travelers stories about Lake in Riffelsee, Switzerland

Lake in Riffelsee, Switzerland

  5 km from Gorner Glacier


We spent our last money for a taxi taking us into Zermatt, a small tourist hotspot in the swiss alps. My friends and I walked about half an hour to sneak onto the last train to the Riffelsee. Up there it was bloody cold with temperatures below zero. We managed to sleep there anyway and it was totally worth it. When the sun started rising the clouds slowly disappeared and with the water still quiet the top of the Matterhorn got lit up step by step. The reflection in the Riffelsee made it the perfect shot. Highly recommended experience!

We were planning on having a small trek up Zinnal lake in Switzerland. But once we got on top we realize how lucky we were and how breath-taking the scenery was.

travelers stories about Ski resort in Simplon Pass, Switzerland

Ski resort in Simplon Pass, Switzerland

  36 km from Gorner Glacier


Between snow and sun, I had to catch the perfect moment when it wasn’t too windy. On this day at “Simplon-Pass” (sempione in italian) it was really awesome to fly over a lot of White, new snow… On the side of the roads were at least 2.5m of snowwalls. The only sad thing about this adventure was that I couldn’t drive myself up there in a powerful car - instead we took the bus but there were still very amazing views!

Mountain range in Unnamed Road, Switzerland

  50 km from Gorner Glacier


My hard drive is full with “urban magic”. Well maybe just urban shots. I need some more training to apply “magic” because I am still working on my framing when I’m in cities. Too much landscape does this to you. At least I’am not afraid to experiment and dare to “kill the vibe” on my Instagram feed, every now and then.

travelers stories about Hill in Pierre Avoi, Switzerland

Hill in Pierre Avoi, Switzerland

  51 km from Gorner Glacier


So, we went to this mountain with a friend of mine because it’s near our village in Switzerland. We almost died twice before arriving on site, but it was worth it. The view was amazing and we had a great time. This hike gave me more motivation than I already had to go out and capture our beautiful world.

travelers stories about Forest in Haut de Cry, Switzerland

Forest in Haut de Cry, Switzerland

  57 km from Gorner Glacier


Going wild camping in the Swiss Alps is quite an adventure, especially when you need to find a flat spot which is large enough to receive your tent. But as in the Alps, slopes are dominating the scenery… This week-end I was lucky to find a nice place for my tent, but had some spectacular views on the surrounding mountains, like the one pictured here. Erosion, avalanches and rockfall dig deep canions in the slopes add to the character of this valley, following the “La Lizerne” river up to Les Diablerets.

After about one hour of hiking in the Swiss Alps, me and my friends made it to this gem of lake. We waited over two hours till the wind was not blowing that much. Suddenly the fog rolled in.

travelers stories about Glacial landform in Jungfraujoch, Switzerland

Glacial landform in Jungfraujoch, Switzerland

  66 km from Gorner Glacier


Even though we were surrounded by snow, it felt warm. The sun reflected and bounced off the snow to cover us in warmth. At this elevation in Switzerland, you feel almost in the clouds, it’s surreal. And yet, it’s a simple train ride to the top, no climbing gear needed.

Ever gone to Switzerland? It’s a great place to just wander off somewhere and to get completely lost in the mountains. That is what we did here. This way you can sit and marvel at the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau in total solitude.

After snapping some photos from the window room, I lied on the bed to rest my legs for a while. After 20 minutes, I saw the last rays of light coloring the top of the Jungfrau and could not help myself snapping more pictures while sitting on the bed.

Waterfall in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland

  70 km from Gorner Glacier


Lauterbrunnen is situated in one of the most impressive trough valleys in the Alps, between gigantic rock faces and mountain peaks. With its 72 thundering waterfalls, secluded valleys, colourful alpine meadows and lonely mountain inns, the Lauterbrunnen Valley is one of the biggest nature conservation areas in Switzerland. J.R.R.Tolkinen hiked from Interlaken to the Lauterbrunnen Valley in 1911. The landscape later provided the concept and pictorial model for his sketches of the fictitious valley of Rivendell.

travelers stories about Mountain in Sidelhorn, Switzerland

Mountain in Sidelhorn, Switzerland

  75 km from Gorner Glacier


After an hour of hiking past the Grimselpass/Totensee, we set up our cameras at 2500m. Although we had arrived to that spot to see the blood moon rise right above the mountains, clouds on the horizon delayed when we got our first glimpse of red light. Still, the clouds that were there allowed for a colorful sunset. The dramatic lighting of the sun lasted for mere seconds. It is a reminder that sometimes, beautiful things only last for a short while so we should try our best to enjoy them while they last. Enjoy!

travelers stories about Town in Grindelwald, Switzerland

Town in Grindelwald, Switzerland

  75 km from Gorner Glacier


We were wandering around Grindelwald aimlessly while we ran into this church. After looking around, I decided to pull the drone out and grab a few shots. The epicness of the Eigar, Jungfrau and Monch surrounding this church and town was amazing. I had never felt this much of a grand presence and feel blessed to have been able to experience this.
