Hi Paddy, I really liked the Philippines debrief. Can we get one for Switzerland?

[@swissyouthhostels]

Dear Paddy Thank you for your visit to Grindelwald Youth Hostel! :) We are glad that you enjoyed the great view of the world famous Eiger! In all of our nearly 50 hostels it is standard to check-in in the late afternoon. But you always have the possibility to deposit your luggage. All information about our services for your stay can be found on our website. Also, in our shared rooms it has always been standard practice to make your own beds. We are sorry to hear that this did not meet your expectations. We would be glad to welcome you again soon in one of our hostels in the most beautiful places of Switzerland! Kind regards Your Swiss Youth Hostels Team

[@PaulTAdventures]

I honestly caint get enough of Switzerland 🇨🇭 and your amazing journey that you are taking us with you . I have seen more of this beautiful country than ever before . Thank you paddy for sharing your experience with us.

[@PaddyDoyle.]

yeah it's a dream come true to travel across it this way.... more adventures to come!

How can this comment 4 days ago Sir?

[@christianeno3879]

I was happy to see you went up the Jungfrau. Isn't it amazing how they were able to build that train track inside the mountain 100+ years ago?

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Incredible

[@melissafrye76]

Putting the duvet in the cover is always fun.... 🤣😂🤣😂 These views are killin' me, man! No matter how many videos I watch of this particular area of Switzerland, I know that it has to be a million times more beautiful in person.... 😍

Done the Swiss Alpes years ago it's absolutely stunning place to see and be there in the flesh

[@watwat528]

My wife and me visited Grindelwald last year in December for the first time and we fell in love with it instantly. We will visit this year again and I do believe we will continue to do so every year. It is truly spectacular place to visit, hard to explain.

[@SpencerTownley]

Loving this adventure, Paddy! These videos are the best way to enjoy my Saturday morning coffee (I’m on the US west coast). Looking forward to the trek!

[@joannaneedler3073]

Loving this series, love all the other series! We actually rushed back from friends to watch it! When you have run out of holiday leave, this is a great alternative.

[@huwthomas6430]

Love it when you have a little moan, makes your experiences more real. But I have to say Switzerland is just...wow! I totally get why you hate crowds, they do sour the 'moment'...much better to find a quiet spot when a place is saturated with people. Thank you for another fantastic video Paddy 👍

[@PaddyDoyle.]

haha thanks!

[@curiousnomadic]

There's one interesting thing I've noticed and today people don't complain enough about the cost of things because we've been duped into thinking complaining isn't polite so that's why the cost of things is on a runaway train. We should howl like crazy or just boycott everything overpriced.

[@UnclePhillyMyAss]

Everyone hates crowds as if they should have some divine right to be there and no one else should.

[@UnclePhillyMyAss]

@@curiousnomadic Yeah try that in Switzerland you won't get very far. Its expensive because it is relative to wages AND how absolutely everything works perfectly.

[@curiousnomadic]

@@UnclePhillyMyAss Try it anyway. According to Paddy's experiences it didn't work very well. CH isn't Germany or Japan. Don't believe the fluff.

[@Nessyk01]

I like your honest take on travel ..no sugar coating 👍

[@svanteandreasson6874]

Stunning views and great footage as always. Thanks for bringing us on this fantastic journey. Hiking in Switzerland just got on my bucket list.

[@PaddyDoyle.]

thanks!

[@maritesvlogs96]

The silence and the amazing view makes it so wonderful

[@myles.o.reilly]

Great use of ambient in the closing scenes. Enjoyed the stroll to the hut.

Switzerland = Absolutely stunning! I’m really enjoying this series! Thanks for sharing! ❤️🎉

[@petrsimunek6517]

Amazing Switzerland, I live in Colorado at altitude of 3,080 meters, if healthy you will adjust the elevation in few days, our train goes up to 4,302 meters to the top of Pikes Peak

[@purplebutterfly5452]

I like it that you deviated from the usual fancy activities on Jungfraujoch - the Ice Palace, the Lindtt chocolate experience, the post office and gift shops - and instead hit the trail, walked on the glacier amid great views and peaks, towards the quaint perched-to-the-Mönch hut, the Mönchsjochhütte, a pitstop for climbers to Mönch, Jungfrau, etc. Just apt for "the next level adventure". You just made that very expensive daytour truly worth it! Acclimatization at Kleine Scheidegg could help prevent altitude sickness.

[@moksha2280]

Love every mintue of these series, thanks so much, with I was there...

