Hiking 60 Miles Alone In Grindelwald Switzerland

[@KM-yt9fw]

Thank you, Kraig, for taking me with you. I haven't been able to hike for ten years and it is my true love. I miss it so much. Even when I hike in person, I am a silent hiker; I want no chat, just the wilderness to speak. You take me where I cannot take myself. Bless you and all your journeys.

[@YensBastiaens]

The drone shots were absolutely epic! Loved the colors, composition, everything of it.

Epic is a good word for it. Outstanding sir, respect.

I had the immense pleasure of visiting Grindelwald last year (2023), and I can assure you that among the 21 countries I have visited in my life, Switzerland is by far my favorite. Excellent hiking, magical views 👏👏👏

[@ZenHikingSwitzerland]

At 17:45 the girl on the left made me laugh so hard 😂 That aside, thanks for yet another awesome video man! You are a true master of cinematography.

Have you responded to the WhatsApp message supposedly sent by Kraig? Seems odd in light of so many people below getting this same message so I'm disinclined to respond.

I ve got the same message. I didn t respont yet! 💆‍♂️

Im so jealous to you. I visited switzerland this summer again, and the beauty of the alps just amazes me every time. Swiss must be one of the most beautyful countries there is.

It is incredibly beautiful, I'm half-Swiss thru my mother, but I have only been back a couple of times - too old now at 82 & in the US ! - I'm pretty happy to be able to view these gorgeous mountains via video tho !

I went to Grindelwald around the same time. It was my first time outside the U.S and was an experience that I will never forget. The grass was green, the air was fresh, and the water was clear. The view of the mountains was absolutely stunning and I was mesmerized by how massive they were. One of my favorite destinations while there was mount Schafler in the eastern part of Switzerland from the top I was able to see Germany and Liechtenstein and the town of Apenzell. Hope to visit Switzerland again in the future.

[@hikesome]

Liechtenstein is beautiful too. Grindelwald was always on my list hopefully I will shoot there end of autumn ;)

[@Kayzee_____]

Having 7 minutes of drone footage just shows how beautiful this country is. I hope I can visit it one day!

[@relaxingtravel-LosAngeles]

The very best all around. Location. Videography. Silent story telling.

[@RaztaPapoulos12]

Honestly Switzerland is probably the most beautiful country I ever been to. This video was so beautiful and magical. The drones shots were insane and doesnt give credit to the beauty of the alps. You have to experience it once in your lifetime then to me your life is complete after. I cannot express how stunning this country is. Hopefully I can go back in the future!

[@RetoB1976]

I'm living in Ireland, but I'm born and raised near this area. Kind of homesicknes brought me to your video and I enjoyed this fantastic hike. One day, when I'm taking my last breath I want to hear the sound of those bells of the cows (10:47). Then I know, I'm going back home now. Thank you for this piece of art, Kraig.

[@lynnsallberg4316]

This video actually moved me into tears🙏. You have an amazing feeling for showing what outdoor life is about. Just beautiful!!

[@cemo4642]

Hi lovly lynn ,Where were you hinking latly?

[@garvald]

Well I've lived in Switzerland almost all my life. I'm extremely familiar with the area you visited and I must say, the perspective you offered not only from the drone footage but also the trails, makes me look forward to next year when i once again return. Yes, day hikes are great, but all the crowded cable cares and gondolas may offer your legs comfort, however it's mentally draining. What you accomplished is seeing the off-track places, away from the tourists in the middle of one of the world's most visited places. Also the food shots.. damn, no idea who you made that look so good. Fantastic job. Thank you my friend.

[@Golf05]

Wow - brings back memories of my trip there 40 years ago. Hoping to bring my wife there before too long. That ridge line hiking looks amazing - I'd bring walking poles for sure there.

[@TheeJaneDoe]

Oh Kraig, this is top 5 of your hiking videos for sure. Stunning and epic 🤩

[@ericastier1646]

@@TheeJaneDoe Ah ok, yes i understand. I've been in the swiss alps a few times as a child but now when i see the videos of switzerland it looks the same thing over and over and nature looks very minimilastic there : grass meadow, rock mountains, snow and sky. I do feel a lack of ecosystem diversity that make it a bit boring, like a golf course, if that makes sense. Still looks awesome but i can see how one could get bored with it.

[@mointhewild]

Why do you have to make me CRY!!! The beginning of this video was so beautiful it brought me to tears. (drone shots/music was so touching). Love your work!

[@jata1]

Your sound design skills in these are so underappreciated. Nice work. How you seamlessly blend footsteps, cow bells at different audio levels, the right amounts of wind for atmosphere and music. Bittersweet to hear you're planning on changing it up - I love these slow vids to chill out to, but also 1000% in support of pursuing creativity and what resonates for you. Can't wait to see more :)

[@limeallens6160]

i have to say this is one of the best hiking videos on youtube . The sitting down in the restaurant the way the unending trails wind and curve out of sight the animals and even the stirring of the coffee etc. well done.

[@johnsousa2558]

This video comes very close to taking one to a meditative state of mind. Your senses are heightened and only aware of the beauty around you. I enjoy the fun of group hikes or rides but being alone out in nature really focusses all your attention in the moment of your surroundings. Very well done beautiful video taken to another level. Thank you for sharing ✌

[@PoojaShravan]

Amazing work Kraig. We just watched the first few minutes and we are already floored. Looks like you are slowly transitioning into becoming the king of this niche Lo-Fi Hiking genre. We really appreciate the kind of effort you put here. Its not easy to find a vantage point, set up the camera, frame and compose, walk forward, walk back, pick up the camera and the do it all over again. It requires a lot of physical strength and so much more mental strength. We are a couple doing this and we still struggle at it. Hats of to you for doing this all alone. More power to you. Keep them coming. Love from India 🙂🙂

Your process for making these long-form hiking videos is dialed in, and I love and appreciate that you want to mix it up. I'll always love these kinds of videos, and I'm looking forward to what comes next.

[@Sosofloflo]

At first, I had a hard time watching this without focusing on you having to walk back and grab the camera for every shot 😂 but it adds a layer to these kind of scenery shoots which makes it a more personal experience for the viewer. So thanks for that, unlike any footage I’ve seen

[@jurgbangerter1023]

I was in the Swiss mountain military in the 1980's, I can give you a lot of places in the Swiss alps where you won't see anybody away from touristy places, some places so beautiful the Natives will actually not telling tourists about them to keep them for themselves. Lived in Mürren around 2015, Maloja 2010, . Advice when hiking alone in Swiss Mountains get a REGA/Air Glacier Swiss rescue helicopter membership-sponsor, and the numbers to call, get a working cell phone and extra batteries, also Swiss Alpen club membership and their maps, you can stay at a Swiss Alpen Club SAC hut for around 60Franks+2 meals and clean dormitory. When interested in more advanced Blue Hiking would be Grindelwald to Schreckhorn passing the Schreckhorn Glacier staying at SAC Schreckhorn hut.

...that was great, Kraig - I loved the serene flavour of the trip, with so much landscape and meditative music, but I'm also completely with what you said at the end - about how touristy and easy accessible the Alps are, and also that you might move to a more social and fun oriented traveling and filming... creative constant uneasiness, pushing forward, feeling restless - fantastic qualities, and I don't think that its a risk - it might be the bigger risk not to change... followers who want to be with you long-term will also support and want to see you change... we all move and grow on our journeys through life, and if we don't, it becomes boring, and a bit sad... we are not made to stand still, at any achievement... keep on changing, Kraig! xx
