my solo trip to the swiss alps

my solo trip to the swiss alps

clearly i don’t know what to do with my hands when talking to a camera

also i know some of the song choices are a bit random, there were copyright claims to the original music 🙁

EDIT: wow- thank you guys for all the love on this video!! i’ve seen so many comments saying that this video has inspired them to visit appenzell, and i’m so excited for you all to explore this amazing place – it’s truly an unforgettable experience

but please, if you do visit, LEAVE NO TRACE. increased foot traffic often leads to more litter, damaged trails, and harm to wildlife. so please, let’s work together to protect these beautiful places – respect nature, stay on marked trails, pack out everything you bring in, and leave it better than you found it. that way, others can enjoy it just as much as you (and i) did 🙂

hiking routes:
day 1- https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/switzerland/outer-rhodes/ebenalp-schafler-seealpsee-wasserauen?u=i
*note: if you have sore/weak knees and want to do the day one hike- I would recommend doing it in reverse (starting at the lake and hiking up)- it’s a steep decent that is not for the weak knees (literally)
day 2- https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/switzerland/appenzell-inner-rhodes/schwende-seealpsee?u=i

filmed on iphone 14

songs used:

    I usually do not like the girl travel videos, but this one is different, i like this one.

    There are moments when beauty transcends geography — and in this video, it has. The Swiss Alps may be nature’s masterpiece, but the way your presence weaves into this landscape, Brigette, makes even mountains seem to pause and admire. There’s a certain light in your eyes — not just reflection, but quiet galaxies — as if Switzerland itself borrowed its charm from you today. This isn’t just a vlog, it’s an elegantly painted dream — curated by nature, but completed by you

  5. @sandungee on June 8, 2025 at 11:38 am

    I never comment but for this I have to. Thank you for this amazing video and you are so lucky to see such beautiful places like this. I work in tourism and I’ve been told swiss is beautiful but I had no Idea how beautiful you know. Love from Sri lanka. Here we have ocean and mountains but not like this. and I love your "getting lost in open spaces" playlist. thank you for that also

    I would love to visit Switzerland someday, probably next year.

  22. @2hu0 on June 8, 2025 at 11:53 am

    Love your choice of music. I was in the Jungfrau region last year. In a few months I am heading to Appenzell to sleep in the straw. This video made me so excited!

  23. @TRAVELTOIRAN_WITHMOHADESEH on June 8, 2025 at 11:54 am

    Wooow😍💚

  24. @wanderingbackroads25 on June 8, 2025 at 11:55 am

    EXCELLENT ! While I hiked Southern Africa and now produce Nature videos (YouTube.com/@Wanderingroadswest25) of van-camping in the US West – your solo trip to Switzerland has me checking my rucksack and passport already ! Well done. Very nicely produced.

    يارب يوم الالي اتمشى بالطبيعة لوحدي🤲❤️‍🩹

  32. @thimalilanka1124 on June 8, 2025 at 12:03 pm

    you’re living my dream and thank you for sharing this

  33. @ManalWilburn on June 8, 2025 at 12:04 pm

    what a beautifully captured journey! your solo trip to the swiss alps looks absolutely breathtaking. i do have to say, though, while i admire the serene vibes, it kinda makes me question if solo travel is really as fulfilling as traveling with friends or family. what do you think?

  34. @Carletta-z2i on June 8, 2025 at 12:04 pm

    I wish.. lucky❤

  35. @OneSilentFrame on June 8, 2025 at 12:04 pm

    Beneath the trees and through the breeze, nature embraces the weary heart. Let’s care for it, before that embrace fades away.

  36. @陶比特悦 on June 8, 2025 at 12:05 pm

    太美了

  37. @senseiunni on June 8, 2025 at 12:07 pm

    Beautiful views! Greetings from Philippines

  47. @akashcius on June 8, 2025 at 12:24 pm

    a girl in the alps ❤

  48. @kizzamate on June 8, 2025 at 12:25 pm

    Definitely going to go here in my 1 year euro trip after my apprenticeship, you remind me of a girl when I used to be in high school, look exactly the same, speak the same and same personality. Not her though but just had to do a double take. Cheers for the video, looks amazing!

  49. @Hill_Crow on June 8, 2025 at 12:26 pm

    You made a really beautiful video, Brigette! Right next to the train line (Niederteufen stop), we run a small Thai take-away with a few seats. Next time, make a stop and enjoy a complimentary Pad Thai Gung with an Appenzeller beer 🙂
