Hello from vancouver island. The reason I found your page is I was watching a video of David, from the island also, the man aiming for 1000 peaks, and near the end and in a segment one of the things he mentioned was that you were the reason hiking videos are so popular. I think he is quite underrated and deserves a shoutout somehow. The first video of yours I watched was you and your wife were in a hot bath springs in Iceland I think, it was so well done and quite touching. Looking forward to catching up on all of your videos.
@@derbigpr500No it does not😂 you’re completely exaggerating here. If you don’t notice the 700 million plus density of various European countries while traveling there than you’re blind. I would even argue many of their great mountainous landscapes, especially the Alps, too much development n a real lack of wilderness you see in other parts of the world. The Alps are nonetheless elegant and photogenic for sure. It deserves high marks for the creature comforts, which don’t come as frequently on other spectacular mountain ranges. But I also find such conveniences too much n it goes against the grain of true escape n more independent exploration. But yes, lots of great natural scenery in Europe: the mountains of Norway and the Caucasus region, also part of Asia, take the cake in Europe due to better wilderness experiences.
I love watching theses videos. It really makes me appreciate my home country so much more. Living here for all my life, sometimes you can forget how beautiful this country actually is.
Easily one of the most impressive hikes I’ve ever done. Wasserauen, Aescher, to Säntis, Rotsteinpass, Meglisalp and back. A sea of clouds beneath me, clear skies above and mountains all around. Life does not get better than this. Thanks for the video, this stirrs some great memories. And all the best for you and your family!
There is a tone which you tend to capture in your videos that seriously captivates me. Any chance I get, I recommend you to others' who enjoy hiking, camping, or traveling. Your videos are absolutely stunning! I'm still in awe with you being a father, I remember discovering you back in 2020 I believe, and now you're married; and a father! Congrats, I hope for the best my friend!
The cat right off the train is everything!!! 😸 This is such a gorgeous video - absolutely breathtaking. I'd also love to do the gliding stuff off a mountain top one day, it looks amazing. And I love that you went back to the format of update after video :) Looking forward to hopefully being able to snag a ticket to the Switzerland hike next year!!!
Hey Sharon...here are 3 beautiful areas from a less known country in terms of tourism. See their videos first. Do let me know did you like it? They are - Kumrat Valley, Naltar Valley and Hunza. Type these keywords and see for yourself.
I've done this hike in July, but going straight to Meglisalp without the Schäfler/Mesmer part. It was astoundingly beautiful, but the weather got foggy before I reached Saxer Lücke. Glad to see your images of what I've missed.
Hello Kraig, I'm from Germany and I'm a big fan of the way you make your videos. I enjoy every one of your videos, including your last video from the Appenzeller region in Switzerland. The silence, the wonderful pictures - simply wonderful. I also have a channel myself and attach great importance to silent hiking. Thank you for everything. Good health to you and your family. Best wishes, Werner😊👋🌞🍀
It’a mind boggling that you came up with such an amazing video despite the time constraint. Thanks for taking us through! I found your chanel back in early 2018 when you’re doing some travel vlogs. I found you’re so candid, full sense of humor and a great story teller with a cool cinematic talent. There came a period of silent hiking footage which to me quite personal because damn I love hiking too! And now you’re officially a father, you’ve come so far and it’s so wonderful to witness your becoming. Whatever road you take from here, I believe you’re always gonna nail it! I am all here for your new seasons ahead! All the best wishes for you Kraig.
I am currently working in Meglisalp (one of the hotels that appears on this video) and can confirm that this area is probably the most beautiful place I've seen in my life. Amazing video :)
