Into the Grimselwelt

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : In this excellent drone video by rlardon, you'll explore the area around Grimsel Pass in central Switzerland. The pass itself crosses the Bernese Alps southeast of Lake Interlaken, connecting the cantons of Bern and Valais. Some of the spots featured in the video include the Sidelhorn mountain, the Unteraar glacier, Lake Grimsel (Grimselsee), the Urbach valley, the Trift glacier and nearby suspension bridge, the village of Innertkirchen, Lake Gelmer, the Susten Pass, and the Reichenbach Valley (Rosenlaui).

BADGES THIS VIDEO HAS EARNED:

In August 2019, I went on a solo camping trip to explore the mountains beyond Meiringen and Innertkirchen, an area in central Switzerland also known as the Grimselwelt (as it contains the Grimsel Pass that connects the cantons of Bern and Wallis, alongside other famous high roads like the Furka Pass and the Susten Pass). This video will take you with me to the top of the Sidelhorn at the break of dawn and show other hidden gems like the Unteraar glacier, Lake Grimsel, the Urbach valley, the Trift glacier and nearby suspension bridge, the village of Innertkirchen, the turquoise water of Lake Gelmer, the Susten Pass and the Rosenlaui or Reichenbach valley. Because the Grimselwelt draws much less crowds than places like Zermatt and Grindelwald, I got to enjoy these stunning views pretty much by myself, making me feel like Alexander Supertramp in Into the Wild! I hope I can convey that feeling and motivate people to explore and respect the natural world!