[@twinflowerfioretta]

Oh my, Paddy, i feel sorry you had an unpleasently welcome in the hostal, making your bed is not the comfort we wish, lol Wonderful, you did the most splendid and magnificent travel to Jungfraujoch, wow ! It is on my list and wish to go up there. Super magnificent view, and the prize is perhaps because all the work they did to bring up tourists to the summit of Europe without any climbing gears, is just stunning ! Enjoy ❤👍great adventure Level top ! Thy !

[@alpsandcities]

Salute! An american pronouncing the place Grindelwald correctly. You really did research before saying places... we can learn a lot from you! Wonderful video!

[@mariojsworld]

Great travel report from Grindelwald and Jungfraujoch. I was in Grindelwald to film the sunrise today. Looking forward to next episodes.

[@Twittp]

Wow,the natural is so wonderful, the video is very good quality,thank you Paddy.

[@user-bl3mm3ue2q]

Staying away from the crowds resonates with us. We really enjoyed your video and appreciate seeing your candid comment and experience. Looking forward to the next episode. Go Paddy!

[@crashtextdummie]

Jungfrau Joch is one of those things that many, many Swiss people never get to experience. It's very expensive and doesn't allow for the usual discounts, and why would you willingly subject yourself to the most densely packed congregation of tourists in the entire country? Well, I am one of those Swiss people and I took the opportunity to go during the pandemic, when there were barely any international tourists. And it was 100% worth it. And I also agree that if you skip the hike to Mönchsjochhütte, you're missing out on by far the biggest highlight of the whole thing. It was an unforgettable experience for me.

[@Railwaylass]

I just stumbled across the videos of your adventure in Switzerland yesterday, whilst researching for our trip there next month. I was pleased to see that you stayed in the same place in Grindelwald that we are booked into, even the same room type. Nice to get an impression of what it is like and to actually have a visual of that incline so that I can psych myself up for it 😂I think that we'll definitely be taking the bus up the first part!

[@PascalKrauer]

Hey Paddy, next year when you travel again in Switzerland, buy first a ‘Halb-Tax-Abo’ with this all trains, ships and even Jungfraubahn and more cost you only 50%. Cheers from Phuket. Pascal

[@PascalKrauer]

At the moment you can get a halbtax for only 33.- Sfr valid two month and everything is 50%

[@barrypollard5933]

​@PascalKrauer Do you have a link? I thought that offer finished in April.

[@NickyDunn]

Hiya Paddy. A little behind. Went to Dorset for five days. Late check-in times are a pain. Putting the cover on the duvet. Turn the sheet inside out, grab the corners flip over. Saves ages doing it that way. 😁Mum tip there. Love you are always honest. I would be to having to make my own bed for that price. Amazing views from the cable car. Epic drone footage. Cluster F. Lol. It is always more magical when there isn't a crowd. Gorgeous views on your snowy trail. Eating the ice and that random fur baby. Love it. Cheers. Big ears. Your soup looked good. Cheese. 🙂🥰 Beautiful video. Love your videos. Sorry, it was not so enjoyable for you. Thank you for taking us along.

[@BironClark]

Appreciate you showing the crowds and not just taking selective shots that make it seem like you're alone up there. Thanks for the honest showing!

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Always!

[@kendjay2]

Great video, thanks for sharing your adventures. Have a great time!

[@ajarnsteve1958]

I can remember sking in Austria and Switzerland. Being up in the mountains, fresh air and fantastic views. Many people don't believe it when you say that you skied in only a t-shirt and ski pants because it's so hot around late morning and early afternoon !!! Loving this adventure, looking forward to your big hike Paddy.

[@travelertrome8449]

Paddy - Seeing you in snow is such an amazing change for the channel. Thanks for always keeping it real even in a stunning place. Really enjoying this series so far and looking forward to the big hike to Zermat!

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Thanks 👍

[@judittoth4527]

Switzerland is bloody expensive, even when I was there on holiday about 25 years ago it was very expensive. On the other hand, one of my favourite countries in Europe, just like Norway. Absolutely stunning! Very jealous of you Paddy 😁

That hostel is spotless! What a view too!

[@filipinaprades8589]

This is getting better and better. Still can't believe you in a short sleeve hiking in snow. There was a couple in the background, the lady was in short tights. How warm was that....the snow doesn't even melt.

[@MsSundis]

Absolutely stunning view of the mountin, appreciate the great work, so funny the way you aet the cheese with soup on top😂, wish you safe and keep it up✌

[@marycoyle5533]

We are just back from a week in Grindelwald and decided not to go to Jungfraujoch but hike on the beautiful trails lower down which were spectacular. Your video is beautiful but I'm glad nonetheless that we decided to give it a miss. Best wishes for your further travels.

