Hiking in the Swiss Alps 🇨🇭 WOW!

What's up beautiful people? We're just at the start of our first full day here in Switzerland. We're about to do a hike. Where are we going to on here? First we're going to Lag der Langrin, which is the lake. We're going to have lunch there, should take about two hours. I think it's different to google maps, they think people are going to hike quite quickly. And then after the lake we go right up to the top of Piz Langrin. Let's go! How do we know we're on the right track? Just got to follow these markings. This is definitely a perfectly placed bench. If ever we sat on one, look at that for a view right there. This area is called the Engerdeen, right? Engerdeen, yeah. And we're like a 20 minute drive from where we were staying with Anna's grandparents. It's not that far from Samaritz. We passed a couple of lakes, we went through Silver Plana and then this is Molloyer. And what we did see earlier was the road that goes all the way down, it goes down to Italy and it drops from something like 2000 meters to like 300 meters. I think there's about 40 hairpin bends. And what's today's route like then for us? So today's route is straight up. Straight up here? So this is the elevation gain, it's just an out and back walk around 9.7k. But what we did is my parents recommended we start from the edge of the lake so that as you come up here you get better views of the whole lake. And we've also got this lovely bench. We join the all trails path, zigzag all the way up to Lag de L'angouine, so the lake, and that's where we're going to have lunch. And then it's a very steep climb up to the top. One of these wildflowers. As we walked, we had views over the entire region and spotted what looked to be a medieval castle. Despite its appearance, Belvedere Tower was actually the 19th century work of a Belgian count who dreamed of transforming Molloyer into a popular destination for wealthy aristocrats. Belvedere Tower has since become the emblem for the town. Further up the valley, we saw the It's used to create clean electricity which is then sent all the way to Zurich. There's a waterfall just up here somewhere that we're probably going to pass a little bit further got our first views of snow just, what, like 30 or 40 meters further up here. In elevation, this is like 200 meters away actually. Is it cold? So nice. Lovely. Okay. Holy cow. Not far from the lunch stop at the lake right now. We've done nearly 4k, over 550 meters. The pace has slowed a little bit. It's got a bit steeper just as we're coming up to the lake. I'm very, very sweaty. This cap is probably destroyed. There's a sign. There's a lake. We are ready for lunch. Check this out. Sandwich time. Yay. Made with love by Nana. Made with love by Nana. Thank you Nana. Lunch has energized us and we are well on the route to the top now. We've come across the snow and look, we can see we're heading just up here we think. We've got some clouds rolling in so we're going to try and make it up sharpish before any other weather, any other like stronger weather could come in. But we're back on the ascent, ascent, ascent. So we've got about 400 meters in distance but then like 100 meters in elevation. 30 meters so far. I got there. My current kind of, yeah, only in trainers and sometimes it's kind of getting cloudy up there. It's a bit worrying. Yeah. Yeah, it's getting hard to breathe. The altitude is definitely hitting us right now. But the top is just, it's like over this bit and a bit further up. We'll have to see what the clouds are doing in a minute. Straight down there. Oh, a nice little ridge. Oh, look at that. Wow. Into the clouds. This is a pure little ridge just here. Oh, how are you feeling? Look at that. On top of the world right now. One side, other side. Can't see much at all down there. Right, that is the top just there. So I think this is the point where we, this is now the point where we're turning around and we're calling it. Especially as Hannah's grandparents literally warned us, they said. The clouds come in, turn back around. And they have most definitely come, like you can't even see the top now. So it's been an excellent hike. We're not going to risk it. Some beautiful views to catch on the way down there. What's up beautiful people? Do you want to see the border to Italy? Well, you're in luck because I got it just for you. Over there, these mountains, which are super pointy, are actually the border to Italy. So there they all are. And there's my babe. The sun's coming back out. I know. But the wind, it's getting a bit chillier. You know what I love to see? What do you love to see? You know, the peak that we were just about to climb, but couldn't because of all the clouds. Yeah. That is a shame. But I do not think that we're going to be climbing back up to go to the top. Not now, I need a beer. We found the cows again. I like these. I almost fell there. Little wooden steps to get down. Nearly there. Just need to get down to town. How much elevation? About 920 metres of elevation. We did so well today. And the lighting as we came down. Oh my God, it was like glowing. Like all the flowers were glowing. They were like backlit. It was so gorgeous. Absolutely divine. Stunning. I'm going to finish this one up here. If you've enjoyed this video, please leave it a like and consider subscribing for more. Thank you so much for watching. Big love.
