My best memory of my first trip to Switzerland in 2004 was the sustenpass I camped on it and spent a week on the stunning roads surrounding it :-) pure heaven
Wow. If it wasn't for cameras made to be fitted onto motorcycles I'd probably sleep when I come home from work but the passion is way to strong. Thank you for taking us on that little journey what a view
Amazing roads Baron. You should try the mountain roads and the coastal roads in Gran Canaria, really gorgeous and diverse scenery and and great turns, some of them pretty scary as well.
Don't worry about that "lack of talking", Baron: that fact by itself speaks volumes. Just taking in the scenery and listening to the engine noise makes me all dreamy 😀
These were my exact thoughts riding through the mountains in Scotland a few months ago, I actually slowed down to just cruise through them instead of nailing it through the corners
i love how i just watched a crazy vlog from do it with dan with racing and stuff and now im watching a calm cruising video from the baron it really works out quite nice
Whether road or enduro it has got to be some of the best riding in the world.....I'm lucky enough to frequent the Italian alps alot and it never fails to blow me away... great vid Baron...Ride Safe
Super! If you want to see rough mountains, go visit the Dolomites. And mount your camera on the left side. That's better when you drive on the right side of the road. Anyway, great movie!
Loved the way you talked about just enjoying the ride. I like to ride fast doing some twistie roads but sometimes i get to some beautiful mountains and just go enjoying the view at slow pace.
Baron, in July my better half and I did pretty much same passes as you two now, just with a car (this time...)- even that was breathtaking... And now watching your videos all the memories are coming back- definitely will go back, hopefully by bike next time... Or the one after that... Highly recommended route for vacation to everybody...
I must now make a Europe trip to do this. If you ever come state side There are a few stretches like that in Appalachians. I haven't been out to Rockies yet but you bet there are some out there too. You have the same joy in your voice that I did when I did Skyline Dr.
My Mrs and I did a similar trip this July. Susten pass deffo a highlight. Go to Switzerland, enjoy the roads and the scenery..... then carry on into Austria if you don't want your pants pulled down for decent accommodation and food. Check out the Hantenjoch and the Grossglockner passes. Then take the Black Forest highway (b500) on your way back to Blighty (if you absolutely have to come back). Great video BvG!
I did a tour through these passes a few weeks before you guys did. Best experience of my entire life! These videos make me relive every moment, thanks for that. I get that dumbstruck feeling, every stop I could only say "Wow". On the other side, Baron's got a JoJo sticker on his bike, I think things are getting pretty serious then ;)
Really enjoying your content, makes me really want to get up to the Rocky Mountians in the US this summer, US version of the Alps, but with the added attraction of being able to find bears, moose and elk on any given corner.
I life about 1h away from this pass and this summer we went there to watch the sunrise!!! Please baron put this on your list. I'ts absolutly amazing ;)
You should definitely take a look at the Gross Glockner in Austria. Went there this August. Loved it. We drove and stayed in the Carnic Alps for 3 Days. To be honest, I did not want to drive home.
Love the channel content. We went up that when I was a kid, my dad was driving a Nissan Serena and a twin axle caravan. Was the best thing ever. There’s a road that goes out over the glacier and back in again. I’m going back one day and doing what you’re doing. Safe riding
Baron, I get the same reaction you do whenever I'm in the mountains.... an 'ooooh' or an 'ahhhh' round every corner as the views get better and better!
The Alps really are stunning during the sunny months. Lovely during winter too but that fresh mountain air during summer, just.. wow. I rode a Honda CBX500 in Lanzarote last year and it completely changed my perception of riding. Hoping to trade in my sport bike next year for something like a GS or Tiger. So much more chilled out to ride, lovely position to sit in and ya don't feel pressured to get knee down on every corner. Had an absolute blast just cruising round the beautiful scenery.
Thanks for every time that you share these wondeful journeys. The rides, unto themselves, are amazing, but when you throw in the BvG musings........jolly good stuff!
awesome! I've done the grimsel, and youre right the susten looks to be that much better. Who doesnt get that feeling of awe and amazement when surrounded with such beauty? It is emotional, if you feel nothing there seems to be something wrong with you.
