- After 5 years we are FINALLY back in Switzerland! :) We start our trip out leaving our campsite in Lindau, Germany. From there we made a couple stops along the way to and in Switzerland: one in the small country of Liechtenstein, another at Lake Walen and another in Lucerne. Each place offered incredible views and made us super excited to be here in Switzerland!!
After setting up camp we took a train from Lauterbrunnen up to the Wengen to see the best view in all the Swiss alps!(location here: www.google.com/maps/place/Hun...)
While there, we get serenaded by our two year old-gosh, she's the best! Over the next couple days we hike 14 miles and unfortunately get sunburnt and super sore, but we find the coolest playground, experience the famous cliff walk, & fall even more in love with Switzerland!
The campsite we stayed at: Camping Eiger North Face Grindelwald www.eigernordwand.ch/

In case you missed our last video, we spent 24 hours exploring Lake Constance. This is a lake that borders Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

"Tschüss, bike!" ❤️ Willa is just so adorable!
Right!! 😍 we were so happy we captured it!
This was one of my highlights, too! Just so damn cute. And of course that beautiful song of hers.
that was my favorite shes the most adorable little girl and she has such a personality
"tschüss Bike!" Awesome.. Kids are so fun when they start to talk and interact with their surroundings.
We moved to Switzerland in our retirement and never tire of the views. But the main thing is everybody is happy and friendly, we go for a hike or bike ride and everybody we pass smiles and says hello. Everything is good quality, everybody tried to help, nobody tries to cheat. It is a wonderful country.
Love to hear this. How long ago did you move there? Where did you move from? We really enjoy visiting Switzerland and seeing just how incredible the area is. Truly a magical place to call home.
@@OurStorytoTell Thanks for replying, we are Australian, been in Switzerland four years - live near Lake Gruyere. Pre Covid we did a lot of walking for example the St Jacobs way from Konstanz to Geneva a couple of days at a time. Now we are getting back into traveling, cycling and walking, recently spent a few days at Stein am Rhein, Andermatt and the Aletsch glacier. Best of luck for the future.
@@glennet9613 Good Cheese there :)
@@Cyril8204 Incredible, not good for the waistline though.
@@glennet9613how did you get visa?
Incredible landscape, BUT the best thing for me was watching Willa singing, speaking & having fun. This will for sure put a smile on her face remembering her lovely childhood while watching those videos lets say in 15-20 years from now. My parents took such videos using an 8mm camera (no sound) back in the 1960's and I was overwhelmed watching them later on seeing myself walking for the first time, the different fashion of the time, the stroller with big wheels which was like a fantastic journey back in history...
OMG, we're sitting here nearly in tears...both happy and sad. We were blessed to have a once in a lifetime opportunity to visit Europe four years ago, and spent nearly a month there primarily in Germany. We spent four days in Switzerland, seeing Lauterbrunnen, Gimmewald, Murren, Wengen, and Zermatt (& the Matterhorn). While we loved our entire month in Europe, we definitely left our hearts in Switzerland...it's truly Heaven on Earth. Realistically, we realize at our age we will most likely never have the chance to return. My heart breaks at the thought of not being able to return, but I'm SO thankful to be able to relive it through your eyes. Thank you for the beautiful memories, and for taking us along...LOVED the video!
Aww what a touching comment 💛 Thanks for sharing about your Europe trip! We are glad it could bring back those memories. It would be a difficult to think you might not go back. Just know you can rewatch this video as needed. 💛
@@OurStorytoTell Thank you! Just watched your latest, and it once again warmed my heart just hearing the cow bells. If you have a chance, look into visiting Colmar, France, and Strassburg, France if you haven't already. We visited there as well, and is easily drivable from Germany. Both have that old world charm and quaintness that you can only find in Europe. Knowing we may never return, I'm now addicted to travel videos to see it that way...love your channel!
I live in switzerland In Spiez. Between Thun and Interlaken. I Would Prefer to live in America or somewhere with a sea. I think The people will Always what they Dont have 😊
@@mirjamweibel9678 you live in a much better place
Oh Wau was für ein schönes Video 🤩🤩🤩eine prima Gegend zum Wandern und entspannen ,einfach nur irgendwo Sitzen und die Landschaft genießen ! Willa ist wie immer natürlich der Stargast auf eurer Tour ! Dankeschön für das schöne Video❤️
Dankeschön Hans! Also, thanks for following along. We love being able to share with our community. Yes, Willa does steal the show :)
Have fun in Switzerland! It's one of my favorite places. Small country, but so many gorgeous places to offer!
