[@madetoexplore]

Thanks for watching! We would love to hear your thoughts on this stunning hike in Switzerland!👇

[@idanfuchs]

Guys, I traveled to Switzerland before, with hours and hours of KZbin time in order to plan my trip, back in 2022. You guys are BY FAR the best I've seen. You have officially become my go-to channel towards my Switzerland 2025 autumn trip. You are brilliant, fun and informative. Thanks a lot for sharing!

[@madetoexplore]

@@idanfuchs that’s so nice of you! Thank you 😊

[@ervinslens]

I can see you put a lot of time and work in this brilliant video, you should be very proud. Shots ate breathtaking folks! Amazing country 🔥🔥

[@madetoexplore]

Thank you so much! That means alot. We appreciate you being here and watching our videos 😀 Have a great day!

[@9sharlllll]

thanks so much for this, it made planning for my trip a lot easier! cant wait to hike in a month's time :)

[@madetoexplore]

Your welcome! Hope you have an amazing trip 😄

[@SwimmingInSeas]

I stumbled across your channel when planning my trip to Madeira, and each of your videos makes me crave another trip. So much inspiration and usual information - much appreciation 🙏

[@madetoexplore]

Thank you very much for the kind comment. That’s our Goal! 😄

[@paul8193]

Thanks for your helpful videos👍🏻😀we are going to make this hike this summer🌈

[@madetoexplore]

Welcome! Hope you have an amazing time 😄

[@ChasonBourne78]

OMG! The view from your room is just to die for! Would you recommend the hike from the cable car to the hut for an absolute newbie?

[@madetoexplore]

Yes, the hike was definitely doable for a newbie!

[@ChasonBourne78]

@@madetoexplore Thank you so much. I'm glad I found your channel! Just one other thing, if we take the cable car up and down the mountain, would we still be able to visit Seealpsee?

[@aus2514]

rad video!

[@madetoexplore]

Thanks for watching! 😄

[@wanderliss_]

Thank you for all the information! Wondering what month did you do this hike in?

[@madetoexplore]

@@wanderliss_ welcome! We were there in September

[@alisac8845]

Hello!! Awesome videos , I just discovered you and loving all your content. What time of the year were you in Switzerland doing all these hikes? Thanks!

[@madetoexplore]

Hey! Thank you so much, we’re happy to have you here☺️ We went for the first 3 weeks of September!

[@Eligius4L]

Hey guys! What month did you guys go ? I’m debating if me and my wife should stop there late October beginning of November

[@madetoexplore]

We were here in September. That might be a little late in the season! Early October would probably be the latest I would go

[@annaa6259]

Great video❤

[@madetoexplore]

Thank you! 😄

[@SD._]

Amazing hike. Do they accept credit cards at those restaurants and hotel where you stayed overnight?

[@madetoexplore]

For the most part yes☺️

[@SD._]

@@madetoexplore . Thank you for replying. It is much appreciated as I was worried that I need to carry cash everywhere with me.

[@HamodyAlMarzooqi]

Great video! I was wondering how detailed this specific hike is on your guide on the description?

[@madetoexplore]

Yeah it’s pretty detailed! We have 2 pages on this specific hike.

[@pratikrane9465]

Amazing video. Is camping allowed at Schlafer hut area?

[@madetoexplore]

@@pratikrane9465 no I don’t believe so although the rules with wild camping in Switzerland are a little different. I think you’re allowed to wild camp above the tree line in certain areas

[@Marco-ie2xn]

Appenzell, the unknown Switzerland

[@madetoexplore]

It’s a stunning place!

[@jeffryarevalo5980]

Hello, Nice video. How long did it take you to get from the Schafler hut (including stops) to Wasserauen? I am considering taking a late public bus/train to Ziruch that same day. Thank you

[@sstories7178]

Is it possible to do as a day hike? And if so, roughly how long would you say it would take? (Love the content btw xx)

[@madetoexplore]

Yes it is for sure. Probably 5-7 hours. Thank you!

[@kennedyvital3292]

hi do you need to book in advance in Shafler Hut if you gonna stay for a night?