I went nostalgic today and watched your old BvG videos as they remind me of a time when my life was calmer... they are the equivalent of a warm bath... watching the videos I got the urge to want to do a tour and I wanted to ask if you ever thought about hosting a tour or would you suggest a tour company for a European escape. Thanks as always... now I need the bubbles for the bath.
When feeling a little pissed off with living in England, I just pop this on for a bit, then pop on redtube for a bit, and alls ok with the world... for a bit.
The real shame is that the people who live and work there probably take the whole place for granted. These kinds of places also make me quite emotional too, I think its probably a mix of beauty and the enormity of it all. I'm not in a position yet to visit this particular area so it makes me all the more appreciative that the likes of the Barron make these staggering vids. Well done sir.
I did it 10 days ago on a 2010 Moto Guzzi V7. On my way to Mandello del Lario to celebrate the bike's 10th birthday. It was awesome. I did it in the other direction, as I was staying at Lauterbrunnen that night and doing the Grimsel and Furka the next day. Switzerland (though I think Chris had a whoopsy more recently than this vid) is incredible...
I was down that way about a month ago, it's other worldly .... I need to be back there asap! Also did a two week trip to Norway in June which was awesome too , highly recommended ... All 5 of us on GS's naturally 😜
I get the same sense of awe in the mountains. All my hobbies involve being in a mountain environment: skiing, mountain biking, hiking, motorcycle touring. You should check out the South Island of NZ if you ever get the chance - absolutely epic mountain roads.
Yes this was a beautiful ride through some stunning scenery. Sometimes it's hard to find the right superlative to describe the scene and that's alright which is exactly why you didn't need to entertain us with description at every turn. Good job and nice video.
Wow. On my bucket list for sure. Stunning Barron if you ever read this, why don’t you take your GS down that green road you tried on the gixer a few years ago. I’ve watched and laughed at that video a few times. I know, revelling in your misery and all but damp that was a great video. Would be fun to see where it goes. Cheers
I love Switzerland and I love the Susten pass. I've been there 4 times now and actually visited again three weeks ago. it's such a beautiful country. I've ridden a big chunk of Europe now but I always seem to want to pass Switzerland. just last week I went on a second trip I went to the south of France, north of Spain, Andorra, Maritime Alps and back through Switzerland again (!) to go to the black Forrest in Germany. I recommend the swiss alps to everyone. car or bike, it doesn't matter. Go!
+BaronVonGrumble you need to ride Vietnam south to North (Or the other way around). You would...LOVE IT. And I would love watching you do it!! The best part is the fact you buy a bike at the start and sell it at the end - so you have no idea what you're in for. And the roads/scenery is amazing.
1:00 I often ride 250km with my little cbf500 on the autobahn and i use every construction site with speed limitations to stand up a little bit. I always get funny looks frome those cagers :D
I just recently moved to Germany, Bavaria. Have lived in England for 10 years(and loved it) and before the big move(driving here via hired van) sold my bike.......let me tell you- i cannot wait for my new bike before next summer to go on the Alpine adventures( i can see some of the Bavarian and some of the Austrian Alps from my Balcony!!!!) ... just 5 more month of saving, just 5 more month O_O
Wow is quite a useful word...I use it quite a bit bumbling around the mountains here in Italy...I also use the words "Look at that!" and "For gods sake, just watch the bloody road!"
Thanks for this, Baron; as someone who is not even remotely close to Switzerland (American) this is a real treat, and I agree with you; you could be on a scooter (gross) and still enjoy the roads there. Also, I don't mean to be rude, but this is the first time I've seen "your woman" and well......hot damn you lucky bastard. I mean that in the nicest way possible, of course. A girl who likes to ride is just the dream!
That‘s what we have here in Switzerland all summer long! 👍👍💪💪And it never gets boring!!! I always start at 5.00 or 6.00 in the morning. I have fresh air and streets for me alone. That is live. By the way, you don‘t want a sportsbike in the mountains. A GS or something like that is the best on mountainpasses!
Mate - That. Was. EPIC!!! So fricken jealous you have that sort of stuff at your doorstep (well, so to speak). I have to fly half way around the world just to get there.. but one day.. I'm gonna do that.. Cheers!!
You know a place is amazing when it makes you run out of adjectives. Scenery so good it turned you into Baron von Humble.
Its not the air pressure keeping you from opening your panniers, its your feeble IT hands.