And freaking expensive
@@Julius8Caesar yes, indeed
@@Julius8Caesar like america is getting under the JOKE of biden as 'president'
Very nice views, the swiss alpes are just breathtaking. And sweet little Willa singing and hiking like 'Heidi'.
She makes it so much better 😂😊
Cutest dang family on yt, no lie. You’re such a positive role model for married couples, parents, explorers, conscious beings 💗
That’s a sweet comment, thanks ❤️. We’re glad to have you here following along!
Exploring paradise together with your most precious treasure must simply be a dream.And Willa is truly a sunshine!
It really is a dream! 💛
Fantastic video! I hope Willa grows up to realize how lucky she is to have parents who truly enjoy her company and even are eager to play WITH her instead of just sitting there like lumps(or, worse, neglecting her). Oh, and Tanner especially is quite the athlete so I have no doubt that Willa will at least consider wanting to be a physically fit and active child,teen and adult having seen how much FUN her parents have had in making the most of their athleticism.
A beautiful, always laughing, always happy, always friendly family, loving each other and loving their child and loving to see the world. I love to watch your vlogs. All the best to you!
If you are going back to Switzerland, I recommend a day at Lenzerheide. That's close to Chur. In any case, take peanuts with you. In the forest next to Lenzerheide there are a lot of squirrels and birds that come to get them from your hand. There you also have a cable car to the Rothorn. Insanely beautiful. Switzerland is actually beautiful everywhere, but this is one of my favorites.
Wonderful video, with loads of beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing your travels with us.
Willa is a certified box office super star! Awesome video guys!
She really is! Thanks ☺️
As usual, a beautiful video and one can really see the fun you are having. Plus, watching villa see in the same phase (denying the obvious) as our daughter is super cute.
Three amazing hikers. and beautiful mountains very beautiful Willa is so sweet singing in the mountains like in Sound of music 🎵🎶🥰 ....now just waiting for some yoddle Tirolian music and Swiss 🫕
Beautiful views!! Willa just makes these videos even more special. Love seeing the cooler temps... It's HOT in Texas right now! This makes my Sunday ❤️
I do feel really blessed right now to live in Switzerland. I live near Lucerne, the view of the Alps, the snow covered high mountains, I can enjoy it everyday. But Switzerland has by far more to offer than just Wengen and the Berner Oberland. The Wallis (basically on the other side of the Jungfrau) is gorgeous, more like the Dolomiti.
For your next trip to Switzerland, check the Swiss Railroad (SBB) for a "Halbtax". I don't know the specifics, but they do offer it also for tourists. It cuts your price for the railways by 50% (excluding the really expensive ones - like the Jungfrau)... But still.
Also the ride on the Bernina Express... Of course they have nice cars, but it is also can be just a normal train ride, for normal prices.
My favorite in Switzerland is the Ticino (Italian speaking part) and also Lac Leman (Lake geneva??).
Yes you are soo lucky to live in Switzerland! 😍 Thanks for your tips on what to see and do! Love a local suggestion!
Tschüss bike sooo cute 😍
So nice to watch your little family having so much fun! Keep those beautiful edited videos coming! Willa is adorable!
Thanks so my Erika! 💛
votre vidéo est magnifique j'ose pas imaginer tout le travail nécessaire au montage. Chapeau pour ce résultat !
This is a beautiful video, fantastically captured surroundings. Switzerland is just unbelievably beautiful.
Thank you! 💛
What a great video. Keep having fun!

Nice that u make it to come to my country . i love my country and you guys are always welcome very nice video
We love Switzerland! Thanks for watching 😊🇨🇭 Stay tuned for more Switzerland videos!
Wauw the Footage & scenery is just Breathtaking. So agree you could sit and look out at it all whole day 😍
You were very lucky with the weather ,which helps the hike too ( not really nice to hike in heavy rain )
Willa your such a joy to watch ,her sing dance etc ❤️
I been to Basel really enjoyed our selfs, beautiful area , was bit more expensive to buy shopping , but i think you get use to
What everything costs once you settle in .( at the moment everything very expensive with the rising cost in General)
Have a Great week 🥰 safe travels
Your landscape videos and the music you choose with it never fail to make me cry and give me goosebumps. Seems like a great adventure :)
Aww this means a lot to us. 💛 We are happy it touched you!
It's great to see kids reactions to all that beauty! Your daughter is great too!
It’s becoming one of our favorite parts about traveling! 💛
We're always watching your videos. You're such a lovely Family. Looking forward for more travel videos! Stay safe, healthy and happy! God bless always!
Love to hear that! 😊 Thanks so much & God bless you guys!
We are at Lake Walen now and headed to Lauterbrunnen in a few days and then onto Zermatt to wrap up an amazing month in Switzerland. We love it here. Thank you for sharing.
