This video inspired me to visit Switzerland and I did it. I was able to visit most of the places mentioned and I enjoyed it very much. Thank you Rick!. Out of the more than 30 countries that I have visited, I could say that Switzerland has beautiful countryside and is still the best country for me. I wish I could live there. It's to me, heaven on earth! Mabuhay!
Filipina ka, mabuhay din! Tatay ko Swiss nakapunta rin ako ng Switzerland and Mama ko Filipina, born and raised ako sa Philippines, now living in USA. Ingat & Mabuhay ulit!
I visited all these places in Switzerland in 1987 and again in 1989. Unfogettable experience.At Schilthorn I had a cable car ride to Piz Gloria and had coffee and snacks at the revolving restaurant.
Rick Steves' videos are a one stop shop when it comes to travel advice! My flight to Switzerland departs on Monday and I can't wait to get there, see the mountains, try all the food and beer, talk to the locals.
It amazes me how honest the Swiss are. I went there during the summer once and there was a field of all kinds of flowers and plants for sale where you can hand pick the ones you want and there was a tiny shack up front with nothing but a list of prices and a bowl with money in it. The shack isn't even manned, nor is the field fenced or supervised. People pick their flowers and literally pay at their own integrity.
Surely the most beautiful country in the whole world. I'm in love with the nature, the culture, the food... Everything!!!! I hope one day l can visit it.
Thanks Steve, a fan for over 30 years, ever since your first book EUROPE THROUGH THE BACK DOOR, my guide to my first European adventure. Before I leave this world, visiting this region of Switzerland would be a dream come true. Thank you for showing us a glimpse into such a paradise on earth so cherished and cared for by its people. If only we here in the U.S. could do the same.
Rick another excellent chance to travel and see a place I might never get the chance to see for myself. At 85yrs having lost my husband and precious 14 yr old dog, you help me with interesting travel and interesting dialog. Thank you.
Dear Cheryl, may you gain strength from these views of Paradise.All sadness will evaporate when Families are reunited in Paradise. John 5:28,29. Revelation 21:4,5. Hugs to your heart.
I have been to atleast 50 countries ,but I can say that Nothing like Switzerland- in terms of beauty,nature , cleanliness, people , engineering marvel and efficiency. Best public transportation in all of the world in Switzerland, overall Good quality and ease of living.
In 1971 I was touring around Switzerland in a Tanus Camper Van. We stopped for lunch at a Road overlook. We just began lunch when there was a rumbling behind us up the mountain. A cannon soon appeared & fired a shot high up into the mountains to start a small avalanche. Quite a surprise!
I've always heard about Switzerland being a nice full of nice people.. but watching this has made me realise what a lovely people they are. I will definitely go someday!! Love from England
Hello Stevens Thank you Stevens for the interesting and wonderful film from the Bernese Alps! There are many beautiful and unforgettable memories from my mountaineer! I wish you good tours! And stay healthy! With alpine greetings Raphael Wellig
Years back I stayed at the Gimmelwald hostel. Decided to stroll up the Schilthorn mountain. Didn't look so difficult so took only an apple, no water. 5 hours later I arrived at the summit, dead tired and dehydrated. Then I had to walk back down...😮 Great trip!
Iv been skiing in that area as its all under one ski pass, trains included. Its absolutely stunning! We arrived in the dark to out hotel and the next morning ate breakfast as it got light my partner said to come look at something... Omg I literally lost my breath at the North face of the eiger rising up in front of me!!!! It's worth ever penny to go there ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
this video inspired me to visit Jungfrau Region. the views are all well worth to see. I feel as if I am in another planet. Thanks Steve for sharing this beautiful video
This place is stunning beyond words. Brought the family there a few years ago, and we want to go back. We used Rick Steve's guidebook, which is a must. So many hints and helpful suggestions. Great job on the books and particularly this episode.
Thanks so much for your video depicting Eastern Switzerland ... I'm an American with many ancestors from the Alps region ... I appreciate the knowlege you convey.