+BaronVonGrumble Roads in the Alps are one of the most beautiful for bikers and the views are wonderful :) Greetings from Slovenia Baron
+BaronVonGrumble You left your bloody number plate in, you nutter!
+BaronVonGrumble Would be insane to live in one of those small towns on that road.
My best memory of my first trip to Switzerland in 2004 was the sustenpass I camped on it and spent a week on the stunning roads surrounding it :-) pure heaven
You've completely sold the idea of going here to me - top of the bucket list now! Can't even begin to imagine what it's like to experience first hand.
I've done this lots of times now and I'm still blown away by it each time I go.
Baron and JoJo sitting in a tree....
I'll show myself out.

Beautiful roads - fantastic views - Mountains and Snow - so much different from West Oz. Bloody great mate.
Did this same journey about 10 years ago on the back of my dads R1150 GS when I was 12, such a beautiful place!
Absolutely Breathtaking, thank you for taking us along.😊
Wow. If it wasn't for cameras made to be fitted onto motorcycles I'd probably sleep when I come home from work but the passion is way to strong. Thank you for taking us on that little journey what a view
Amazing roads Baron. You should try the mountain roads and the coastal roads in Gran Canaria, really gorgeous and diverse scenery and and great turns, some of them pretty scary as well.
Rental or self drive
Haha, such an enthused and genuine "YEAH!" at 6:39 . I have to make it to the alps soon!
Don't worry about that "lack of talking", Baron: that fact by itself speaks volumes. Just taking in the scenery and listening to the engine noise makes me all dreamy 😀
These were my exact thoughts riding through the mountains in Scotland a few months ago, I actually slowed down to just cruise through them instead of nailing it through the corners
Been there. Watching this from about 2 hours away, with summer breaking in and about to pick up my next bike. So excited.
i love how i just watched a crazy vlog from do it with dan with racing and stuff and now im watching a calm cruising video from the baron it really works out quite nice

Such amazing natural light - WOW.
Loved the way you talked about just enjoying the ride. I like to ride fast doing some twistie roads but sometimes i get to some beautiful mountains and just go enjoying the view at slow pace.
Susten Pass immediately goes to top of Google searches! Wow bloody wowzers!
BEAUTIFUL !! You really know how to enjoy the ride.A BIG SMILE on your face all the way.!
Totally awesome scenery Baron! It is definitely on my Bucket List to ride over there after seeing your videos from there!
I laughed so hard for some reason when the riding buddy goes YEAH!!! When he asks "d'ya wanna carry on?"
Nice ride Baron. This is also my favourite one. In the summer I try to go up there every day it's possible.
Baron, in July my better half and I did pretty much same passes as you two now, just with a car (this time...)- even that was breathtaking... And now watching your videos all the memories are coming back- definitely will go back, hopefully by bike next time... Or the one after that... Highly recommended route for vacation to everybody...
I can see how words fail trying to describe a feeling for an experience like this, amazing Baron, I have to do this one day
wheres the baron von jingle at the start of the video, makes my day that does :p
Incredible simply incredible, one day I must try this
The best lines in this vlog....
Barron: Should I carry on
Jo JO: YEAH (As loud as possible)......
"Its alright you wouldn't fall far" -BvG 2015
That cracked me up!
It's also probably the least reassuring thing I've ever heard ;)
Yes very beautiful place in Switzerland and so awesome video Baron,
I enjoy some twisty, hilly roads here in Australia, but Switzerland looks fabulous! Maybe one day.....
I really need to visit the Alps. Mountain riding is the best. Amazing scenery.
I must now make a Europe trip to do this. If you ever come state side There are a few stretches like that in Appalachians. I haven't been out to Rockies yet but you bet there are some out there too.
You have the same joy in your voice that I did when I did Skyline Dr.
Beautiful scenery amazing roads .... Paradise
Going there. Next year. Really don't have any excuses anymore now. If not now, when? Thanks for showing me the light.
My Mrs and I did a similar trip this July. Susten pass deffo a highlight. Go to Switzerland, enjoy the roads and the scenery..... then carry on into Austria if you don't want your pants pulled down for decent accommodation and food. Check out the Hantenjoch and the Grossglockner passes. Then take the Black Forest highway (b500) on your way back to Blighty (if you absolutely have to come back). Great video BvG!

