Top 10 Places To Visit In Switzerland

what's up guys my name is Ryan Shirley and I just returned from a one-week road trip to the beautiful country of Switzerland and I want to show you my top ten favorite places so we're gonna start this video off in the beautiful mountains of Appenzell what I did is that landed in Zurich and I drove an hour to Appenzell there's this mountain it's called chez Fleur mountain and it is absolutely beautiful it reminds me of sasada in the Italian dolmens and anyways to get there what I did is I took the gondola from epitope up it was about $31 roundtrip and then from there I hiked to Chez Fleur and it took about an hour and you hike up to this restaurant slash Lodge and it's about $45 a night to stay up there meet my buddy Danny we said we stay up there is pretty awesome and we were able to film the sunset over this beautiful schaeffler mountain I mean it was incredible like one of the coolest sunsets in my life we were able to whip out the fpv drone it's not as crowded as other areas in Switzerland and it's just absolutely beautiful this Lodge was awesome it was $45 a night and from the viewpoint you can see three countries you can see Germany Liechtenstein in Austria and it was awesome so I'd highly recommend you visit here it is just one of the coolest places ever if you're not staying in the lodge make sure you make it back by 7:00 to the gondola so you can take a write down also in the area there's a beautiful lake you can visit one of the most beautiful restaurants in the world that's located in the side of the freaking cave I didn't go there because I have time but if you're in happens el you might as well so anyways that is it for Appenzell now for our second location we are gonna head over to probably the most beautiful place in the world in my opinion and it is the beautiful town of lauterbrunnen this is a valley of over 75 waterfalls this is where authors such as gr Tolkien got inspired for like books and sheíll or drinks and when you go there you're gonna understand because it is just absolutely magical it's as like little town nestled in this just valley with tons of waterfalls it is so green there's like cows all around and it's just magical I found this really cool park that had like a ping-pong table and just a bunch of cool things right at the base of waterfall we walked around we went into co-op store to get the swiss essentials like the chocolate and coke and we just walked around we had an awesome time I mean it was just such a magical experience so if you are in Switzerland I highly recommend you go to a lot of ruin because it's gonna blow your mind after a lot of brewing the next day we made the journey to the top of Europe to the infamous place of jungfrau Jacques I think that's how you see it but anyways so you walk away early and we took the train from a lot of ruin all the way to John for jock which is the top of Europe we bought our tickets normally but in the summertime it's about two hundred and forty dollars per person but if you go in the morning it is $120 for the early bird special so I highly recommend you do that to see if somebody anyways it's it's quite the train ride up the mountains you make a few stops and then you're gonna go through the mountain I'm halfway through the mountain you're gonna make a pit stop and you'll be able to get out and you can see the glacier I mean I've never seen a glacier so close up before there's a lot of mountaineer people that were making a pit stop because they're actually hiking across this glacier to reach the top so I thought that was pretty cool but anyways after that pit stop you're gonna get back on the train and you'll make it up to the top and you'll get off and you'll walk through a bunch of tunnels it was a little bit confusing for me anyways we got up to this it's called like ice plateau I think and we were able to get some really cool shots from there and there's no one there because we were the first people up on trade so that was awesome after we went to the top of the junker jock and we were able to get just awesome views of the whole entire area there was just this really massive glacier I mean it was just absolutely phenomenal there was a lot of people which I mean it's kind of a downer after that we were able to walk in the glacier tunnels and these are just spectacular it's these tunnels of ice you're able to walk through and there's just a lot of ice sculptures it's just a really surreal experience you can also walk around outside we found some other cool places there's some other activities such as like tubing and stuff but yeah it was just a great time up at jump for jock we took the train ride down we made a little pit stop and then we headed down to the town called wing in and a wing in is right above lauterbrunnen and the only way you can get there is you can only take a train or you can block there because there are no cars a lot of the city wagon is great because you are able to get a view of the lauterbrunnen valley that you're not really able to get in the town a lot of ruins we went up that beautiful so I'd