Switzerland's Jungfrau Region: Best of the Alps
Vložit
- čas přidán 13. 05. 2014
- Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2002 | If Heidi is alive, she's in this sky-high corner of the Swiss Alps, with cowbells ringing on breathtaking ridges. After settling into a traditional village where locals scythe hay by hand, we hike, bike, blast an alphorn, get sprayed by waterfalls raging deep inside a mountain, and munch muesli for breakfast at 10,000 feet. For a finale, we ride Europe's highest railway up the mighty Jungfrau for hot cocoa, glacier sledding, and oh-wow views. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #swissalps

This video inspired me to visit Switzerland and I did it. I was able to visit most of the places mentioned and I enjoyed it very much. Thank you Rick!. Out of the more than 30 countries that I have visited, I could say that Switzerland has beautiful countryside and is still the best country for me. I wish I could live there. It's to me, heaven on earth! Mabuhay!
Filipina ka, mabuhay din! Tatay ko Swiss nakapunta rin ako ng Switzerland and Mama ko Filipina, born and raised ako sa Philippines, now living in USA. Ingat & Mabuhay ulit!
You can just move there buddy
My bro & son doing it today…son just completed El Camino Santiago in spain & met in Germany😀
@@amaris5145 why? Leave the Swiss alone, they don't owe anyone anything and it is nice that one can visit.
In all fairness there is some stuff like that in the U.S.
I visited all these places in Switzerland in 1987 and again in 1989. Unfogettable experience.At Schilthorn I had a cable car ride to Piz Gloria and had coffee and snacks at the revolving restaurant.
Sir 👍👍👍
Delicious food amomg the Alps is a slice of heaven
Pronam neben uncle, akjon bangali ke ei channel e dekhe khub bhalo laglo. Conveying my best regards to you :)
Linda capital parabens
In 1971 I was touring around Switzerland in a Tanus Camper Van. We stopped for lunch at a Road overlook. We just began lunch when there was a rumbling behind us up the mountain. A cannon soon appeared & fired a shot high up into the mountains to start a small avalanche. Quite a surprise!
Wow i love the way she made that cheese 🧀 beautiful village 👍🏻
h mam how are you
Absolutely gorgeous, God created such a diverse world
no diversity in people , that is why place is so good
been there , will never forget. keep europe like this.
Too late its over now. Chongs everywhere. And the Americans are back in force. Ruder than ever before...
Rick Steves' videos are a one stop shop when it comes to travel advice! My flight to Switzerland departs on Monday and I can't wait to get there, see the mountains, try all the food and beer, talk to the locals.
follow up. what do you recommend to see and do? thank you
your favorite parts of the trip
Did this in 1998 and found it to be heaven on earth.
Hi Doug, I quite agree. Everytime you visit it robs you of speech. We just got back and can't remember a trip where we said "Wow" so often!!
Visited twice in early 80’s because of his book Europe through the Back Door and it was so beautiful and wonderful to visit!
This channel is such a blessing.
I think the most attractive aspect is the peaceful and friendly atmosphere in the small village. so idyllic, so lovely.
Switzerland is basically a huge Bob Ross painting.
Hi MisterLucca, I quite agree - it has the same mystical qualities, lol. Happy travels.
Well put Sir!
MisterLucca .. pin...spek...now...my.. pand....m.....love....
Full of happy little accidents
Woww
7:40, fireman smokes a cigar while Rick talks about fire protection. Funny.
Fighting fire with fire ;)
This is not fireman, this cloun
Yes, that seemed like most unswiss behaviour
You noticed right
Surely the most beautiful country in the whole world. I'm in love with the nature, the culture, the food... Everything!!!! I hope one day l can visit it.
imisin
It amazes me how honest the Swiss are. I went there during the summer once and there was a field of all kinds of flowers and plants for sale where you can hand pick the ones you want and there was a tiny shack up front with nothing but a list of prices and a bowl with money in it. The shack isn't even manned, nor is the field fenced or supervised. People pick their flowers and literally pay at their own integrity.
like japan...
Incredible! Is that really true? That's quite beautiful.
Also the same but with crystalls.
It amazes me how other people are amazed about that fact. I always thought that'd be normal in every country. :P
The miracles of a homogenous society without third-world immigration.
Just finished watching this on television. I enjoyed it so much, I had to look for it here to see it again.
I want Rick's job!
Are you single I'm
Watch my videos 🙄
I've always heard about Switzerland being a nice full of nice people.. but watching this has made me realise what a lovely people they are. I will definitely go someday!! Love from England
Heavenly! .......nature,food, culture & people are awesome, the most beautiful country in the world.
I have been to atleast 50 countries ,but I can say that Nothing like Switzerland- in terms of beauty,nature , cleanliness, people , engineering marvel and efficiency.
Best public transportation in all of the world in Switzerland, overall Good quality and ease of living.
"A train on every track every hour."
Gondola is the way to go
@@terrimichaels3018 I like the gondolas up one side of Mannlichen, and down the other.
Thanks Steve, a fan for over 30 years, ever since your first book EUROPE THROUGH THE BACK DOOR, my guide to my first European adventure. Before I leave this world, visiting this region of Switzerland would be a dream come true. Thank you for showing us a glimpse into such a paradise on earth so cherished and cared for by its people. If only we here in the U.S. could do the same.
I wanna see Switzerland once in my life Thanks Rick 🙏
Rick: do you speak English?
Every Swiss person in perfect English: a little bit
Until just a few years ago, every Swiss was required to study two of their native languages. Now, they have to study one of their native languages and English. Business.
@@JohnDoe-xl1ig thats not true, we swiss dont speak english, take me as an example, i really cant speak english and nobody is able to understand my english :(
@@DubElementMusic haha, i can undersatnd, ur english is good.
"Do you speak English?"
"No."
"Can I have some cheese?"
"Yes, its from the alp"
"Mmmm, its very good"
"5 frankens, please"
I have been traveling to Switzerland for over twenty years for work. The amount of English spoke is a blessing for an American. I have a little French, enough for train tickets, food, etc, and just the common courtesy words in German/Swiss German but have always been able to get bye. Not everyone speaks English, particularly in the older generations, but almost all young people do and when they say "a little" it is simply them saying it is not their primary or strongest language.
Iv been skiing in that area as its all under one ski pass, trains included. Its absolutely stunning! We arrived in the dark to out hotel and the next morning ate breakfast as it got light my partner said to come look at something... Omg I literally lost my breath at the North face of the eiger rising up in front of me!!!! It's worth ever penny to go there ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Rick for sharing this video.
I hope one day will come and I'll be visiting those beautiful places in Switzerland.
Touring Switzerland is one of my best dreams for many years.
Greetings from Tiberias, ISRAEL.
Heavenly and Divine Nature...

