travelers stories about Forest in Uetliberg, Switzerland

Forest in Uetliberg, Switzerland

  44 km from Olten


I had hiked up Uetliberg, a small mountain near Zurich, to capture the fall colors that I had seen covering the hillside. However, as I made my way further up the mountain, the forest became shrouded in fog, and a whole new side of the forest revealed itself!

travelers stories about Dock in Lake Zug, Switzerland

Dock in Lake Zug, Switzerland

  49 km from Olten


This photo was taken during my business trip in Switzerland. I arrived on the first of August, the national holiday when Swiss celebrate the founding of the Swiss Confederacy. I went for a stroll to explore the surroundings of the hotel which lies on the Zugersee lake. The place was very quiet and almost scary, I could hear only my own footsteps on the wooden pier and splashes of water as the small waves gently touched the shore.

Picture of the Grosser Mythen mountain is Switzerland done during a snowshoe walk around the mountain. The mountain is basically a huge stone, almost no trees, and a nice contrast with the white snow.

Mountain range in Fronalpstock, Switzerland

  70 km from Olten


Life is full of adventures. This image was created during one of my own adventures on the top of Fronalpstock in Switzerland. During the day thousands and thousands of tourists where passing by this spot. But the last chairlift was running at 5:30pm. Suddently the place became very quiet and calm. The fog started to clear up and reveal the two peaks. This image represents one of the most beautiful sunsets I ever saw.

Mountain in Fronalpstock, Switzerland

  70 km from Olten


Imagine you are above the fog. Seeing the sun set. Then you turn around and see this. A mountain summit peaking out of the fog and catching fire. Goosebumps all over your body. And a refreshing feeling of joy and thankfulness filling up your body. This is Switzerland. This I can call my home. I really appreciate that a lot lately.

Hiking in Haslital, Switzerland on a sunny afternoon. Because it was too bright and the mountains in the back were almost washed out I decided to change the pictures to black and white and punch the foreground.

Highland in Stockentalstrasse, Switzerland

…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 Mountain range in Grindelwald, Switzerland

Mountain range in Grindelwald, Switzerland

  81 km from Olten


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.

Town in Grindelwald, Switzerland

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

  84 km from Olten


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.

travelers stories about Glacial landform in Jungfraujoch, Switzerland

Glacial landform in Jungfraujoch, Switzerland

  89 km from Olten


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.