Oh my goodness so fun!! Enjoy the rest of your trip! 😍🇨🇭
Love to watch your videos, you guys are so great in conveying the awe, wonder and appreciation for the beauty of our planet, which is full of breathtaking views and experiences where ever you go if you can open your eyes to them :) Thank you for making this aware to so many people :D
Thank you for such kind words! 😊
The Lieselotte trail you’re on is AMAZING for kids! My kids literally loved it. I want to go back and do it again!
It really is so fun! Love that you guys had such a great time! 🤗
This is just sooo beautiful wonderland!!! Thank you!!! and Willa is sooooooo cute!!!!
💛💛
Loved the “Tschüs bike!” Comment from Willa. Made me laugh! Hope you guys have enjoyed Switzerland. Making me want to go soon!!
Thanks so much for watching! We love all Willa’s comments too! 😂
Absolutely awesome and inspirational video. It truly is speaking for itself and makes you get out of the house and explore the world. Keep creating these awesome videos for us to enjoy and be more and more inspired
Thanks Natural Flow! We loved being back in the mountains and we agree, it motivates us to want to get out more! Thanks for watching. Be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already :)
Great video and content! Cheers from
Switzerland 🇨🇭 😋😎✌️
A great video of my favourite place on earth. Hoping to be back in September. We have visited about 10 times and never ever tire of it. Did Willa realise she was channelling Julie Andrews from Sound of Music. It was lovely how you said the cable car was tickling her tummy so it didn't seem scary at all. What great parents you are 😊
Been there a few times. Such a beautiful and magical place.
Willa: "Sound of Music" 🤣
Switzerland is a very beautiful, albeit expensive, country and I well understand why you enjoy visiting. The United States has many splendid sights and national parks but, as you are discovering in the short time you have lived here, nowhere beats Western Europe for the variety of wonderful terrain, cities and culture in such a relatively small area. It is great that you are being so adventurous and exploring so much of it during your tour of duty.
I would give this a triple thumbs-up if that were possible 😁 made me really happy and heartwarmed 💗🌞👍👍👍
I also love the way you're recapping your former adventures at the beginning of each new episode.
Reminds me of my favourite childhood series and the way they did it :-)
Aww love this comment! We absolutely love knowing it makes you feel positive. That’s our goal. Thanks so much! 💛
Glad you liked Switzerland. It's so great for hiking. Greetings from Switzerland, Benjamin
Stunning views
WOW!!! Willa has grown so much!
She’s growing too fast!
Beautiful video... I was in Lauterbrunnen just a month ago.. And went to Wengen for the view from above.. I have seen a lot of this planet.. But that may be best my eyes have seen.. Pretty hard to beat !!! Cheers.. Loving your journey..
Isn't it incredible?
Thanks for following along Mike :) Any suggestions on where we should go in Europe?
@@OurStorytoTell Well lets see..I want to go to Lake Como area...More of Switzerland, Vienna, More of Italy.. ( Dolomites are the best) Personally I want to visit Mont Saint Michel in France, along with the beaches at Normandy ( hallowed ground for me as I am US Army Vet) Someday you should go to Ireland ( Best People) and Iceland (Best Landscapes) Wherever you go I will be watching. ."To Travel Is To Live" Hans Christian Anderson... Cheers..
Hi Guys, thanks for joining us to such beautifull and breathtaking scenery. With sunny conditions and your sunshine your time must have been so exciting. I always laugh to see Willa when she gets overrun by sleep and she can take a nap wherever she is. Nice denglisch: Tschüss bike :-D Enjoy your life
Oh denglish is spoken everyday at our house 😂 Thanks for the nice comment! Willa is the best!
@@OurStorytoTell I am sure she is. Guess she is in contact with german kids and picks up a lot of words. Must be very funny to listen. Dont worry about I am sure later she will sort out easily to speak german or english. Btw, she always looks so nice but I bet she can be also eine Ziege(in casual german language the word Ziege is used for females when the act unruly just to increase your german "portfolio" :-D )
)
Visit the Brienzer Rothorn (the rack railway uses steam locomotives!) and the Pilatus (near Lucerne). Here you can choose between cable car or, starting/ending at Lake Lucerne, the rack railway. Choose the latter at least once - it is world's steepest mountain cogwheel railway!
Oh we actually looked into this and it looked incredible 😍 Next time!
I love these videos . full of happiness 💗💗
Love from Sri Lanka 🍃
I love you guys and I love your paradigms.
best country on earth. I used to work in St. Moritz for almost three years. can't wait to go back soon.