This video leaves two impressions on me: how mind bogglingly beautiful Switzerland is, and how sad I am knowing I'll probably never get to do things like this.
Congratulations on becoming a Dad!!! Just got back from Grindelwald/Lauterbrunnen and looking to do some hiking up the Hudson Valley before the weather gets too cold! Wishing you and your new family all the best ~
This video almost made me cry! I still cannot believe how beautiful Switzerland is even tho I have been there myself. Your videos made me want to try and hike le tour du mont blanc next year. I think I will do it.
Great to see Kraig now Papa Kraig back on the trail and we got to go along for the hike! TY for yet another unforgettably beautiful evocative experience... and congrats on your new personal family and professional level ups.
It’s a few people like kraig can hike like this kind of place I can call the haven , it is a beauty of the planet, and I can imagine how you fill when you walk and fill that nature closely the smell air breeze , every moment is more and more beautiful, thank you from California,
wow another fantastic work of art. Also congratulations on becoming a dad! When you were talking about having full creative control and being a company of one, it resonated big time with me. I really hope to meet you one of these days, mabye I'll catch you on your next Switzerland trip. I may have some Swiss hiking ideas for you that are not well known but nonetheless amazing. Keep it up and thank you so much for you work.
Hi Kraig, highly recommend to hike in Kyrgyzstan, people who's been in Switzerland saying Kyrgyzstan is the second Switzerland in term of nature. But underdeveloped and it has its own unique such us people hospitality, culture, food, even the prices are affordable for eveyone. Wish you safe foremost in your every trip Kraig. Love your videos!
when its time, family hike videos would be cool. good starter hike idea... Catskills, Giants ledge, 1.5 ish miles up, 800 feet or so gain. wife and i took 6yo, 4yo, 2yo up there this June. Great view at the top, hopefully sets the hook deep yeah!?
Hello, how are you? I am a regular viewer of your UA-cam channel. I came here to say that- "Your channel always leaves me excited for the next upload!" Good Luck
loved watching this on a slow Sunday morning - the pacing was perfect and matched the pace of your hiking well which felt relaxed. 13:42 is the money shot of course but I also loved the framing and perspective at 10:17. (0:34 gave me anxiety about thinking of stepping off the train to set up the camera, stepping back on, and timing it with the doors closing though damn haha). love the return of this format as well.
nice catch. I've been experimenting with extra wide angle tilted up shots for forest scenes. interesting look. Didn't even realize the risk i was taking with the train doors haha
the place is beautiful but believe me it will not look this beautiful when we shoot from our phone. Kraig have a skill to capture it in its best way possible
God bless your family brother, always loved your mindfullness approach to things! - from a fellow filmmaker and dad of a 4yo princess and a 2yo little warrior
Kraig your videos to me and my family to Picos de Europa. Potes is a nice typical town. Thanks for the invitation we get at each of your adventures to try them ourselves and hope to continue with my son.
lol the part where you mention mt. whitney before permitting season. did that earlier this year and I completely get you. feel like I can do anything now 😂
Swiss hiker here: Great video, beautiful shots, great editing. Love that you enjoyed it. For people watching this: please wear proper gear. We want hikers to be safe, which means proper foot wear, which includes hiking boots, not sneakers. We have tons of tourists hiking in inappropriate gear, like sneakers, and they sprain their ankles due to lack of ankle support etc. :) Oh, and also: Locals here are gossiping a lot and quietly look down on people wearing inappropriate shoes when hiking or mountaineering... :D
Hi Kraig, your videos bring so much refreshment and healing thankyou so much for making such a work of art!! By the way i LOVE the songs, can you mention them?
This film is beyond beautiful Kraig.. I should book a trip to Switzerland soon. The only problem is that they have too many beautiful trails. I wouldn't know where to start

