Let's just appreciate the fact that he sets up the camera, then walks away, then goes back to take the camera and walks away again.

This is not just breath taking ... this is soul cleansing.

I’ve seen every single one of your videos, and this one takes the cake for me. The amount of calm I experienced in the first 6 minutes is unlike anything else.

Every shot in the first 5 minutes of this video is a potential wallpaper.

Commenting before the ad has even finished. Because I know what I’m about to see is going to be visually inspiring.

Playing this for my students as they study for exams. They are loving the beauty and peacefulness.

The cinematography of the video is at a whole quantum level. Amazing eye... and my god, how is the exposure so perfect? 🤯

Kraig, I made this hike myself two weeks ago. It was. absolutely phantastic. I had a blast! I used your guide to make reservations of the refuges along the trail and your map to hike. I made slight modifications, though, due to my travel from Poland to the trail head. I started hiking late (around 5 PM) in La Villa, north of Corvara, and stayed at Rifugio Gardenacia. On the second day I stayed at Rifugio Frara and then detoured at Rifugio Pisciadu a bit, which I then strongly regreted. I accidentaly lost the trail because it was hardly visible. When I reached closer to the end I ran into a horrible via ferrata. Never ever in my life was I so scared. It was very dangerous. With my heavy bagback and strong wind it was very hard to pull myself up. My legs were shaking but I made it. I strongly recommend everyone to follow your map and not to detour as there is no information on the trail marks. On my 4th day I stayed at Rifugio Marmolada. It wasn't any better than Rifugio Fedaia where you stayed at. They didn't speak English very well and the customer service wasn't as great. The entire area around Marmolada glacier is not interesting in general. All the rest was awesome! The views and the food - man! Very good! I had a lot of adventures and had really good time during my 7 days hike. I want to thank you for what you do, without you my hike would be impossible. Thank you, thank you, thank you. :)

Hey Kraig I'm from Italy and I've been in those places for 5yrs and still counting. Please note that Corvara and Canazei are one of the most frequented places during summer. That's why I may suggest you not to pay tour guides over there as towns and refugees are really well equipped and served. On day 3 you've been to Piz Boé (mountain crossing borders between 3 territories: Sudtirol, Trento and Belluno provinces) and yeah, as its one of the best places within Dolomiti, it's getting too much touristic because of cable cars. However, cable cars are there just because there were ruins of world wars, so they decided to build them to reach historic points.

Trust me if I say that if you go to places not that touristic (Piz Boè is one of the most) you'll find much less cable cars and more isolation.

Keep it up with your great work!

How I love your travels 😌
You are a real hero, you give us the opportunity to feel ourselves in these fabulous places 👍🙌

[samd]

I’m going through a loss right now and your videos always cheer me up and give me hope. This was the perfect medicine today. Thanks 🙏🏽 x

I’m only 2 or 3 minutes into this, and am almost overwhelmed by what a beautiful work of art it is. The productions, especially the editing, is superb!

Around these mountains my mother was born and raised along with her 4 other siblings.Watching this video stirred immense emotion from myself in knowing how much she missed her homeland after settling in Australia.I am truly stunned and in awe of the scenery here and am forever grateful a part of me feels to be home when i visit here.My oldest son loves it here too more than any other place in Europe.He wishes he could have spent time here with his grandma to tell her how much it means to him.Thnx for the video it was medicine for me and a gelati for my kids.

Le Dolomiti sono fantastiche! Ci vado da quando ero piccolo e sono sempre magiche

[FuriousBOIAngel]

I did this exact route two years ago solo and it changed my life. This video allows me to relive it. Thank you Kraig

[jacoblavallee]

This is breathtaking, loved every second. Thanks for letting me be a small part of your story Kraig.

[srai]

Makes me feel like i am actually there. Huge respect for your work must of taken a lot of time. Be safe out there and may the YouTube algorithm favour you more.

[deliaiannalfo]

Loved this so much :) One thing however is that lots of people have accessibility issues or lack the good health to be able to hike up the mountains, and I don't think people being able to go up the mountain via cable car takes anything away from your own effort hiking up - other people's experience shouldn't influence your own and I think it's wonderful that everyone's able to access these gorgeous spots. I too prefer to hike it up (also, terrified of cablecars lol) but I'm happy people like my grandma can use the cable car. Keep up the good work!!!

[Sheety]

As a YouTuber, if this doesn’t inspire you to create your best content, I don’t know what will! Bravo 👏

[michael.K.G]

What some people might not understand is how this guys just mounts a camera goes back and forth to get all these amazing shots. Great video showing showing hard work and quality