On the other side, Baron's got a JoJo sticker on his bike, I think things are getting pretty serious then ;)
I can smell the fresh air just by watching this.
Jesus christ that scenery.. I need to visit Switzerland.
+RobotGoose You wouldn't regret it. Saying that, pretty much anywhere in the world has it's own beauty spots.
JayJa Vu Yes of course, but its just something about mountains that get me.
I realized that when I drove around the mountains in Slovenia.
They do have a certain majesty to them.
+RobotGoose Why don't you say, Mohammed that scenery...you scared of Muslims? Why insult the Christians?
+RobotGoose if you do don't skip the city of "Luzern" ;)
The Susten is also my fav. Such a nice flow on both sides.
Really enjoying your content, makes me really want to get up to the Rocky Mountians in the US this summer, US version of the Alps, but with the added attraction of being able to find bears, moose and elk on any given corner.
How was it?
It's funny how I live in Switzerland but only videos like this make me remind I actually live in a nice country.
I life about 1h away from this pass and this summer we went there to watch the sunrise!!! Please baron put this on your list. I'ts absolutly amazing ;)
You should definitely take a look at the Gross Glockner in Austria. Went there this August. Loved it. We drove and stayed in the Carnic Alps for 3 Days. To be honest, I did not want to drive home.
nice vid,glad to hear someone else blown away by it,fantastic place -safe riding mate
Man rides chainsaw through Susten Pass?
+Andrew B haha -yeah, got a bit of a backlash on that one... but i liked it! its coming....
Great! Thank you. I thought the first one was hilarious.
THANKS, MATE, VERY BEAUTIFUL, I CAN ONLY DREAM OF RIDING THERE.
i could watch stuff like this for hours goddamn
Simply brilliant. Those views would leave me speechless
Just a beautiful view! Looking forward to get there myself.
Thx for sharing this.

4 weeks time
Gorgeous. I'll have to come by some of this on my way back from Italy.
I have seen many of yor trips to the alps, thank you for sharing with us 😃🤘🤘🤘
I live near the susten pass. Went up with my GSR yesterday. Was beautiful :)
Just breathtaking views... non-stop! I'm super envious of you, Mr. Grumble. :)
This video and what is seen is amazing, thanks for taking me with ya. Ride safe.
I do want to thank you for stopping and sharing the views. I never seem to want to stop the flow of the road and the bike. Until I need fuel.
I was down that way about a month ago, it's other worldly .... I need to be back there asap! Also did a two week trip to Norway in June which was awesome too , highly recommended ... All 5 of us on GS's naturally 😜
Thank you for this wonderful series of Alps videos! I so want to go back after watching these vids! Keep up the good work!

Yes! My mum moved to Switzerland middle of this year. Turns out she is just an hours drive from this road. :D trip on the cards.
spaf- tacular and weeping from the eye... never gets old🤣
My new favourite video, simply stunning
Wow. On my bucket list for sure. Stunning

thanks to Baron for showing me such a beautiful part of the world. one which ill never be able to afford to go to lol but absolutley gorgeous

Omg JoJo B, speechless , I asked a month ago when would you be meeting this amazing lady.. and bam! here she is with you in Swiss heaven. lol.
Wow is quite a useful word...I use it quite a bit bumbling around the mountains here in Italy...I also use the words "Look at that!" and "For gods sake, just watch the bloody road!"
This reminds me of driving through the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. If you're a mountain man Baron, you will like CO!
Thanks for this, Baron; as someone who is not even remotely close to Switzerland (American) this is a real treat, and I agree with you; you could be on a scooter (gross) and still enjoy the roads there.
