Believe me -- I have spent over 50 years traveling in Switzerland -- Cities and villages -- North, south, east, and west -- and it's beautiful. But Ticino is my favorite canton, with orange trees and palm trees, and many other unexpected delights.
I am not sure if it is of interest to anybody. But the reason why there are no people is that in Switzerland farmers have and had a three level farming strategy. Due to the steep mountains, there is not enough grassy flat terrain in the valleys to provide food for larger cow hearts. So farmers (cow and milk production) live during wintertime in the valley bottom with all their animals. During may month they take all the cattle and move up to about an altitude of 1500 meters. This is the second station (called Maiensäss). The cows then eat all the grass on that level. In July they move even higher up to an altitude of 2500 meters (called an Alp) and stay there until the end of August, eating up all the grass there. Then they move back to the second level until October, where the grass has regrown over summer time and then with the first snowfall they move back to the valley bottom. This system of cow farming is used since over 3000 years and is a very effective way to maximize the use of the natural resources in a very steep and mountainous region. The village you see is a second level settlement. If I look at the rainfall and the water quantity of the waterfall, it is early spring time in this video. Way too soon for the second level. People and cattle will come there in Mai.
Not to dispute your overall comment, but I don’t see anywhere near the village to graze cattle, unless all the wooded slopes visible on Google Earth were once open. No barns either, or perhaps cattle were never enclosed there.
@@MartinReiter143 Cattle were and are never enclosed on an Alp. They roam free in a heard structure. They never sleep in barns but out in the open. It is a special breed called „Braunvieh“. It is a small breed, with good adaptation on its hooves for steep terrain, resistant to rain and cold. They have pointy horns and can defend themselves. The breed is over 1000 years old. One cow has about the value of 3000 dollars. Often during the summer, some of them get lost or stuck somewhere. So then the farmer calls in his insurance and a rescue team with a helicopters fly out to get the cow, fix it on a harness and fly with it dangling from a long rope to the valley bottom. Many tourists can‘t believe their eyes when seeing our flying cows in summer time. It is quite funny to watch. There are small huts scattered over the mountains, where the headers sleep and where they make and store the cheese. Several farmers put their cattle together and send it with a hearder up to the mountains. This job us called “Senn” or “Alpsenn” and takes about 6 months a year. The rest of the year those men either work in the ski tourist industry or are just doing nothing. They are a special breed of men, used to solitude, fierce nature, independence and hard labour. The free roaming of the cattle is also the reason why Swiss cattle always wear very large bells around their neck. Not all of them but always the leading cow of a heard. This way the Senn can follow the sound when he looks for them. Other animals like goats roam completely free in the mountains and return just in winter time. I spend many summers on an Alp in a remote valley called Val di Blenio and I loved to wait in September, when the goats were returning. They are crazy for salt and we used salt to lure them in.
An amazing and serene, abandoned ancient village. A masterpiece of stone and wood construction, many many years ago. No roads, no grocery stores or retail❗ just beautiful little homes & awesome Nature.🕊💎🕊 Love the mystic of old Switzerland.(!)
Wow, I have been to Switzerland but never saw a place like this quaint and very serene place. I will have to see if I can find it on my next trip. Thanks so much for taking the time to share.
How wonderful to see this again! ❤ We passed through this lovely village during a long beautiful hike years ago. One of the most enchanting regions in Europe.
This is now my dream destination & I want to go there solo & peacefully explore & peacefully sit near the waterfall for hours & hours, no internet, no bother, I think my heart would feel a lot better.
Excellent video production and editing. Very inspired and talented. A true peaceful and relaxing pleasure to watch. Big, big like for this fantastic share. Hug.
❤🌹🌷 Bom dia my friend and bom dnia my Foroglio a danke my friend beautiful прогулку, Изумительная деревушечка очень красивая , очаровательные Alpes a водопад , красивые домики, и ручей , очень красивые пейзажи природы,❤❤🌹🌷🎊😊560
Magnifique , très beau village avec ses cascades et voir ce petit ruisseau et le bruit du ruissellement, j’ai adoré , merci pour ce beau partage , tu as été courageux pour passer ces petits chemins avec tout ces cailloux , merci 🙏 😘
Дай Бог чтобы беды и войны и впредь обходили стороной эти прекрасные места . Что бы не исчезла красота и не пропал труд людей построивших и сохраняющих это чудо .
I'm glad I traveled around Europe when I was in my 20's and healthy. Because as a 69 year old in a wheelchair now, I can't walk anywhere. Much less on those beautiful stone walkways that look like they would be very slippery when they're dry, much less if they're wet. So thanks for the Video Walk... It brings back a lot of memories!
Stunning…don’t know how you manage to climb those rock trails and film so smoothly..wish you would include temperature in videos..I’m always curious about that..
O q me encanta em ver esse lugar, é a organização, a natureza bem tratada, tudo limpinho, tudo bem harmonioso, nossa como queria viver num lugar assim sab.❤
Надеюсь, вы всегда здоровы и удачи вам в жизни. Позаботьтесь о себе, чтобы вы могли наслаждаться всеми замечательными вещами, которые может предложить жизнь
Bukan main anda seorang pemberani semoga sehat selalu n sukses...trima kasih vidio nya, jadi saya lihat di youtobe gak perlu keliling dunia lihat eropa..😁👍 Salam dari saya I am from asia indonesia 🇮🇩🙏
I have been to this area but not Foroglio, hike seems doable, on my list for next year, this year hubby and I are hiking on the other side of Switzerland, thank you for doing the hike for this video, would love to feel the water spray on my face! Take care my friend
From what I can gather, the whole of Switzerland is a gem 😊

Wow 💞 I can only imagine
Es una maravilla de pais.🇨🇭
The Basel canton kinda sucks ngl.
And one of the world's least diverse places. Let's hope it stays that way forever. Clean, orderly, and beautiful.