Switzerland is absolutely beautiful very very scenic better than what we would see on pictures or videos.. ... had a very nice family tome out it was wonderful looking forward to visit again..
I've skied there at least a dozen times. We would stay in Kleine Scheidegg and I would lead folks down the hill to Grindelwald to catch the first train up at 7:28 which was the baker bringing fresh bread up to the hotel. One small correction though is that the jumping off point for climbers is not Kleine Scheidegg, it is Alpigen which is maybe 500 meters below Scheidegg on the way up from Grindelwald
We just returned from one week staying in Lauterbrunnen and we explored and skied in the Jungfrau region and it was wonderful. Like Rick Steves said, you don't need a car once you arrive. One pass (buy in advance online for a discount) and you can access all trains, gondolas and lifts as much as you want. Thanks Rick, your tips were invaluable to making our trip a 10 out of 10!
Back in 1997 I had the pleasure of visiting Lugano, Switzerland with a tour group. It was a great experience, Later I had the opportunity of flying over the Swiss Alps.
Hi Rick Steve, We all know that all your European Travel & Info videos were always ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. It will be really fantastic if all these wonderful old videos are all converted to 4K HDR
Dear Sir, When all the videos are so beautiful, imagining about my actual visit over their brings excitement in my routine life!! These videos creates the hunger to live, visit and see beauty in the globe!! Cheers!
Thank you Rick for sharing this video. I hope one day will come and I'll be visiting those beautiful places in Switzerland. Touring Switzerland is one of my best dreams for many years. Greetings from Tiberias, ISRAEL.
Until just a few years ago, every Swiss was required to study two of their native languages. Now, they have to study one of their native languages and English. Business.
@@JohnDoe-xl1ig thats not true, we swiss dont speak english, take me as an example, i really cant speak english and nobody is able to understand my english :(
I have been traveling to Switzerland for over twenty years for work. The amount of English spoke is a blessing for an American. I have a little French, enough for train tickets, food, etc, and just the common courtesy words in German/Swiss German but have always been able to get bye. Not everyone speaks English, particularly in the older generations, but almost all young people do and when they say "a little" it is simply them saying it is not their primary or strongest language.
Love the fact that these Swiss villagers are all trained in fire fighting just like ship crews and smoke like sailors. Both share extreme isolate where the nearest emergency help may be hours away so this makes perfect sense.
Rick, if I ever come across a presentation I think is not up to your par I'll let you know. So don't expect to ever hear from me on that account. All your travel docs show so much history, background and insight that they will endure and be informative for generations to come. You are unique. Thank you for your contributions to make this a better understood world.
I just started learning about this area of Switzerland. I thought I would check out if you had been there.I was so happy to find that you had.This is a must see video!!! Learning how to get around the area is very well explained!! Love from Vermont
We are planning a trip to visit our son in Switzerland this summer. While we have purchased the newest version of Rick Steves' Switzerland tour book (from the real store in Washington!), it was really nice to see it come alive on-screen.
Hello Mr Rick Steves, Thank you for giving such a wonderful information about Jungfrau Region. I have also seen your few videos. All videos are informative and with full of beautiful places. The presentation and narration is extraordinary. Keep sharing the videos of your visits as always.
Have always dreamt of going to the Alps. Have first thought of Chamonix on the French side but since watching this video I have made a conclusion. Thanks, Steve. Hope to see the Alps soon.
Mr. Steeve this was a gem of a video really made me live the moment with your mesmerizing voice and the beauty scenes. Excited to visit this region in coming days Thank you for sharing some insights into this video and keep travelling ;) Aufweidersehen!

