In today's van life episode, I found what I believe to be the best campsite in Europe! It’s called Camping Jungfrau in Lauterbrunnen. Switzerland. I drove a borrowed campervan (motorhome) through Switzerland. I've been wanting to visit there for years now, and it certainly didn't disappoint!
I used to hate campsites as I love wild camping / stealth camping. But when they can provide a park up like this, and a base point to explore. I'm all for them!

The unexpected and delightful bonus of cancelling my tv licence and saying goodbye to the hypocrisy is discovering the delights of channels like yours. Fanx!
Thank you.. hope you enjoy what’s to come!
I used to work at that Lauterbrunnen campsite 20 years ago…. I say “work”, spent most of the time looking at the stunning scenery 😄 love it 🇨🇭
That must've been incredible!! 😯
Mate your channel is on another level now, if anyone needs to learn how to grow a youtube channel they need to follow you. Congrats man hope you hit the 100.000 very soon 🇬🇧
Thank you mate! Growth is fairly slow at the moment but hopefully I’ll get there one day!
Adz has done/does a really good job with YT 💪
@@AdzI’m surprised it hasn’t got air con dude
It's our favourite country as well! We are heading there again in September!
The rows of ''trees'' you pointed out at the top of the hill are actually wooden fences at an angle, so when it snows in the winter the snow/ice attaches to the fences and stops avalanches.
Ah ok thanks! Someone else mentioned them too. I have learnt something!
Beautiful video again Adam, Thankyou for making it for us and reaffirming to me every week why I do t need a tv license!
Well thank you for watching! It’s much appreciated :)
Loving the channe. I lived in Germany as a kid and your video jetisoned me back to long gone memories of travels once had. Excellent work. Thank you. 🙏
as a resident here, I love to see you visit and enjoy Switzerland! If you need any guidance or something alike in and around Zurich/Aargau feel free to hmu
I'm half way through your Switzerland episode and I'm really glad you chose Lauterbrunnen. I hope you visited Trummelbach falls which are located in lauterbrunnen. It's an amazing experience watching and listening to 60000 litres of water per second falling through a cave. And if you missed it I recommend you make another trip over there. Merry Christmas mate
Nice to see you on your new adventure, have a great time. If you are looking for inspiration for your next adventure, try Iceland, my favourite country.
Just wow, the scenery !!
Top tip for that Lauterbrunnen campsite - You can park in the visitor car park outside for free if you've stayed on the campsite the night before Just ask reception for a visitor pass) .. Gives you another day to enjoy the stunning surroundings 🚐💨🇨🇭❤
+ If you do stay there I'd recommend the tram ride to 'The Top of Europe' - Jungfrau is well worth the £200ish that it is 👌🏻
+ I also camped in an un-insulated tent back in September 2018 there, it's cold - I do not recommend that 😂
Stunning place I’ve drove through that part of the world and every corner you drive around well just amazing
We’ve been going to Camping Jungfrau for years and never tire of it.
we like Camping Jungfrau too. Fabulouse scenery and friendly staff.
Always a pleasure to watch your videos! I've been to Switzerland in 2014 but another area. Its so beautiful there i still miss it 😢
What a fantastic video Adam. You travelled through heaven. 😊
Yeah it was so nice there! I definitely want to re-visit!
Great video and I enjoyed it. One thing though if I may be so bold. I once parked in Germany next to a fast flowing river during a heavy down pour. In the morning the river had burst its banks and and I woke up to water a foot deep around the tyres, I panicked big time. I only just managed to get out with a tow from the site manager as my wheels were well mudded in to the grass. Since that time I always watch where I am parking if I am near a river. I have seen many videos where you see Motor homes floating down rivers during floods that were not expected. Thanks again.
I went to Switzerland when I was 11 on a school trip. We went to some blue lakes, a glacier, and Piz Gloria, the revolving restaurant from the bond film. It's a lovely country with loads to see and brilliant walks.
I went to all those places at the same age on a school trip too.... Not with Clare Park Secondary , by any chance? 😁
@andyk101 No, it was the Plume school this 30 odd years ago.
Great as always looks a great place where you’ve been I was drooling looking at the corn dog but it wasn’t up to being the one
Another great Adzventure always good to travel to new places with you
Great video, that waterfall was something special and there was a swiss flag next to it !!! Oh the lady receptionist was really nice !!!
Yeah I was thinking for ages about that flag being up there 😂
I said the same when I drove the whole of Switzerland in 2018 haha, I also camped in Lauterbrunnen and it's incredible. I drove it again at the beginning of 2024 while touring Europe for 3 months in my Defender - Out of the 12 Boarders I crossed in that time, Lake Como, Austria and Switzerland were the most beautiful✨
Austria is definitely somewhere I need to visit soon! It’s another one that’s been on my list for a while
@adz if you were excited about pitch 007, you should have walked further up the valley, could have got a cable car to 3826 Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland aka Blowfelds mountain hideout, OHMSS.