Beautiful video Paddy,,,,peace and happiness as always Geff

[@lukaszepesi]

You can flip the cover inside out put your arms in it grab the corners of the duvet and dump the cover over it 👌. It's actually normal in Swiss hostels that you have to make your own bed otherwise the prices would be higher. I hope you still enjoyed your time though . 😊

[@tractordamage5272]

I used to ski in Grindelwald every year, or the prettier Murren on the other side of the valley (The Schiltorn is where the Bond movie was filmed). Never been in the summer, but I know it's beautiful. Skiers tend to miss the snow, so it would 'hurt' to be there without it lol. Enjoy it. I miss those mountains...the only problem with living in Thailand is I can't ski anymore.

Thanks for nice video, this bring back my memories alot at Jungfrau. ❤❤❤❤

[@TerryM-xn3ym]

Hi Paddy. I love your videos and they have been very helpful in planning our trip to Switzerland this summer. Keep up the good work. One request: please stay off the grasses and wild flower areas and keep to the trail. It’s fragile tundra and walking on it can damage it for years. I’m not “get off my lawn” guy, but it’s best to practice leave no trace guidelines. We’ll be there in July and August. Maybe we will see you then. Peace.

[@robcanad]

So much drama my God, just relax, chill and enjoy!!

[@scottbrown4695]

Great video. I was in that area during April. Jungfraujoch was OK, but wouldn't bother with it again. We had a much better day up at Grindelwald First. Fantastic views, cheaper, playgrounds for the kids, and a great walk down the mountain.

[@ThailandThomas]

Beautiful views. Epic drone shots. Not sure I would pay two hundred francs to be on top of Europe. Glad we have you Paddy. I will just green screen my self into the mountain for that epic Instagram picture video. Hahaha Don't eat any yellow snow.

[@PaddyDoyle.]

it was worth it in the end

[@brendataylor8388]

Paddy that barley soup looked so good made me want to cook up a pot. But it’s 90°F in the middle of the US😂 Switzerland is soooo gorgeous. Too many people tho😉. Loving this series!

Thanks for another lovely video. I guess by now you’ve left the area. If not, you should try the via ferrata course in murren.

Will be there in 2 weeks….great series Paddy !!

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Have fun!

[@MrAlvinSinfulSong]

Went up Jungfrau, miss it so much 😢 During December the amount of people was alright 😂 but bloody cold

[@billmoeller8897]

Yes, the crowds can ruin the experience. Was there in the mid 90's, didn't seem that crowded back then long before the new cable car was in service. Next trip think about picking up a motorcycle in Munich & spend a couple of weeks on it or a tour. Beach's Motorcycle Adventures has a great 2 week trip, The Clasic Alpine Adventure. You can ride in a group or go off on your own & just meet up at the hotels at nite. Check out their itinerary, think you would have a great time. The best roads, passes, cities & villages in 2 weeks. The best time, finding that little bench on top of a pass, no one around, having a snack & a drink, taking it all in.

[@fratusd]

My favorite place on the planet.. did you know that you could buy a 4-day train pass that you can take all the trains up and down the mountains even the gondolas everything you want for the surrounding towns

[@janamichalikova7371]

Hi, which train pass is that? Could you add a link? Thank you

Dear Paddy, I used to work as a Buyer in NY for a company that was the sole importer of Wenger Swiss Army Knives. Wenger’s located in Delemont. It’s a French speaking province. I Don’t know if Delemont is on your list, but you should check it out if you have the time. Best of luck with your channel. PS: I’m a fellow KZbinr with a show about comic books. Lol

Haha, nothing like a good clusterf&*k on holidays, Paddy...🤣🤣

$50 dollar room shared by others and you have to make your own bed- And you wanted a welcome and more information? You get what you pay for, welcome to Earth. Great drone shots at the top! Wow!

[@claremcnamara1143]

Another great video Paddy. Couldn’t’ agree with you more about Jungfraujoch. I was there in early June and “underwhelmed” is a mild way of describing my experience. There were huge tour groups everywhere making it a very uncomfortable experience. I absolutely love Grindelwald however & am visiting again in a couple of months

[@JanPBtest]

Yes, I think Schilthorn is probably better in some ways.

[@evelineeichele2075]

I think you are gorgeous ! 😊 I enjoy your videos with your pleasant and informative way of staging and reporting. A beautiful and pleasant presentation of my home country in which I live. I have also traveled and visited other countries... (at a younger age) a bit like you, Paddy ! Thanks a lot for this thanks

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Thank you so much!

