In Austria we dont say: "Oh just let the brit who never even saw an actual mountain in his life plan the route - what should go wrong?" We say: "There you go, another bunch of lowlander-tourists got missing in the mountains, *closing newspaper*". No, im not even trying to be funny here. Tourists underestimating the dangers and pitfalls of alpine terrain leads to casualties in the austrian alps on a regular basis. Most of them in the summer. You can get an alpine guide if you are unexperienced. I strongly recommend.
1. Always check the weather in the mountains. Don’t underestimate it. 2. Sunblocker in the mountains is totally necessary. 3. Hiking sticks are great both ways up and down. Your knees will thank you. 4. Der Weg is das bloody Ziel. 5. No shame in using Komoot or other hiking apps. 6. Only drink water in the mountains if you’re above cow level. 😉 7. You know your dogs best but please watch out for them. Especially in the sun and with the climbing.
As a local I find this video hilarious and surprising how lost people unfamiliar with the Alps are. You turned around, and got back safely. Kudos for not needing a helicopter rescue! ❤
@richardharrold9736 Of course that´s subjective...I would maybe even agree if only women I knew were english. That sucks..like if the weather and "guests" weren´t enough...here in central europe she would be considered +-3,8.. and he seems to be +-7...greetings from Bohemia
As a Tyrolean, I generally ask myself why none of the amateur mountain hikers read the weather forecast. If it says there are thunderstorms in the afternoon, then you don't go on routes where you are on the mountain in the afternoon. The weather changes quickly and every time the mountain rescue team can save these idiots. Just a few days ago, there was a cold snap that had been forecast for days, with severe cooling and snowstorms in the mountains. Nevertheless, these idiots went up the mountain with inadequate equipment and then couldn't go back or forth. Not even the warning of avalanches by locals was taken seriously. Then the mountain rescue service can save these idiots or recover their bodies.
Even as a Lower Austrian (who has been hiking since he could walk in his diapers) you ask yourself that question again and again... people risk not only their lifes but those of the rescue teams that have to get up there to help them
I sometimes think it would be totally justified for the rescue teams to not go on the mission in these cases when it is too dangerous for themselves. I remember that story as well and as someone from Vorarlberg it made me mad haha Fucking Piefkis.
Garda lake area Italian here. I do enjoy spending time on mountains. My first "long stay" time was with my grandfather and his sheeps on the Adamello group during summer vacation, something like 40 years ago. Morons always existed, but the way people approach Mountains is gone south. The sense of danger, being responsible, being considerate, being careful, all of this, in the years has been washed away. Nowadays trails are more like normal roads, runners, bicycles, pets, noisy subhumans wearing slippers. So much changed in the years. I'm happy to see more people enjoying Mountains, but at what cost? Trash everywhere, noise, more accidents (I still find difficult to accept having riders coming at full speed, so many don't understand how to control their bicycles) meh, I really miss the silence, luckly early morning is still good.
Please be careful when you hike through pastures filled with cattle. They seem nice and friendly, but nearly every year people get severely injured or die. Especially when you hike with dogs, since you don't know how the cows or your dogs will react.
I mag gern die Art und Weise, wie Ihr beide miteinander kommuniziert! einerseits ist witzig aber andererseits auch eine sehr nette Energieaustausch. Auch wenn es um kleinen Nicken oder Zuwinken geht, sieht man diese liebende Harmonie. Super spannendes Video jedoch, vielen herzlichen Dank :) liebe Grüße aus Wien
Happens a lot in Colorado as well. The best advice I can give to tourists hiking in remote areas here is to go with people who know the area and can read a map, or at least invest in an EPIRB (Emergency locator beacon). And always tell somebody where you’re going and when you expect to be back.
10:12 my father always used to say the following, when we were hiking in the mountains and wanted to take a shortcut (a rough translation): "a path is the quickest connection between two points. If you take a shortcut (abkürzung) you will arrive later or not at all". I had to think of that when you took the Abkürzung.
Aaaaah, I love it!!!! As an Austrian who has lived in England and is now living in Germany, it’s been a lot of fun watching your Austria edition videos. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm a German living in Austria. Once my partner and I took the "mid level" tour down the mountain, because I thought 'what could go wrong with mid level?'. I ended up fearing for my life on the slippery slope down the mountain and had to be coached by two Austrian retirees how to properly walk downhill. Since then I have hiking poles and a big deal of respect for Austrian mountains. ;-)
I am a bit confused about all the people critizising your hiking style, I believe you guys were quite resposible (tourned around in time, good equipment such as rain jackets, boots etc) and everyone takes the wrong path sometimes. The most important thing is keep the spirit, keep enjoying the view just as you did. Love the video, love all those inside jokes and Liam's reaction to the cow on the pillow really cracked me up. Can't wait for more!