highly recommend making a little pit stop and winging it if you can I know the tickets from lauterbrunnen Orly like seven or ten dollars for the train ticket or you can just hike up make sure you go there so after Wang in made our way down and we drove over to the other Valley up to the infamous town of Grindelwald now Grindelwald is one of my favorite places in Switzerland what am i love about Grindelwald is the view of Mount Meager it is like one of the biggest mountains I've ever seen it is just massive I was there about two years ago and I hiked to this this really crazy peak being able to get some of the coolest drone shots I've ever gotten I was able to get just brilliant views of Mount heidegger and also on the other side there were some really cool lakes I was able to film so yeah so I'd highly recommend making a stop to Grindelwald you won't regret after Grindelwald we headed over to the beautiful lake of always chin Nessie hope I said that right located by the city of candor snake it's about a 5-mile hike roundtrip it's a moderate hike but is very steep you're gonna walk up this road once you get to the lake your mind is gonna be blown I've never seen a lake was such a big backdrop as this Lake I mean the mountains surrounding it are so huge yeah I mean my buddy dad and we had it showered in days so he took the opportunity to take a dip in the lake swim around and just have a good time I definitely recommend making a pit stop here after Lake always Chinetti were ahead over to the west side of Switzerland to the beautiful town of Lake de la Rey it's about a two hour car ride from Geneva or about three hour card from Zurich you'll get to this town and you'll hike to this massive bowl when I did it I counted over 15 waterfalls I mean it was just blowing my mind we'd hike to the ball I was able to get some beautiful drone shots in the meadow and then I hiked up to the rock and I was able to fly my drone around I actually almost lost my drone here I was flying it and it ran out of battery and I did an emergency landing I had no clue world was at surrounding mountains have the highest peak in western Switzerland so after lady ablai weren't a head over to the beautiful city of Geneva this is one of my favorite cities in Switzerland I had the opportunity to live here for two months about two summers ago when I did an internship with human rights groups I made videos for them but Geneva is famous for having the United Nations it's just a really cool place a lot of action going on they have the infant jet day you basically just this giant fountain that shoots water hundreds of feet up in the air and it's pretty cool Lake Geneva is awesome I used to just go swim and hang out there in the evenings I found a sunken boat I used to always swim to I also found some cool places jump off the bridges into the water and I mean it was just a good time highly recommend visiting Geneva if you're in Westside is Switzerland after Geneva weren't head over to one of my favorite cliff gym spots in Switzerland to buy e versus K so virus Aska located in the south side of Switzerland near the town Lugano which is just borders Italy so you can drive this little Canyon here you get to diverse Aska and what it is it's these two bridges overhangs one of the most beautiful rivers I've ever seen it's probably this in the clearest river water in the realm I've been there several times I love jumping off that bridge doing some some backflips and then I also like to go swim in the water it is freezing cold but it's super clear and it's just a rejuvenating experience I'd have to say fibrous ask is one of my all-time favorite swimming and cliff jumping locations in the relative you're in southern Switzerland make the drive up there and you won't regret it so now for our final location we were gonna head to the beautiful town of zermatt zermatt is famous for the Matterhorn mountain so to get to Sir Matt you can't drive to the city itself you have to drive nearby and then you'll take a train up because there's no cars in the city and you get to town you'll be able to see the Matterhorn and it's just gonna blow your mind it's so cool you take a bunch of gondolas up to the Matterhorn or other surrounding locations I was being a cheapskate and didn't want to spend sixty two hundred dollars to get to the Matterhorn I do regret that so if you're going I would recommend you do it or get a Swiss pass and you'll be able to get discounts on the gondolas what I did is I found a little walking path that allowed me to see the Matterhorn and get beautiful drone shots and also I did some like flips and twists and splits in there yeah they also have McDonald's there so definitely recommend going there you have to see the Matterhorn at least once your life but that is it for my top ten switch them video if you like any of the shots I still sock footage on my website if there's a particular shot you want send me a PM on Instagram or email me on my email we can figure something out hope you guys enjoyed the video more vlogs more cinematic edits coming soon it's Ryan and we see you live [Music]