I couldn't believe that such a breathtaking place like this existed on Earth. thanks for you showing this for us!
The entire Europe looks as breathtaking as this.
Look up the Icefields Parkway from Alberta!
My thoughts exactly. It’s as if it came right out of a fantasy movie. I guess it’s time to go to Europe
@@derbigpr500 have you been to belgium or the netherlands ?
@@derbigpr500No it does not😂 you’re completely exaggerating here. If you don’t notice the 700 million plus density of various European countries while traveling there than you’re blind.

That is honestly one of the most beautiful, almost fantasy-like places I've ever seen. Stunning.

Thanks. You know what it's truly like up there. I hoped to get up to Santis but that snowstorm the days before had other ideas
Hey man. Did you track yours through alltrails perhaps? if so, could you be so kind to send it to me if possible. thanks.
Switzerland is the most beautiful place on earth!
kraig, thank you for letting us see such beauty.
Hi, Kraig, my whole family loves your channel. Very inspiring! You are also a charming person yourself. We all love you.

This video leaves two impressions on me: how mind bogglingly beautiful Switzerland is, and how sad I am knowing I'll probably never get to do things like this.

Great to see Kraig now Papa Kraig back on the trail and we got to go along for the hike! TY for yet another unforgettably beautiful evocative experience... and congrats on your new personal family and professional level ups.
The resilience of wildlife in their natural habitats is nothing short of inspiring.
Your travel photos are absolutely breathtaking
I walked to Seealpsee with my family from the parking lot two years a go and its so nice to see the familiar places again!
Love the I’m a dad part in the middle of the video, very open, honest and refreshing.
Thanks
Beautiful capture, peaceful, joyful. Thank you❤
the Saxer Lucke mountain shot is absolutely phenomenal, took my breath away.
Beautiful landscapes!
i was in Switzerland in June in the same region. Mesmer was killer!!! Enjoyed reliving it.
Thanks Kraig for taking us along on this stunningly beautiful hike. Bucket list is filling up.
So nice to watch that again. Thanks, man
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS MOUNTAINSCAPE ... COMGRATS ON BECOMING A DAD KRAIG!!!
Beautiful video thank you, Switzerland is like heaven on earth.
Damn, I was just here two weeks before you! So nice to see it also through your lens. Glad there was no snow yet haha
It's just unreal how beautiful Switzerland is, the fact that they have 60,000 kms of hiking trails in such a small area is truly incredible.
ever since your hornstrandir video you inspired me to want to travel and hike, i was in appenzell this may so its crazy to relive it in this video.
It’s a few people like kraig can hike like this kind of place I can call the haven , it is a beauty of the planet, and I can imagine how you fill when you walk and fill that nature closely the smell air breeze , every moment is more and more beautiful, thank you from California,

Meu sonho 😮, um dia poder caminhar por lugares assim, natureza,matas, lagoas, show de exuberância...
A Suiça é um paraíso
YES! KRAIG POSTED 🎉YAAAYYYYY
13:55 perfect healing spot right there ❤❤❤
That shelf trail at about the 08:30 mark is a stunner!
Kraig is back!
Amazing! Lots of sun for September
the place is beautiful but believe me it will not look this beautiful when we shoot from our phone. Kraig have a skill to capture it in its best way possible
such a beautiful country
Wow, a beautiful place 👍Very nicely filmed - thanks for sharing!
Awesome video!! Thank you ❤
rope swing is new bucket list item, quite dope
Beautiful Switzerland.
Thank you! Amazing place.
What an incredible video of my "home" mountains. 🤩 Btw. the area is called Alpsteinmassiv (23:58)
Natural is beautiful and I like it.❤
you really could just drop the unedited footage of this hike. The mountains, the snow, the clouds.... incredible
God bless your family brother, always loved your mindfullness approach to things! - from a fellow filmmaker and dad of a 4yo princess and a 2yo little warrior

Лучшее видео за последнее время
you're the best at this type of videos man
That shot at 6:52 is everything
Swiss hiker here: Great video, beautiful shots, great editing. Love that you enjoyed it. For people watching this: please wear proper gear. We want hikers to be safe, which means proper foot wear, which includes hiking boots, not sneakers. We have tons of tourists hiking in inappropriate gear, like sneakers, and they sprain their ankles due to lack of ankle support etc. :) Oh, and also: Locals here are gossiping a lot and quietly look down on people wearing inappropriate shoes when hiking or mountaineering... :D
hiking boot people are cringe
13:48 omg that was absolutely worth it
The place is so amazing, and vlogging alone is too hard, he have to done every moves again, that requires a dedication and passion
so peaceful.
Hi Kraig, your videos bring so much refreshment and healing thankyou so much for making such a work of art!! By the way i LOVE the songs, can you mention them?
beautiful hike and congrats on becoming a dad!
Looks awesome!
That Fog bank is unreal! Great upload Kraig!
This film is beyond beautiful Kraig.. I should book a trip to Switzerland soon. The only problem is that they have too many beautiful trails. I wouldn't know where to start
Thankyou sir for this video❤