You can just move there buddy
My bro & son doing it today…son just completed El Camino Santiago in spain & met in Germany😀
@@amaris5145 why? Leave the Swiss alone, they don't owe anyone anything and it is nice that one can visit.
In all fairness there is some stuff like that in the U.S.
I visited all these places in Switzerland in 1987 and again in 1989. Unfogettable experience.At Schilthorn I had a cable car ride to Piz Gloria and had coffee and snacks at the revolving restaurant.

Delicious food amomg the Alps is a slice of heaven
Pronam neben uncle, akjon bangali ke ei channel e dekhe khub bhalo laglo. Conveying my best regards to you :)

Absolutely gorgeous, God created such a diverse world
no diversity in people , that is why place is so good

follow up. what do you recommend to see and do? thank you
your favorite parts of the trip
It amazes me how honest the Swiss are.

like japan...
Incredible! Is that really true? That's quite beautiful.
Also the same but with crystalls.
It amazes me how other people are amazed about that fact. I always thought that'd be normal in every country. :P
The miracles of a homogenous society without third-world immigration.
I think the most attractive aspect is the peaceful and friendly atmosphere in the small village. so idyllic, so lovely.
Heavenly! .......nature,food, culture & people are awesome, the most beautiful country in the world.
Surely the most beautiful country in the whole world. I'm in love with the nature, the culture, the food... Everything!!!! I hope one day l can visit it.
imisin
Just finished watching this on television. I enjoyed it so much, I had to look for it here to see it again.
I want Rick's job!
Are you single I'm
Watch my videos 🙄
Wow i love the way she made that cheese 🧀 beautiful village 👍🏻
h mam how are you
been there , will never forget. keep europe like this.
Too late its over now. Chongs everywhere. And the Americans are back in force. Ruder than ever before...

Did this in 1998 and found it to be heaven on earth.
Hi Doug, I quite agree. Everytime you visit it robs you of speech. We just got back and can't remember a trip where we said "Wow" so often!!
Visited twice in early 80’s because of his book Europe through the Back Door and it was so beautiful and wonderful to visit!
Rick Steves' is the best travel channel on youtube, absolute class
Wow man, you look great! What kind of diet are you on?
I have been to atleast 50 countries ,but I can say that Nothing like Switzerland- in terms of beauty,nature , cleanliness, people , engineering marvel and efficiency.
Best public transportation in all of the world in Switzerland, overall Good quality and ease of living.
"A train on every track every hour."
Gondola is the way to go
@@terrimichaels3018 I like the gondolas up one side of Mannlichen, and down the other.
In 1971 I was touring around Switzerland in a Tanus Camper Van. We stopped for lunch at a Road overlook. We just began lunch when there was a rumbling behind us up the mountain. A cannon soon appeared & fired a shot high up into the mountains to start a small avalanche. Quite a surprise!

Dark Passenger ain't that the truth!!
my comment is agreeing with you
This place is stunning beyond words. Brought the family there a few years ago, and we want to go back. We used Rick Steve's guidebook, which is a must. So many hints and helpful suggestions. Great job on the books and particularly this episode.
7:40, fireman smokes a cigar while Rick talks about fire protection. Funny.
Fighting fire with fire ;)
This is not fireman, this cloun
Yes, that seemed like most unswiss behaviour
You noticed right
Fantastic, Thank to you for showing ME the Map of SWITZERLAND and showing the lot gorgeous HOUSES up close, Wunderful EXPERIENCE..THANX &&&
Thanks so much for your video depicting Eastern Switzerland ... I'm an American with many ancestors from the Alps region ... I appreciate the knowlege you convey.

Hello Steve you make documentaries like in television very professional i admire and enjoy watching a lot thanks
muchas gracias por este hermoso paseo por los hermosos paisajes de Suiza, un saludo desde Buenos Aires Argentina
Hello Monica
So grateful to live in Switzerland. I love 🇨🇭❤️. An amazing country.
Hey are you single
Seen a hundred videos on alps and Switzerland, but Rick's video is always a class apart
I love this series, especially Italy, Greece, Germany, western europe...so fascinating, it's like cities from antiquity.
I've skied there at least a dozen times. We would stay in Kleine Scheidegg and I would lead folks down the hill to Grindelwald to catch the first train up at 7:28 which was the baker bringing fresh bread up to the hotel.

Which pass did you buy?
Back in 1997 I had the pleasure of visiting Lugano, Switzerland with a tour group. It was a great experience, Later I had the opportunity of flying over the Swiss Alps.
I can’t believe I was here like 4 days ago with my mom and sister. We had such a wonderful time
Will visit this beautiful place soon... And thank you for the video
Very educational, and a superb video. Thanks you very much.

Rick: do you speak English?
Every Swiss person in perfect English: a little bit
Until just a few years ago, every Swiss was required to study two of their native languages. Now, they have to study one of their native languages and English. Business.