Sounds like a great opportunity! We would love to spend a month or two traveling through the mountains ❤️
Sorry guys, as much as I LOVE the Alps, Willa’s singing was the best part of the video. 😂 You are blessed with such an amazing kid, and she with you both for parents. Great vlog!
Oh we totally agree she was the best part of the vlog! 😊😂 We sure are lucky! Thanks for watching!
It's so nice to see your excitement. Seems like you had a wonderful trip! I have to say that I have never been to the Jungfrau region (except passing by several times), although I've been living in Switzerland for over ten years now! But there are so many other amazing mountains here, and to be honest, there are too many tourists there for my liking. ;) Did you know that most Swiss people have never been on top of the Jungfrau? It's just sooo expensive, even for residents. So don't feel bad about not going - it's what the locals would have done, too.
Btw, next time you visit Switzerland, check out the Lötschental, the Aletschgletscher and/or Arosa! It's incredibly beautiful there.
It is my dream to hike in the Swizz Alps i do Pray i can do it this September. Just came Across your Channel and this is the most Calm family video that i saw to see the Little girl Singing ang talking is just adorabke and cute😄🙂.. I love the fact that you appreciate the Sang of the birds , the Flowers arround which lot's of hikers dont Recognized
Aww thanks so much! We really hope you can make your dream happen! 💛 It’s incredible. We love having you join us on these adventures! 😊
The hills are alive, with the sound of music
Haha exactly right! 😂
I love the video, now I also want to go to Switzerland 😍
We hope you can! 😊
Dolomites for the win! Can't go wrong with a hiking trip there
I've been in at the dolomites (3 Zinnen) and also in Switzerland (Eiger and Jungfrau) and I agree, it cannot be compared.
Your little girl is super cute! Mine is 15, I miss those sweet years.
A Beautyful Video,this natur 🏞️🤩Willa is so cute and a brav little Girl.😍
Thank you for taking us with you! :)
Thanks for watching! 💛
I keep expecting Heidi and Peter to pop out from behind a rock. The goats are already there!
My dad always wanted to take me to Switzerland.. He got the chance to visit back in the 70s and immediately fell in love with the place.. Unfortunately he passed away just a few days after my 16th b-day back in 06, so we never got the chance to go.. But, hopefully I'll get the chance to visit, one of these days 🤞.. That would make him happy knowing that I finally got that chance..
Aww we hope you can make it there too! 💗 Thanks for sharing!
Ahhhh our DREAM is to go to Switzerland one day. We are currently RV'ing around the beautiful Canadian Rockies 😊
We hope you can! You would love it!! And how incredible is your experience right now in Canada 😍😍 WOWZAS!
…a la la all that clouds.. 🎶😊🥰
Haha the best 🎶😂
"Tschüss Bike" awwwww such a sweat Denglish!
Haha we speak it 24/7 in our house 😂
Love this video! Was just there May 29-June 1. Please tell me you go to Oeschinensee next :D
Stay tuned for the video coming out today at 10am! 😉
The Swiss Alps!! One of my top favorite places in the world. God is an awesome artist! I am so excited to be visiting there in October. Thanks for a great video and helpful info!!
It’s so incredible! 💛 We are happy for you to be back there again! Thanks for watching 😊
@@OurStorytoTell I was envious when you guys said you were there 5 years ago. :-) . it's been longer for me. wishing you safe travels and more amazing sites and memories you're creating with your family
We live in Lienz (Osttirol) exactly on the border of the highest Austrian Alps and the Dolomites (We look out on them from our apartment). You guys would love it here and should definitely visit. It is much more affordable in comparison to Switzerland. We moved here from The Netherlands 11 years ago.
Oh my gosh where you live sounds like an absolute dream! We do need to visit your area 😍 Thanks for the suggestion!
You need to visit Zermatt. Also breathtaking. 🥰
Ahh yes we do!
great video! you should visit lake cauma. for me, the most beautiful lake in switzerland. greetings from switzerland
Ah, lake Cauma was on our list for this trip, but we didn't have time for it. It's incredible though that's for sure! Thanks for the comment 💛
And props to Tanner and Risa for bering so athletic.
Best off: "Tschüss bike!" :-)
She’s the best 😂
Cool video!
Hey thanks! 😊
Willa is the Star, look how she has grown
It's so true! It seems now that she doesn't stop growing!
Was there last year beginning of June and you couldn‘t do any hike up there because still snow everywhere.If that was breathtaking for you: Aletsch Glacier by foot and Jungfraujoch by glacier train… just saying :) I love that area, would be there more often if it wouldn‘t be so incredibly expensive (if you don‘t want to camp, to cook yourself and don‘t use any ride…)
this is the meaning of life..!!