Yet again another amazing vlog, what a beautiful place.. Love how happy you are when you see pigeons, keep safe and safe travels ☯️
"Can I have a pint of beer and make sure 4 inches of it is foam"! Last time I saw a head like that, Herman Munster was attached to it!
Seems to be like that in a fair few places in Europe actually! Not ideal haha
You are brilliant thank you. You make me laugh so hard. I'm glad you are doing some content on motorhoming being an avid motorhomer/caravanner myself funny to see the little things we encounter at campsites and the same questions pop into my head came to yours.also a tip turn off toll roads on your GPS it will take you to fantastic little villages and roads and some little adventures.Fantastic mate.keep up the good work.
Welcome to my hometown Lucerne. Btw, the bridge (Kapellbrücke) burnt completely down in August 1993.
It's incredible there, definitely heading back soon 🤗
Great video. I visit Lucerne every year with my Swiss wife and love Kapellbrücke or Chapel Bridge 🙂. Never been to the Pigeon restaurant though lol.
If you get a cable car from Lauterbrunnen you can visit a revolving James Bond restaurant called "Piz Gloria" - It's on top of a mountain called the Schilthorn. Would make an ace video. It was on the film "On Her Majesty's Secret Service"
And it’s ace
Ah I wish I knew. Not planning has its advantages I think. But occasionally planning in advance could lead to seeing things like that!
@@Adz Yes - I'd be exactly the same BUT PLEASE visit it, check out the various UA-cam footage. There is a 24 hour webcam up there I think. Also "Cercle" did a live concert up there, drone footage is amazing. It's a fair journey up there via 2x cable cars. There a town midway called Murren which is also great - traffic free so no Pidgeons allowed ;(
8:45 up the mountain, Avalanche barriers, job for the Heli drivers to take up there and drop off to ground crew to fit👍 lots of great places to visit in CH.
Thanks for the info. I never knew that!
Great update mate. Only been to Switzerland once but must have been in the wrong part as didn't see the scenes you saw. Drive carefully buddy! Looking forward to the next one.
I’m pretty sure there’s other very similar places too. But lauterbrunnen has been on my list for years now! Thanks mate, will do!
Stunning adzs what a beautiful place. Your sense of humour just cracks me up 😂love it. Maxx
Looking forward to Switzerland they keep a low profile generally but has to be a highlight of Europe
Beautiful Place. I've always wanted to visit Switzerland.
Great video Adz the receptionist was lovely and think she had a thing for you
Campsites don't get any better than that first one, surely. Wow, that was so beautiful 😍 Your drone shots are always breathtakingly good. Only you could go away and find a Pigeon themed Restaurant Adz 😅 Loving the more frequent uploads. Great video as always 😁
That has to be one of the most beautiful places ever x
Yeah it was so nice there! I definitely need to go back asap!
1 bite and in the bin, great video, you just can't beat that for mirth! played fella lol
great ,vid ,adz lucky to say ive stayed here,,,,, stunning place,,,,,,
Im kinda new here, but your the first van camper youtuber i have watched, i dont have the money or means to do this my self so watching your vids gives me a way to do it even if im not actualy there' love your vids.
Glad you found the channel! And thank you for watching!
M8 how beautiful is Switzerland 😊, I’ve been there once & it’s so picturesque. I can’t believe a super expensive camper you’re in hasn’t got air conditioning 😮
Nice adz, going to add this to the places to visit list. 👍
Thats a funny looking coffee nice video places u been in this lookd amazing
sweet location thanks for sharing your adventures mate - keep on
Just what I need on a chill Sunday. Amazing as usual
Hope you enjoy it!
Oh yes I enjoyed it mate. All you were missing was a toastie 😂
What I always remember about Switzerland is how disgustingly content and healthy the people in those mountain villages looked! Oh, and how expensive the country is!
"Disgustingly content and healthy". Interesting thing to be bothered by. You must be a very miserable, angry, and spiteful person. So sad. I hope you are able to find some contentment some day.
Nice one pal the place looked stunning 😀, keep up the good work. Atb Wullie ✊🏻🏴
Great video. That river!!!
That corn dog suddenly going in the bin made me spit my drink out laughing 😂😂😂
not enough dog 😂
I know a Korean corn dog when I see one! hahaha well at least you gave it a try.
superb content ADZ as always safe travels
Thank you mate!
love the content and u always keep it entertaining
Hey, King of Pizza Eaters! I laughed when I saw you plugging a healthy drink!
Another great video mate enjoy 👍
It’s a beautiful town there looks very calm and idyllic funny with the sausage so it was so bad 😂
I think the alps is my second favourite part of Europe, Norway just pips it for me but both places are gorgeous
I think I need to see Norway in summer before I judge to be fair!