Rick Steves' is the best travel channel on youtube, absolute class
Wow man, you look great! What kind of diet are you on?
Rick Steve's yours presentation is excellent. Swiss is all time evergreen
Greetings from Bangladesh
I was in Switzerland last year and this country amazed me very much! Great country and powerful landscapes.
I have seen quite e few of your shows, but this tops them all! Gorgeous! Thank you!
Swiss people are so lucky to be born there.
Most hate the place
I never realized how much I would love to see Switzerland! Absolutely beautiful!!!
OMG that cute little school though. Like back in the old days. I must go visit!!
you're right
The children playing hockey during recess was adorable
I love the Swiss country side, just a paradise on Earth. Thanks for the Video .
Seen a hundred videos on alps and Switzerland, but Rick's video is always a class apart
I love this series, especially Italy, Greece, Germany, western europe...so fascinating, it's like cities from antiquity.
I have had the pleasure of visiting Switzerland and flying over the Swiss Alps.
You do the best representation of Europe! You are the best.....Love you Rick Steves! :)
Dark Passenger ain't that the truth!!
my comment is agreeing with you
this video inspired me to visit Jungfrau Region. the views are all well worth to see. I feel as if I am in another planet. Thanks Steve for sharing this beautiful video
Beautiful Switzerland ❤️🇨🇭❤️
Switzerland is just impossibly beautiful and I must go back! Thanks for this gorgeous video, Mr Steves.
Rick another excellent chance to travel and see a place I might never get the chance to see for myself.
At 85yrs having lost my husband and precious 14 yr old dog, you help me with interesting travel and interesting dialog. Thank you.
Dear Cheryl, may you gain strength from these views of Paradise.All sadness will evaporate when Families are reunited in Paradise. John 5:28,29.
Revelation 21:4,5.
Hugs to your heart.
Love the fact that these Swiss villagers are all trained in fire fighting just like ship crews and smoke like sailors. Both share extreme isolate where the nearest emergency help may be hours away so this makes perfect sense.
So grateful to live in Switzerland. I love 🇨🇭❤️. An amazing country.
Hey are you single
Rick steeves your videos are classics keep them coming
Poor Rick on top of a mountain without sunglasses. I'd be crying.

I would love to visit such a naturally beautiful place.
Just wonderful Greetings from Romania Great video With love Rody
We just returned from one week staying in Lauterbrunnen and we explored and skied in the Jungfrau region and it was wonderful. Like Rick Steves said, you don't need a car once you arrive. One pass (buy in advance online for a discount) and you can access all trains, gondolas and lifts as much as you want. Thanks Rick, your tips were invaluable to making our trip a 10 out of 10!
Which pass did you buy?
Very nice and informative video! Loved it :) ! Well done! Greetings from Ireland! :)
SWITZERLAND IS GOD'S OWN PARADISE.
It mesmerized me, love to visit again and again.
mam where are you from
Fantastic, Thank to you for showing ME the Map of SWITZERLAND and showing the lot gorgeous HOUSES up close, Wunderful EXPERIENCE..THANX &&&

So wonderful place and afcourse heaven of the earth beautiful
This place is stunning beyond words. Brought the family there a few years ago, and we want to go back. We used Rick Steve's guidebook, which is a must. So many hints and helpful suggestions. Great job on the books and particularly this episode.
Gimmelwald looks unbelievable!
Agreed. I would love to visit Switzerland 🇨🇭 one day :)
So so beautiful video
My dream destination. Soon, hopefully.
Have always dreamt of going to the Alps. Have first thought of Chamonix on the French side but since watching this video I have made a conclusion. Thanks, Steve. Hope to see the Alps soon.
Best intro so far, that place must be the most perfect place for me to live. I love nature
Agree, it is stunning :) Greetings from Ireland! :)

Watching in during the pandemic, collection of his videos seem like sci-fi movies.
Back in 1997 I had the pleasure of visiting Lugano, Switzerland with a tour group. It was a great experience, Later I had the opportunity of flying over the Swiss Alps.
It's like a dollhouse town, I felt in love...
Hi Rick Steve,
We all know that all your European Travel & Info videos were always ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.
It will be really fantastic if all these wonderful old videos are all converted to 4K HDR
Easily one of the most beautiful countires in the world
many says that swiss are rude, but by watching this, they seem friendly.
One of the places on the list for a visit.
We were in Interlaken in 2016 staying at Jungfrau Hotel one of the best hotel in the world Will come back one day Love from Australia
