travelers stories about Pier in Montreux, Switzerland

Pier in Montreux, Switzerland

  12 km from Leysin


The lake side promenade in Montreux is possibly one of the best places to see the different colors in the sky from day to night. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to witness such an amazing view of the sunset over the calm waters of Lake Geneva. The leading lines from the railings of the dock, in addition to the streaks from skydiving planes in the sky, really make this an interesting photo spot. In the home of jazz and the Chateau Chillon, it is perhaps unremarkable sights such as these that catch the eye the most.

travelers stories about Forest in Haut de Cry, Switzerland

Forest in Haut de Cry, Switzerland

  18 km from Leysin


Going wild camping in the Swiss Alps is quite an adventure, especially when you need to find a flat spot which is large enough to receive your tent. But as in the Alps, slopes are dominating the scenery… This week-end I was lucky to find a nice place for my tent, but had some spectacular views on the surrounding mountains, like the one pictured here. Erosion, avalanches and rockfall dig deep canions in the slopes add to the character of this valley, following the “La Lizerne” river up to Les Diablerets.

travelers stories about Hill in Pierre Avoi, Switzerland

Hill in Pierre Avoi, Switzerland

  29 km from Leysin


So, we went to this mountain with a friend of mine because it’s near our village in Switzerland. We almost died twice before arriving on site, but it was worth it. The view was amazing and we had a great time. This hike gave me more motivation than I already had to go out and capture our beautiful world.

travelers stories about Hill in Jaunpassstrasse, Switzerland

Hill in Jaunpassstrasse, Switzerland

  38 km from Leysin


My wife and I were travelling along a winding alpine pass in central Switzerland, anxiously navigating through a terrible storm, in hopes of catching a rainbow. With my wife driving, and I eagerly looking out the passenger window hoping to find a photo in the dense fog. We found the storm had broken on the other side of the valley with a gigantic rainbow! “Faster! We’re gonna miss it”, I exclaimed while my wife drove on - clearly more focused on the rainbow than the driving conditions. We came to a stop along the road, but alas, had missed the rainbow. The view was still worth it.

travelers stories about Mountain range in Unnamed Road, Switzerland

Mountain range in Unnamed Road, Switzerland

  50 km from Leysin


My hard drive is full with “urban magic”. Well maybe just urban shots. I need some more training to apply “magic” because I am still working on my framing when I’m in cities. Too much landscape does this to you. At least I’am not afraid to experiment and dare to “kill the vibe” on my Instagram feed, every now and then.

…we said and even though it was already 11pm we loaded our gear into the grey VW Polo and drove home to a colleague with having in mind to probably shoot some timelapses on the way. The results became awesome and we got some sleep while our cameras clicked their lapses.

travelers stories about Lake in Riffelsee, Switzerland

Lake in Riffelsee, Switzerland

  70 km from Leysin


We spent our last money for a taxi taking us into Zermatt, a small tourist hotspot in the swiss alps. My friends and I walked about half an hour to sneak onto the last train to the Riffelsee. Up there it was bloody cold with temperatures below zero. We managed to sleep there anyway and it was totally worth it. When the sun started rising the clouds slowly disappeared and with the water still quiet the top of the Matterhorn got lit up step by step. The reflection in the Riffelsee made it the perfect shot. Highly recommended experience!

Ever gone to Switzerland? It’s a great place to just wander off somewhere and to get completely lost in the mountains. That is what we did here. This way you can sit and marvel at the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau in total solitude.

After snapping some photos from the window room, I lied on the bed to rest my legs for a while. After 20 minutes, I saw the last rays of light coloring the top of the Jungfrau and could not help myself snapping more pictures while sitting on the bed.

Waterfall in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland

  74 km from Leysin


Lauterbrunnen is situated in one of the most impressive trough valleys in the Alps, between gigantic rock faces and mountain peaks. With its 72 thundering waterfalls, secluded valleys, colourful alpine meadows and lonely mountain inns, the Lauterbrunnen Valley is one of the biggest nature conservation areas in Switzerland. J.R.R.Tolkinen hiked from Interlaken to the Lauterbrunnen Valley in 1911. The landscape later provided the concept and pictorial model for his sketches of the fictitious valley of Rivendell.
