride. We had unbroken sunshine for the whole ride from Zermatt to the Klein Matterhorn summit, and we were treated to the most fabulous views. On the way back down, we got off the Gondola and walked back to Zermatt from the first station as it was such a lovely evening. I won't forget the waterfalls, the marmots, the colourful alpine meadows, and the sound of cowbells reverberating across the valley. Now I want to go back. Bliss!

    My wife and I took this ride in 2019. We were on a Vacations by Rail tour of Switzerland, and it was probably the best trip we ever took. We also rode the Gornergrat and other cog railways, gondolas and passenger trains. The country is beautiful. Also took the Glacier Express, and the red train into Tirano Italy for a day trip. Highly recommend seeing this beautiful country by rail.

    We went to this place in the month of May 2 week 2016. It was a spectacular trip. The glacier ice started in the middle of the way. There wasnt any fog we could see each and every bit clearly from the top. The Gondola trip was amazing. Though it was scary but we would thorouly enjoyed it. One of the most beautiful ride was we went in train to jungfroch to see mount Alphs. The train went inbetween the glaciers mountain. Both side full of ice. The scinery was so beautiful and was snowing inbwteen. It was really a amazing trip. When you go to switzerland you must go to both the places, both the rides gives a different beautiful experience.

    I've been lucky to spend many weeks over the years in Zermatt. All during the winter and its a place like no other in the world. Taking the Tockener Steg cable car to the top is mind blowing. That last gap before you get in the shed is crazy, its super steep and very high. In the morning on a windy day with it moving around the cable car can get quiet. You exit out of the shed and then get hit with huge winds normally, strap in and head down to get out of the wind blast. You can ski to Italy from this Cable Car. Something about carrying a passport to get to lunch is so cool.

They had a bad safety record in the past, but this time they excelled themselves getting everyone down safely. The wind came out of nowhere, it had been some drizzle, then it went away and a strong wind started suddenly! That was a bit scary, but I knew one of the guys there and if they couldn't get us down safely they would have left us hanging and took us down by rope, not something I would have looked forward to, but they practice this a lot.

    Having seen this ride with snow. I can't help think how different it looks without the snow and with green grass. It really looks two different worlds.

    I love watching videos created by people who are genuinely passionate about sharing & showing you something thats truly amazing that we otherwise might not be able to experience ourselves, for whatever reason. This clearly qualifies as one. Ive grown so tired of videos where there's constant bombardment of pleas to like, support & subscribe to the channel all in pursuit of posting new content for nothing more than higher view counts and/or getting or maintaining internet notoriety. If there was more focus on content & presentation that would all probably come without having to constantly remind viewers. Thank you for not being one of those channels & allowing us these natural pleasures. Its creators like yourself, who have given their personal time & resources to open our eyes to the world around us & help in adding detail to our dreams of faraway places while also creating destinations for many bucket lists in hopes of experiencing those dreams first hand.
