Hiking in the Swiss Alps 🇨🇭 WOW!

- Come with us as we hike in the incredible Swiss Alps - climbing Piz Lunghin near Maloja and St. Moritz! The views were incredible but it wasn't all plain sailing...
After breakfast with Nonna and Grandpa, they kindly offered to give us a lift to Maloja, where we drove through the town and went to a viewpoint overlooking the route down into Italy: the Maloja Pass. We then drove to a car park by the side of the road where we said our goodbyes and began the hike.
The initial ascent through the trees was a beautiful start to our first hike together in the Swiss Alps and when we came to a clearing we had phenomenal views over the entire region, Silsersee glistening in the sun. After a short break on a perfectly-placed bench, we continued the climb whilst admiring the pretty "alp roses" - not actually a rose at all but a Rhododendron. On a hill nearby Maloja, we spotted Belvedere Tower, the deceptively medieval-looking building that was dreamt up in the 19th century by a Belgian count wishing to attract wealthy aristocrats to the town. Although he didn't live to see it completed (and the adjacent hotel is now in disrepair), the tower has become the symbol of Maloja. We also glimpsed the Albigna Dam further up the valley, which creates clean electricity that's sent to Zurich. It's been in operation since 1959 and is 115m tall and 759m long!
We pushed on as the gradient got steeper and were pleasantly surprised to end up walking alongside the powerful 120-metre Innfall, which I gladly flew my drone over. We eventually reached its source, Lunghinsee (Lunghin Lake), where we stopped for a delicious lunch kindly prepared for us by Nonna.
After lunch we pushed on in an attempt to summit Piz Lunghin, which is considered the "roof of Europe" as the peak is nearby the triple watershed of the Lunghin pass and water running off this mountain can head towards the Mediterranean, the North Sea and the Black Sea (by the rivers Po, Rhein, and Danube).
Unfortunately, the weather wasn't on our side and some clouds rolled in, reducing visibility massively. We made the decision not to push on and headed back down the mountain. Of course, about an hour later the peak was standing majestically against of perfectly blue sky, with not a cloud in sight! We'll summit on our next visit...!
We made our way back down to the town of Maloja with some of the most fabulous views of the valley with the alp roses in the foreground, where Nonna and Grandpa met us with a couple of drinks in the car. How lucky we felt!
Stay tuned for more vlogs!

Thank you so much Sandra!
👍🏼
Ahhh thank you so much for the kind donation!! Very much appreciated!
Miss your vlog 🇵🇭
Thanks for checking this one out!
Aw, cute butterfly shot.
If there was one person who I knew would appreciate that, it was you, Imo!
@@LozsLeisure people skip my zoomy shots - I can tell by the retention graph. About 2-5% do I think?
@@PlanetImo Oh really! I've got to be honest I haven't been following my retention graphs or analytics too closely recently. I've been struggling to get any edits completely (as my sporadic upload schedule shows). I wonder if I would find the same. It's been brilliant seeing your regular uploads come through though - so impressed with you and your channel! How come you didn't choose the @PlanetImo handle?
@@LozsLeisure got to be honest, the daily upload deadline is so tight I don’t manage much else for the channel like other social medias or handles. Haven’t even looked into it.
Sorry to hear CZcams hasn’t yet sorted out this issue. Will head over to a laptop to watch it tomorrow
Finally looks like it's sorted!
Those hairpin bends remind me of small intenstines! Well, on the map, anyway.
This made us laugh 😂
HI fantastic videos are you using a GoPro and a drone ?
Hey there, thanks so much for the kind words and sorry for the slightly delayed response! I'm mainly using my Sony ZV-1 and my drone (DJI Air 2S), but I do also have a GoPro that I mainly use in water 😁 please let me know if you have any other questions!
Ooh no! How unfortunate, I’m sorry this happened. Are you able to delete and upload? I’m sure you’ve thought of that by now though
That was the plan if they didn't sort it out - it was pretty annoying but I'm glad to say that it seems to be sorted now! 😁
Great content but the whole beautiful people intro stuff is, frankly, cringeworthy
Haha, sorry to hear you think that, Peter. Really appreciate you watching and stopping by to leave a comment 😁🙏 Glad you enjoy the content!