yeah! Hiking in a thunderstorm on an exposed moutain slope is SO MUCH fun. Seriously, that could easily have ended in a dramatically different way. And don't even get me started on the dogs-near-cows issue.
Thank you so much for taking us with you!! 🧡Highly enjoyable, and I loved the banter. And with the doggos?! Be still, my heart... 🥰 Please consider making more of these, it does not have to be a a big trip to somewhere, a daytrip to anywhere closer by (Goslar, Harz Mountains, Heidelberg, North Sea Island, etc) perhaps? Cheers
Well today we had snow in Vorarlberg.... last week it was 30° now 50cm snow in St. Gallenkirch 😅 Many german hikers ignored the weather warning and had to be rescued in the snow 🙈🙊 german hikers are the craziest 🤐 british hikers are... i never heard of brits hiking 😂 at least my brit living in Vorarlberg for 17 years now, doesn't hike ever.
9:57 That kind of bowl right there I’ve heard tell of. It’s called a cold sink. That’s why there’s still snow there. At night, even in the summer, it’s the second coldest place in Europe. I learned never to build camp in a place like that because you’ll freeze to death. The alpine areas are full of these cold sinks due to the presence of limestone.
I know, right? (Well, I don't live there, but I always go climbing and hiking there in the summer and it's gorgeous! especially the Hochjoch area with the Klettersteig and the "Seetalhüsli". Also, in the Nova Stoba, which I believe was the location Liam wanted to go to in the end, they serve the best Topfenstrudel!)
What a beautiful landscape. I only know the snowy version because I've only been there for skiing so far - frequently enough to know all the routes by heart. 😅
I was in "Ötztal" (Austria) last week too with my girlfriend and a couple of friends. The last week with good weather, it was perfect timing. Loved it there, always good being in the mountain and marsh like a good german should 🤣
Tübingerhütte ist echt schön geht am anfang von der Bergstation runter und dann leicht aufwärts rein und am ende dann nochmal richtig steil hoch aber die haben echt gutes essen und eine sehr schöne aussicht über das Ganera tal
loved the editing, commentary and music choice, you two had me smiling and chuckling throughout the whole video, the sense of humor you both have complement each other making it for a wholesome fun video :) excited for part two!
Oh I absolutely love hiking in Austria! The last time for me was > 30 years ago (~1992) up near Judenberg. I have fond memories of hiking with family - including our dog, Renman.
These two are so cute, so adorable, I wan't to pet them and give them treats and cuddle them lots and let them lick my face, they are just too sweet! The dogs are not bad either.
I recommend the EVY Technology SPF 50 or the Riemann P20 Sensitive Skin SPF 50, if you don't want to cream (heehee!) as often. Those last up to 10 hours and are water and sweat resistant.
Literally the first vlog i have seen whole. Vlogs usually feels boring to but not sure why this one of yours is great. Hope u guys make another one in future 💪🩷
If you get the chance to do a Klettersteig, absolutely go for it! It's so much fun. Though you need to be a bit fearless, I guess. Especially not scared of heights.
You're so lucky to live there! I always go there in the summer and it's absolutely stunning. However, I guess the many tourists can be quite annoying for locals.
A good hiking staff is essential for mtn hiking. It helps you climb and descend and stabilizes you on slippery terrain or in creeks. You can also use it as a balance pole for crossing a log.
If you must bring your dogs to a mountain hike (please think twice about it), please always have them on short leash. While in some areas having your dog on short leash compulsory (you do read the signs, right?), it is always anoying and stressy for other people that meet your dogs to check out if they would like to get near to them or not, especially when kids are involved. And if your dogs are not leashed, they do not have the choice. Most people would not complain, and some dog owners can be really sensitive when being critisized. In my experience, most hikers without dogs prefer to not meet hikers with dogs. For sure you love your dogs and you are 100% convinced they would never harm anyone. But all other people do not know your dogs, and do NOT trust them. One wrong step, one sudden turn of the dog, one tip on the paw or tail, and they are startled, and their natural reaction is to snap. Had my share of that, it just happens. And you (both dog owner and person meeting the dog) are never prepared! You do use your seatbelt in the car, right? So use a leash. Always. It's worse on narrow paths and ridges, so please refrain of taking dogs on these. Of course no climbing routes (too much stories, like from Punta Venezia 2024-04-27), no via ferrata. Most of the injuries or deaths by cows on alpine pastures have dogs involved. So observe the basic rules with pastures: dog on short leash, and if a cow attacs, let go of the dog (the cow is most probably attaking the "wolf", and the dog can run faster than you or the cow). But best do do not bring a dog. So is there any really good reason to bring your dogs on a mountain hike? Please think twice.
Things I didn't know I needed: travel vlogs by Liam & Valerie

