travelers stories about Ski resort in Simplon Pass, Switzerland

Ski resort in Simplon Pass, Switzerland

  76 km from Morcote


Between snow and sun, I had to catch the perfect moment when it wasn’t too windy. On this day at “Simplon-Pass” (sempione in italian) it was really awesome to fly over a lot of White, new snow… On the side of the roads were at least 2.5m of snowwalls. The only sad thing about this adventure was that I couldn’t drive myself up there in a powerful car - instead we took the bus but there were still very amazing views!

travelers stories about Mountain in Sidelhorn, Switzerland

Mountain in Sidelhorn, Switzerland

  83 km from Morcote


After an hour of hiking past the Grimselpass/Totensee, we set up our cameras at 2500m. Although we had arrived to that spot to see the blood moon rise right above the mountains, clouds on the horizon delayed when we got our first glimpse of red light. Still, the clouds that were there allowed for a colorful sunset. The dramatic lighting of the sun lasted for mere seconds. It is a reminder that sometimes, beautiful things only last for a short while so we should try our best to enjoy them while they last. Enjoy!

travelers stories about Lake in Riffelsee, Switzerland

Lake in Riffelsee, Switzerland

  89 km from Morcote


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!

travelers stories about Glacial landform in Jungfraujoch, Switzerland

Glacial landform in Jungfraujoch, Switzerland

  99 km from Morcote


Even though we were surrounded by snow, it felt warm. The sun reflected and bounced off the snow to cover us in warmth. At this elevation in Switzerland, you feel almost in the clouds, it’s surreal. And yet, it’s a simple train ride to the top, no climbing gear needed.

travelers stories about Mountain range in Grindelwald, Switzerland

Mountain range in Grindelwald, Switzerland

  102 km from Morcote


Had the opportunity to fly the drone around and snap some shots from above in Switzerland. I really love the scale the mountain towns can offer as they are surrounded by amazing peaks and ranges. The houses look so minuscule in comparison to the grand mountains.

We were wandering around Grindelwald aimlessly while we ran into this church. After looking around, I decided to pull the drone out and grab a few shots. The epicness of the Eigar, Jungfrau and Monch surrounding this church and town was amazing. I had never felt this much of a grand presence and feel blessed to have been able to experience this.

Hill station in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland

  107 km from Morcote


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.
