From Ohio to the Swiss Alps in Five Days (Part 2)
From Ohio to the Swiss Alps in Five Days (Part 2)
about 3 years ago

Next, what on earth were we going to do here? Skiing? Paragliding? Hiking? Yodeling? All of the above? And if, I did in fact, want to find a nice place to get Lederhosen and an Alphorn and then trek to a scenic location to let out a good jodel, where would be the best place to do that? While these were purely hypothetical, of course, these were still questions I needed to answer. So naturally, we went to Grindelwald’s swimming pool.

Hiking through the Swiss Alps never gets old. Every ridge you cross there’s a new mountain to see, or a new village to stumble upon, or even a heard of free-range goats trying to run you down. In the winter, there’s the added bonus that y
Hiking through the Swiss Alps never gets old. Every ridge you cross there’s a new mountain to see, or a new village to stumble upon, or even a heard of free-range goats trying to run you down. In the winter, there’s the added bonus that you can sled all the way back down the mountain when you’re done! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • • • • • #dbmphotos #dbmphotography #photooftheday #photodujour #fotodestages #earthcapture #landscape #landscapephotography #landscape_lovers #landscape_hunter #mountains #travel #exploretocreate #earthpix #awesomeplaces #roamtheplanet #natgeo #switzerland #grindelwald #jungfrauregion #jungfrau #dieschweiz #landschaft

Snowdrift, Jungfrau ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Mighty Jungfrau, for which this region of Switzerland takes its name, is whipped by strong winds early in the morning. The winds from my view point-- 2,000 ft below the summit-- were strong enough that they almost blew a few elderly tourists over. But besides the wind, there was nothing. No cars passing in the distance, no planes flying overhead, not even the beating of a bird's wings. It was pure silence. This incredible void of sound is my favorite part about the Alps, and something I've never experienced elsewhere. It's the same level of quiet that you get when you're standing very near someone whispering in their ear, and it makes the often distant and monumental mountains feel close and personal. The silence is peak escapism-- there is no world beside yourself and the mountains. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I can't wait to get back. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #jungfrau #silence #alps #uniqueexperience #landscape #photography #story #jungfraujoch #summit #wind #nosound #noisepollution #mountain #mountaineering #landscapephotography #bnw #blackandwhite #bnw_landscape #artphoto #anselinspired #switzerland #jungfrauregion #personal #exploration #seetheworld #roamtheplanet #seekadventure #swissalps

A view through the trees ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hiking the Swiss alps, you spend a lot of time in between thick conifers before breaking out above the tree line. Often quite dark and quite cold, narrow ski trails wound their back and forth up the mountain side. You'd sometimes hear squirrels or small birds scurrying in the underbrush. Occasionally, the trees would open up a bit, allowing for a glimpse at the surrounding mountains-- like my example here. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When you weren't slipping on the ice trails, it definitely was beautiful. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #switzerland #hiking #winter #mountain #landscape #landscapephotography #travel #photography #swissalps #jungfrauregion #grindelwald #explore #roamtheplanet #seetheworld #naturalwonders #snow #hiker #landscapephoto #besttravel