@@Adz do it! you will not regret it.
Man, if I knew you came to switzerland 🇨🇭, would be nice to meet. Luzern is my favourite city and I do also overnight at the same Campsite 😊
Impressive drone shots . Thats got be hard . Im accident waiting to happen id not stand chance against you filming . Xxxxx
Thank you!
Surprised you haven’t tried a cheese fondue 🫕 there! That corn thing was pigeon food 😅 nice well deserved beer 🍺 must say Switzerland 🇨🇭 rocks mr bond adz
Happy days and good times 👍🏻🐦
🐦🐦🐦
Excellent Bud, enjoy.
Thank you!
Another great video Ad 👍🏻
That didn't look like a coffee at the end... lol
Those drone shots 😍
The digital bird did good!
What a cliff hanger you left us on! How was the beverage??
Try Austria , very much like Switzerland but 'cheaper'ish '.. It's like they Jet Wash the country every night there !! ... so clean ,
Good luck with your travels, we will be following you :) didnt find any difference betwern insta photo and yours. It is too hard !!
That corndog was destined for the bin 😂👍
It shouldn’t have even been produced 😂
@@Adzbut why!? It looked good
The Digital Bird is no match for a Swiss Chopper 👍
I should’ve had duel haha
OMG u make me laugh, unfortunately they get everywhere lol ,nice camp spots I'm so jealous
You should've said!! My son lives in Como. Come down to Rome, I'll offer you dinner!
I never usually know where I’m going to be until literally the last minute haha. And thanks for the offer!
amazing Adz
Quite nice!
Hi Sweet, look at me catching you 39 minutes after posting. I'm getting good right??? So when are you coming to the US and why are you in a motorhome??? I didn't catch the why if you threw it in the last video. Hugs!
Although I've enjoyed what I have seen, I've not seen many of your videos so my question is, where is Becktoria?
I barely get the chance to see her these days! I did meet up with her a few months back and I think we’re planning a meet fairly soon though
Another ace video sir!
Thank you! I’m glad people are enjoying this type of video because it means I can visit more nice places!
@@Adz i think whatever you do, people will watch! I would 😁😁
@@bettyourcampervan fingers crossed!
Camping Wang in Beatenberg has the best views
I came to Luzern for a month to help a mate build a Bar, still here 23 years later!
If you aren't coming back can I play with the mini? 😂😂 pete
Some god tier drone footage this time around :D
Thanks! Yeah those views were amazing!
Revolut! Hope your stacking sats
???
If you get a chance - take the train up the mountians
Cheers Adz.
🐦🐦🐦
The emoji for pigeon 🐦 is pretty bad !
Blue bird 🐦 is the same!
Bird 🐦 is the same!
I think that is an insult to pigeons🐦🐦🐦
On the bridge comparison I noticed homer Simpson hiding under the woman's top, other than that bang on match😂
Amazing video Adz!
Shame about the Corn Dog.
What campsite did you use for your visit to Lucerne
Hi adz.
New sub to your channel.
I’ve watched a few of your videos since you were at the shed with Mel. like your style. What is your fascination with pigeons? Are you a fancier back home?
Thank you! And no I’m not, but just love pigeons 😂
How are you getting on with all that extra space after using the Mini?😅
I could think of worse roads to travel 112 miles! ❤
It’s actually pretty deceiving an automatic too. Never used to like them
Stayed on both those campsites. Switzerland is stunning but extremely expensive. Im with you those corn dogs are disgusting.
That is the ONE
Great video….gotta ask….where can I get a pair of those shades?
Thanks! Not sure which pair you mean as I had 2 pairs on this trip. But either way I can’t really help unfortunately. 1 pair I actually made a full episode about trying to find them and I can’t. And the other ones came from a services somewhere in Italy or Switzerland
nice spot
I definitely want to go back!
You just drove past Rolex factory and didn’t even notice 😂
Lovely spot, crazy ass river would have me worried though :P
I’m wondering how deep it was!
@@Adz I don't know the depth but the flow rate at the Mellingen gauge upstream from Lucerne at time of posting is 164 cubic metres a second. By contrast the Thames at Kingston was only flowing 20.5 cubic metres per second. So 8 times the flow rate of the Thames at Kingston, even at the speed it was rushing past, is gonna be pretty deep. Alpine rivers just blow your mind with how much water is in them.
@misterthegeoff9767 that’s mad. But yeah when I was looking at the drone shots of how much water is coming down from all the waterfalls it’s not as surprising I suppose!
I think that women on reception at the campsite had a twinkle in her eye and was hoping for a night of passion in the campervan😂
😂😂😂
Wow so beautiful
What is the motorhome hire company?
he's voice feels like someone is giving cricket match commentary
No air con must be hot
I was hoping you was going to eat a pigeon 🤪
Nooooo haha
