I am an absolute fan of your work! No background disturbing noise, no annoying music, no bad takes or bad angles. You really make us feel like we are there for many of us that really can't be there. More from 🇨🇭 please! Thank you!

I don't know which is more amazing; the scenery of the civil engineering of these Swiss electric rack railroads. Beautiful video.

On the trip I made, Zermatt was blanketed in misty rain. I was hesitant about the worthwhileness of going up, but did go. The mist became cloud, and no sign of Matterhorn. About halfway up, we suddenly came out of the cloud and there was Matterhorn - sunlit and breathtaking. The view from the top was glorious. Going down was just the reverse experience, into cloud and light rain at Zermatt.

Fabulous video. I wish I had an 8K TV. In 4K, it's spectacular.

These panoramic scenaries are absolutely stunning, I have travelled in Switzerland but it was through, Chiasso, Locarno through Zurich, feel really sad I missed this route alongside the beautiful scenic mountain the majestic Matterhorn. Big thumbs up to the presenter for the wonderful job, offering this great tour. God bless the prosperity of this great channel.

Quite the mesmerizing Nature here with its mountaineously bewildering beauties I deeply love. Highly appreciated for sharing it.

Wow, these images are absolutely stunning. It never ceases to amaze me the geological forces at work needed to create such a beautiful planet. Masterful work, thank you.

WOW, WOW, and WOW! The Matterhorn and Surrounding Mountains framed by a Clear Blue Sky! What could be better? Well, staying in the train and riding it all the way to the Top! What a Feast for the Eyes! Thank You Mark, Excellent Video! By the way, I forgot to tell you how much we enjoyed the boat rides last week…..the second one was also excellent!

[SloMo]

Just took this train ride in September and then hiked down the trail with my wife. What a beautiful hike it was! Zermatt is such a cool village to stay in for several days. Cool people, great restaurants and so much to do.

È un incanto , le parole per dire quanto mi è piaciuto non le troverò mai ma posso solo ringraziare per avermi fatto fare uno stupendo viaggio in treno