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Damn, you ate the snow

[@reklov827]

With a SBB Halbtax (swiss railways) abonnement, you could have saved money. Priced at 185 CHF for a year, it alone would have given you a 120 CHF discount on your Jungfraujoch trip. Considering your other public transport expenses, I'm confident you would have saved more than the additional 65 CHF, it is valid also for some cablecars and also some discount on boats like in Brienz. Another option would be the Swiss Half Fare Card, which I read is valid for Jungfraujoch too, costs just 120 CHF and is valid only one month - however, I am not exactly sure how the Half Fare Card works, as I never had it.

[@armancompany7546]

❤❤❤❤

[@mitachhut7177]

Oh you went to Top of Europe. My partner called that place a giant supermaket This is probably the only place I would not recommend. It is just far to expansive for what you get. With that money you could go to so many other mountains with much better views.😂 I am glad that you found that hut. We went there, too. The ambience there is completely different than at the train station. Unfortunately it is not for everyone, because of the altitude. And some people just struggle to walk on snow. And btw I think the skin of that cheese was moste likely not edible. Most of the time you can't eat the skin of cheese in Switzerland😅 And we usually just cut it and put it in the soup. 😊 Love your videos. Keep up the good work❤

Because the snow reflects sunlight. Hot.

[@ani9603]

Incredible video! The views were breathtaking! Do you realize how blessed you are? Every Sunday my parents would take me to the nursing home and have me go from room to room visiting. Sometimes we would have the nurse come in because the resident wouldn't let go of my hand. They didn't want me to leave. These people would give anything to experience just a portion of what you are and to even have one last breath. So, thank you Mr Paddy for these wonderful videos and I hope you enjoy every little thing, from the bubbles in your beer to the holes in your cheese AND the snow on your ass. Cheers to you!! 🍻🥂❤

[@Eurobazz]

Just an observation Paddy, You might be getting too old for the Hostel lifestyle. Although if the Hostel was that price I can't imagine what a 4-star hotel would be. Thanks for taking this trip for us. I could never go due to altitude sickness. I'm just made for beaches.

How about ice Palace? I agree too many people inside

[@gustavoplacencia1292]

Hey Paddy. What days in June did you go? We're going next year in June

[@JanPBtest]

OK, perhaps it's worth repeating: don't even _think_ of visiting Switzerland without buying a transportation pass of some sort! Unless you are going to never-ever use trains, cable cars, funiculars, buses, etc., you may survive without any pass. But if you are like any normal person, you'll want to buy at least the HalfFare pass (aka. HalbTax). It costs 120 CHF and is valid for 1 month, so it's really _really_ cheap, and it gives you 50% off _all transportation._ It's a total no-brainer and a must. It will pay for itself within a few days. Actually just one trip to the Jungfraujoch will almost pay for it. There are other passes available for more money but they also can give you even better deals _if_ your itinerary is right. But the HalfFare is the standard universally valid no-brainer if you have no inclination to restrict your itinerary in any way (time-wise or space-wise).

Thanks for your fine drone shots of the snowy summit region. You burning through so much money --- in Euro-expensive-crazy Europe --- for such paltry service. Life is short. If you experience a culture meltdown --- and fly back --- to truly -exotic, sensual Thailand --- we would all understand.

[@ortenciamcilhaney2604]

Maybe the hostel and hotels in Grindelwald don’t need money that’s why they don’t have staff attending to guests needs. They just want to host tourists who are eager to go to Switzerland to see the place. Do they care about guests feedback on their service? How do you rate the hospitality and service of the hotels you stayed at?

[@lewis_bui]

So beautiful, but can we ride motorbike at here?

[@RetiredGlobalLife]

Your photography/video work belongs in a National Geographic magazine. And how do you get your drone back to you while in a moving train? (Last video you did.) Not to bring up a sad topic but I asked you this in another message but it was by then an old video so likely you didn't see it. You mentioned in a video that Hanna Stone had died. I'd heard a snippet of one of her songs a while back on one of your videos and you were kind to reply when I asked who it was, and I've since used her songs in my videos. When I looked it up online I found a 16 year-old Hannah Stone had committed suicide, but nothing for a Hanna Stone. Are they one and the same? Or is our Hanna Stone hopefully still alive? If you are heading in your European journey to the South of France one day, I used to live there and can tell you a couple of things to do that few know of but would be beautiful and fun to see and do.