[@madetoexplore]

We booked a few weeks in advance but I think it changes throughout the season

[@sthithignareddy]

Hi.. Can we hike this with kids or return to ebenalp cable car from hut..

[@madetoexplore]

Yes you can hike it with kids and yes, you can return to the cable car.

[@ryancrits8180]

Nice video! Quick question: what did you do with all your luggage while you stayed at the hut? Did you carry everything you brought to Switzerland with you on your back? Or did you have another hotel room back in appenzell

[@madetoexplore]

We had a rental car that we left it in but I’m sure most hotels would hold luggage as well! We’ve done that before in other countries.

[@ryancrits8180]

@@madetoexplore thank you! Working on planning my trip

[@favisierr8669]

Hi guys !!! I love your video! But I jus would like to know if is it a possibility to camp there for example in saxe lucke ? Thank youuu

[@madetoexplore]

I don’t believe they have tent pads but I think camping above the tree line in Switzerland is legal. Would be worth checking into!

[@mikatu]

Kaley, drop that guy. He is dragging you down, big time!

[@madetoexplore]

This is such a ridiculous comment I dont even know where to begin🤯 The fact that you think it’s appropriate to say something like this to people you don’t know says alot about your maturity. Typically, I would not even waste my time on a response, but you have bashed my favourite person on the planet for no reason other than what, jealousy? Putting others down to make yourself feel better about your own existence? It’s pathetic. David is the most kind, driven, adventurous, handsome, supportive, and intelligent man I have even met and he is truly the best thing that’s ever happened to me. If anyone’s dragging anyone down, it’s insecure keyboard warriors who have nothing better to do with their time than post negative comments online. See ya never ✌️

[@kennedyvital3292]

is it possible to do it a as day hike?

[@madetoexplore]

Yes for sure!

[@SadiePackard]

Can you park at the bottom and then take the rail up and hike back down to your car?

[@madetoexplore]

Yes you can! That’s exactly what we did

[@sanbyeol-00]

hello. I applaud the journey of two people. I want to climb here too. If you can pass through the guest house AESCHER. Can you tell the course from the guesthouse to the Schäfler hut? I want to avoid too dangerous hiking trails.

[@madetoexplore]

Majority of the trail isn’t very dangerous. Only the top ridge can be a little intimidating.

[@sanbyeol-00]

@@madetoexplore Thank you very much.

[@filipzatopek2912]

Hello, please - did you have to get a permission to fly above schäfler? On map i see that it is a restricted zone. Ill be visiting Swiss soon with my drone and i want answer. thank you :(

[@madetoexplore]

It was not a restricted zone when we were there so they must’ve changed it!

[@kimmatthiesen8049]

Kinda dissapointing video.. Where is all the good stuff about the hike.. the pov videos.. talking about a hike dont show it.. its a bit lazy.. work.. and the Sound design need a hand.. low volume talk, loud volume Music, having to turn the volume up and down all the time, sucks…

[@madetoexplore]

Thanks for watching! If you want POV you should get off the couch and go do it 😄

[@kimmatthiesen8049]

@@madetoexplore get your point..;-) .. But Im not sure you get mine - you are trying to promote yourself as adventure channel, however all I got from this video, is the hotel/hutt.. and a few drone clips.. not realy any adventure.. I am doing a 2.5 week roadtrip through the alps later this year, one of the hikes is the one you did, and I was hoping for some inspirationer.. but Since I am not staying in the hutt, there is nothing usefull in this video. Also no info about the “Ebenalp to Säntis” hike, or the “Saxer Lücke” hike that is on the other ridge, and one of the most famous spots in Switzerland.

[@madetoexplore]

@@kimmatthiesen8049 your summarizing our entire channel based on one video? Do you read a single chapter of a book and summarize the entire book? We can’t help you get more out of something if your view is that narrow. Hiking a mountain and staying in a hut in a new country is an adventure. We just spent last weekend wild camping in the Rockies and had a grizzly 30’ from us at one point. Also an adventure. Just on different levels.
