travelers stories about Mountain in Braunwald, Switzerland

Mountain in Braunwald, Switzerland

  12 km from Glarus


When we arrived to Braunwald, it was very foggy. Houses and trees were barely visible along the hiking trail. After an hour of walking up the hill we were rewarded with some breathtaking views, as the mountain started to emerge.

travelers stories about Crater lake in Wildsee, Switzerland

Crater lake in Wildsee, Switzerland

  25 km from Glarus


There are many beautiful hikes in Switzerland. But the 5-lake hike in Pizol is just amazing. It is very popular. On weekends there are thousands of people hiking this trail. Not only because it is very accessible. It is also just breathtaking. You can do the hike within 4.5 - 5 hours if you’re in shape. And you can take a swim in some of the lakes, if you dare.

River in Rheinschlucht, Switzerland

I went on a little adventure with my friends. We went to the Rheinschlucht (aka the swiss grand canyon). I brought my drone and took it for a flight. Everything went good. Later we went to another place too shoot the rheinschlucht from a new perspective. I flown my drone again. Unfortunately I crashed this time - on the other side of the river - My friend did exactly the same 5 minutes later. Wasn’t a good drone day.

travelers stories about Mountain range in Fronalpstock, Switzerland

Mountain range in Fronalpstock, Switzerland

  35 km from Glarus


Life is full of adventures. This image was created during one of my own adventures on the top of Fronalpstock in Switzerland. During the day thousands and thousands of tourists where passing by this spot. But the last chairlift was running at 5:30pm. Suddently the place became very quiet and calm. The fog started to clear up and reveal the two peaks. This image represents one of the most beautiful sunsets I ever saw.

Mountain in Fronalpstock, Switzerland

Imagine you are above the fog. Seeing the sun set. Then you turn around and see this. A mountain summit peaking out of the fog and catching fire. Goosebumps all over your body. And a refreshing feeling of joy and thankfulness filling up your body. This is Switzerland. This I can call my home. I really appreciate that a lot lately.

The Alpstein in northwest Switzerland is so dense and small, it is just perfect for touristy pictures. I live here but still feel like a tourist every single time.

travelers stories about Hill station in Igis, Switzerland

Hill station in Igis, Switzerland

  39 km from Glarus


No, I’m not a lazy photographer. But at this certain situation yes. And you would not notice it. It took me in total about 1 minute to shoot. Setting up gear, traveling to the location, etc. Why? Because it was made directly out of my bedroom. I used a 200mm lense without tripod. The shoot is one of my quickest shoot ever.

Evening mood in the smaller mountain range of the Swiss Alps: the Alpstein. I was disappointed not to be up there during golden hour, but it was a small comfort to take this shot on the way home.

travelers stories about Dock in Lake Zug, Switzerland

Dock in Lake Zug, Switzerland

  48 km from Glarus


This photo was taken during my business trip in Switzerland. I arrived on the first of August, the national holiday when Swiss celebrate the founding of the Swiss Confederacy. I went for a stroll to explore the surroundings of the hotel which lies on the Zugersee lake. The place was very quiet and almost scary, I could hear only my own footsteps on the wooden pier and splashes of water as the small waves gently touched the shore.

I had hiked up Uetliberg, a small mountain near Zurich, to capture the fall colors that I had seen covering the hillside. However, as I made my way further up the mountain, the forest became shrouded in fog, and a whole new side of the forest revealed itself!

If you are on a hike over noon. Normally the light isn’t really good. But if you have beautiful clouds hanging in the sky, they will cast some nice shadows on the ground. This one is taken at Lago Ritom in Ticino. A beautiful Hike up to the Capanna Cadlimo.

travelers stories about Hill in Davos, Switzerland

Hill in Davos, Switzerland

  63 km from Glarus


One of my best tours in 2018. After I hiked through the night, I reached the top of the mountain just in time for sunrise. I knew there was this tower close to the summit, but I’ve never been up there before. So I enjoyed a beautiful sunrise with great views to Davos/Klosters and the Prättigau-Valley before I descended back to Davos Wolfgang. By the way, the peak is reachable via a marked trail, so highly recommended for many skill levels…
