I ended up here after stumbling upon your spectacular video series of Canadian adventure. Your videos are quite thrilling to watch and triggering ferocious appetite to those who are longing to their next adventure. I see a lively, happy couple and thanks for spreading joy with your viewers! 📸

[@ThePlanetD]

Thank you so much for the kind words. I am so happy that you had the chance to explore some of Canada as well. We really appreciate you watching and happy travels to you! We too are longing for our next adventure and hope that we can all hit the road again soon.

[@varol1961]

A lifetime experience. You, guys, are amazing.

[@skylyfetraveller]

Beautiful views and amazing info provided. Will definitely use your video for reference while visiting Swiss.

[@dinmfba7296]

Thanks for the sharing your fantastic experience

[@ThePlanetD]

Thank you for watching!

[@AtkinsonSmithAdventures]

Great video guys! 😀

[@ThePlanetD]

Thanks so much, I am glad you enjoyed it!

[@ervinslens]

Amazing and breathtaking views, I am little jealous right now.😃😃

[@ThePlanetD]

It really is beautiful there. The weather turned a bit while we visited, but we were lucky to have crystal clear days on our other treks through the area so we felt lucky all around.

[@ervinslens]

@@ThePlanetD Truly amazing place.

[@ThePlanetD]

Trying to decide between Gornergrat or Matterhorn Glacier Paradise? Watch our Gornergrat video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIGup3mQoMqtjK8 to see what you think of it.

[@ThePlanetD]

Thanks Varol! Hope you are doing well in this snow storm today! It's a fitting video for this wintery day in Canada :)

[@rolling-home]

Wow, u guys rock! Made my evening wondering about hikes, ice and wind

[@ThePlanetD]

Thanks so much! We're about to get a snowstorm here in Canada where we live. This video is fitting for today. Where are you planning on going hiking?

[@rolling-home]

@@ThePlanetD Probably somewhere close to home, maybe Slovakia, we are just a beginners :)

[@ThePlanetD]

@@rolling-home Nice! Enjoy. :)

[@SharingtheRoad]

What an iconic place! Those ice tunnels are "so *cool* ! Get it... "cool" 😂

[@ThePlanetD]

It was the coolest thing to realize that we were walking 15 meters (45 feet) under a glacier. And we couldn't believe that nobody else was there. It was surreal.

[@SharingtheRoad]

@@ThePlanetD That is so cool! Like a little stretch of a personal winter wonderland!

[@ThePlanetD]

@@SharingtheRoad That's a perfect way to describe it. It felt like a winter wonderland. And it was so warm down in Zermatt. A good little escape.

[@polloloci21]

I live 3 hours away for years and haven’t made it out there. I’ll do it next weekend

[@chrisplusmelissa]

That looks like a phenomenal experience! Did you do this in December/January? Or, any thoughts on what time of year would be the best for doing this?

[@ThePlanetD]

We actually did this in August. It was hot down in Zermatt and winter conditions once we reached Glacier Paradise. In the winter it is open for skiing.

[@csyawarusmani3032]

Is this open in last week of December for activities?

[@cyeejen]

Thank you for your video! What kind of clothing layer do you suggest for this trip?

[@ThePlanetD]

I recommend an outer layer that is windproof and waterproof and to have a base layer. of merino wool. If you are going in the summer, you don't need a heavy mid layer, but you will want some layering because it can be very cold up there. It is hot in Zermatt though, so you'll want a backpack so you can add or takeaway layers as the day goe on.

[@AdventurewithSunny]

Thank you for sharing another beautiful adventure from Zermatt! Matterhorn Glacier Paradis is another place on my list for this summer in Zermatt. I had a similar glacier cave experience in Chamonix, France years ago... Can I ask what kind of camera are you using for this video footage?

[@ThePlanetD]

Amazing that you are going to visit next summer, enjoy! Now you have made me want to go to Chamonix. The ice caves are so cool to visit. For this video, we kept it very simple, I used a GoPro Hero 9, iPhone 12 Pro Max. It's amazing what you can get from these two simple pieces of gear eh?

[@AdventurewithSunny]

@@ThePlanetD Your footage was good in the low lights... I normally unhappy with GoPro 9 for low light, but I'm impressed! Yes, Chamonix is another beautiful Alps town. I took a cable car to high peak, where those climbers take off for Mont Blanc summit, train to a glacier and many other activities! Actually, I hiked a long distance trail Tour du Mont Blanc. If you enjoyed Zermatt, I'm sure you'll enjoy Chamonix too.

[@ThePlanetD]

@@AdventurewithSunny I take it off 60 fps in low light and that helps a lot. It's not ideal but when spending the day hiking, I loved having a lighter backpack. At 07:08 in the cinema lounge you can really see how bad the low light is but I could live with it :)

[@ThePlanetD]

@@AdventurewithSunny Thanks for the tips for Chamonix. I hope we can get back to Europe next summer. It sounds awesome.

[@AdventurewithSunny]

@@ThePlanetD Thank you for the great tips! I know light weight is my concern for hiking too.

[@no_rain7117]

How much did you pay for back and forth tickets?

[@christinengo1638]

What month did you guys visit Zermatt?

[@karesage2889]

When did you go? You were so lucky to have very few others there

[@ThePlanetD]

We went in August. The forecast wasn't good for that day, but when we got to the top it cleared somewhat. I think it kept people away.

[@karesage2889]

@ThePlanetD I am going in September but on a tight schedule so our luck is in the lap of the gods!! 🤞🤞🙏

[@ThePlanetD]

@@karesage2889 best of luck to you! I hope you have great weather. The crowds should definitely be less in Sept.

[@manimarytravel]

In what month were you there? 👍

[@ThePlanetD]

The month of August.

[@VenusandMaiku]

When I went, It was deep fog. Couldn't see ANYTHING

[@ThePlanetD]

That is a bummer! We had that happen at Bachalpsee in Grindelwald. It is really disappointing when the weather doesn't cooperate. Did you see any other lookouts in Zermatt? We had better weather at Gornergrat and Stellisee which made up for the bad weather on our end.

[@marcclement7396]

Could you say glacier again?

[@ThePlanetD]

Sure, Glacier, Glacier Glacier :D

[@leonidtorti3466]

You are not under a glacier. You are inside one.