All I know is to never set up camp in a place with no trees because it freezes overnight.

They also weren't chased by cows even though they didn't have the dogs on the leash. Not all tourists are that lucky.

They should have them on leads, especially if the cows have calves, and sheep farmers in Britain certainly don’t like free running dogs.
Fun fact: more people are killed by cattle than by sharks.

At the latent as it started to thunder it would have been time to hurry.⛈️🌩

lovely to see that you visited our beautiful "Muntafu".

Hope more people see this, this vlog was great. Love the dogs as well.
How can you both be so German and British at the same time? It hurts my head.
You are both wonderful together.
I loved it! You guys are funny and charming. Also, the views are amazing!

The Tunnel behind the Border i take pretty often....the view you had afterwards is my view from my Flat in Swiss :D
Blöder Angeber😊
That was ace, I will watch the rest for sure
I'll watch you guys get mildly lost hiking around the world if it's this good, you are all so fit too!
Tolles Video! Fand's total schön, euch beide mal gleichermaßen zu sehen . Sieht aus, als ob ihr einen tollen Kurzurlaub hattet. Weiter so !
Thanks for taking us along , quite enjoyed to watch ! 🥰
Omg I didn’t know they had dogs! So cute ❤❤❤
Did we know they have dogs!?!? They both just couldn't have more of my admiration. Loved this video immensely for being real life ..
This was fantastic. I'd definitely like to see more of these. In Germany, Austria, UK, anywhere you go, would be great i think
Waiting patiently for Part 2!! ❤❤❤
This is a great partnership. Two folk travelling life's path together. Alles is gut.
That dad joke with "mühe" tells you that Liam is really proficient in our beautiful *cough* german language.
Beautiful dogs! Great to see your journey.

Look at that view..
and the mountains aint bad either 😁😁😁😁
A nice little Spaziergang up the mountains!
Thanks a lot for this video! I love to see you guys together!!!
Be careful, we austrians often joke about (german) tourists getting lost in the mountains, but it actually happens often.
A Brit and a German in the Alps?
Oh boy, I can see the newspapee headline already, when they were picked up by alpine rescue 😂😂😂
These two are so cute, so adorable, I wan't to pet them and give them treats and cuddle them lots and let them lick my face, they are just too sweet!
The dogs are not bad either.

"Every 30:minutes i have to cream" the slowmotion got me laughing. 😂
