Hill station in Brülisau, Switzerland

  19 km from St. Gallen


Evening mood in the smaller mountain range of the Swiss Alps: the Alpstein. I was disappointed not to be up there during golden hour, but it was a small comfort to take this shot on the way home.

The Alpstein in northwest Switzerland is so dense and small, it is just perfect for touristy pictures. I live here but still feel like a tourist every single time.

We were on our hiking trip to the mountain 'Falknis', when we saw the reflection of the Glegghorn in the water of the 'Lake Unterst' at the begin of the 'Fläscher Valley'. This spot is mainly known by locals. Anyway, it's worth to going there.

travelers stories about Crater lake in Wildsee, Switzerland

Crater lake in Wildsee, Switzerland

  53 km from St. Gallen


There are many beautiful hikes in Switzerland. But the 5-lake hike in Pizol is just amazing. It is very popular. On weekends there are thousands of people hiking this trail. Not only because it is very accessible. It is also just breathtaking. You can do the hike within 4.5 - 5 hours if you’re in shape. And you can take a swim in some of the lakes, if you dare.

travelers stories about Hill station in Igis, Switzerland

Hill station in Igis, Switzerland

  58 km from St. Gallen


No, I’m not a lazy photographer. But at this certain situation yes. And you would not notice it. It took me in total about 1 minute to shoot. Setting up gear, traveling to the location, etc. Why? Because it was made directly out of my bedroom. I used a 200mm lense without tripod. The shoot is one of my quickest shoot ever.

Mountain in Braunwald, Switzerland

When we arrived to Braunwald, it was very foggy. Houses and trees were barely visible along the hiking trail. After an hour of walking up the hill we were rewarded with some breathtaking views, as the mountain started to emerge.

travelers stories about Forest in Uetliberg, Switzerland

Forest in Uetliberg, Switzerland

  64 km from St. Gallen


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!

River in Rheinschlucht, Switzerland

I went on a little adventure with my friends. We went to the Rheinschlucht (aka the swiss grand canyon). I brought my drone and took it for a flight. Everything went good. Later we went to another place too shoot the rheinschlucht from a new perspective. I flown my drone again. Unfortunately I crashed this time - on the other side of the river - My friend did exactly the same 5 minutes later. Wasn’t a good drone day.

travelers stories about Mountain range in Fronalpstock, Switzerland

Mountain range in Fronalpstock, Switzerland

  74 km from St. Gallen


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

  74 km from St. Gallen


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.

travelers stories about Dock in Lake Zug, Switzerland

Dock in Lake Zug, Switzerland

  74 km from St. Gallen


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.

travelers stories about Hill in Klausen Pass, Switzerland

Hill in Klausen Pass, Switzerland

  74 km from St. Gallen


We had hired a huge van to live out of for 2 months travelling through Europe, however when it came to Klausen Pass in Switzerland the van was way too big for the narrow winding road. Luckily there wasn’t too many cars on the road, and only one fence post was brushed on the way though. Managed to find a spot to park the van and grab a couple of shots of this magnificent drive.

travelers stories about Hill station in Schwellisee, Switzerland

Hill station in Schwellisee, Switzerland

I was on a week long trip through the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland. We had a lot of plans and not much time to explore the region. But on this specific evening we took our time to do a mini hike up to the lake (Schwellisee). We were rewarded with a beautiful view over the mountainscapes of Arosa.

travelers stories about Hill in Davos, Switzerland

Hill in Davos, Switzerland

  81 km from St. Gallen


One of my best tours in 2018. After I hiked through the night, I reached the top of the mountain just in time for sunrise. I knew there was this tower close to the summit, but I’ve never been up there before. So I enjoyed a beautiful sunrise with great views to Davos/Klosters and the Prättigau-Valley before I descended back to Davos Wolfgang. By the way, the peak is reachable via a marked trail, so highly recommended for many skill levels…