Exactly! 💛
Thank you so much for all the pointers and hacks. We are booked to head out to the Alps for 10 days first week of September and we are a family of 5 so strictly camping will be our main accommodations. Do you happen to any suggestion on where we should setup our basecamp? and will it be even possible to do a day trip to Austria considering the amount of time we have planned?
I think Switzerland is the most expensive country in europe! But the views are incredable. And Willa seems to be a happy little girl! No wonder with those parents...
yes for sure. was in Switzerland for 10 days, dropped $14,000 aud
Awesome video, especially due to your little daughter. How lovely she is. At 15:32 probably you suggested an alternative route mentioning better view downhill to hike down. I could not understand the route as I do not know in which direction lies Grindenwald or Wengen. Could you summarize the better route please?
Now.... so many people keep telling you what a little treasure Willa is. I will not repeat it because it is obvious. But I want to mention what awesome parents you are!
Honestly, if there is rebirth and we would be asked to chose our parents before, I would love having some of your kind! You're giving her so much security and comfort, show her so many awesome places and let her grow up extremely free but NOT unguided. I am aware that life is not always as sunny as the joy you spread with your videos. But I am convinced a child can hardly have better parents than you are! Keep it up, God bless you all!
Thanks for the extremely kind comment 💛. We are far from perfect and life isn't always as it seems in our videos, but we try our best to make the most of each situation and opportunity. We hope she can look back years down the road and notice that effort.
Best wishes to you and God bless!
@@OurStorytoTell thank you!
What a wounderfull Trip and wounderfull Video. I have a Health Tipp for you: the UV Strahlung is much higher in the Alps somit is better to Pütz a hat on Spezial for Little Kids like Sweet Willa. LG Beate
Thanks! Yes we meant to pack it but it got forgotten like the chairs 🤦♀️😂
This reminds me of my vacation in Austria last year. It was my first time really being in the mountains and I loved it! I gotta go to Switzerland some time.
And we need to go visit Austria more! 😍
Hi, we are going by campervan in Switzerland this September. Just wondering what carrier you guys are using and if you are happy with it?
We are also expat living close to dusseldorf 😉
Hi Samia!
We have the Poco Plus backpack from Osprey and we absolutely love it! Your trip sounds incredible. How long are you going for?
How is Düsseldorf! Where are you originally from?
loved the video. maybe you can return when willa is old enough to do the adventure things :D
That’s our plan 😊
Come to Freiburg with the cable car to the Schauinsland.
Ah great suggestion! 😊
I really like you're not dressed like the typical American with running shoes, white socks, sweat pants and baseball hat.
Also i really like the natural beauty of the woman in this video.
This couple blends in perfectly with European people.
Thank you! 😊 Maybe we are becoming more European everyday!
She’s so cute! Never grow up Willa! Please. 😩
AMEN to that!
Have fun guys, also a beautiful Video. &nice background musik.
one of my friend lives in swizaland and her instagram message reply option not working how to do that? Please help.
Monumental..
Right!
That song needs to go on repeat lol
Haha! 😂
If you could base yourself in one place for 4 days where would you all choose ?
Beautiful video. Can you tell us exactly where you are at the 47 second mark of the video for the "best view in all the swiss alps"? I can tell it's somewhere in / slightly above Wengen but do you have any more specifics about how to get there? A street address or gps coordinates or anything?
Look in the description to see the exact location :)
Ok thanks. See it now. Sorry. Is that a difficult / strenuous location to walk to from the Wengen train station? I’m traveling with a group that has some older people in it.
Were you there during the World Economic Forum?
Would explain the helicopter traffic... it's the shuttle service between Davos and the airport at lake constance.
Wrong region ;) Davos is in Graubünden, whereas they were in canton Bern in the west.
GRINDELWALD 😱
What kind of backpack is that you have Wila in?
We have the Osprey Poco Plus and love it! 😊
Please tell me, you are not working 40 hours a week with 30 days payed leave!!! I would not be able to travel so much as you guys, even without a job!! Keep enjoying your trips! 🙂
😂 guilty! Except with one minor correction. I only have about 20 days of leave, so we try to take advantage of all the holidays as we can for our trips. We have definitely talked about taking things a bit slower because it can be a lot. But, for now we are enjoying the beautiful weather and are looking forward to enjoying the rest of the summer!
The Willa-girl is a sweety :)
U guys recommend to renting a car or using public train?
We’ve done both actually. With a child or a lot of luggage, a car! Also if you know your accommodation is further away from a train station, then choose a car! The train is nice because Switzerland is super scenic so you don’t have to worry about driving and can take in all the views! 😊
