I watched this last night after a stressful, depressing, anxiety-filled day at work. But I woke up refreshed after dreaming that I was hiking these trails. Great dreams. Usually I'd have nightmares about work after a day like that. What a Blessing! I truly can't thank you enough for these videos. It's the best content on YouTube.❤

Man your choice of music, epic views and minimal commentary make this video so soothing and amazing.

I went to Zermatt last year. Most insane views I have ever seen. I was lucky to have clear sky until 2-3 PM so the Matterhorn was clear to see. Perfect trails to hike and not too busy in the summer.

Absolutely stunning and so relaxing. I was last in Switzerland in 2016 on a solo motorcycle trip. My favourite place on earth!

As a photography and visual Arts lover, i can really appreciate the way you edited the video, very hard to make all those shots, music selection, like a Documentary, the ambiente music and sound design 🤯.
