Switzerland 2018: The Haute Route (DOCUMENTARY)
Video Created By Brad Rindos
This is a video documentary detailing Crew 8's 100+ Mile, 11 Day Hike through the Alps of Switzerland. Crew 8 is a youth led venture crew from Chatham, New Jersey. In the summer of 2018, they packed their backpacks for the Haute Route. The Haute Route is a historic walking trail in Switzerland, traveling from Mont Blanc to the Matterhorn, and is used by townspeople, farmers, and merchants to get from village to village.
After completing a 126 Mile trek at Philmont in 2016, the boys suited up once again for an international trip before the senior crew members headed to college. The Switzerland idea brought about a whole new set of complexities: we would need to communicate in French and German, navigate public transport, and traverse MUCH steeper inclinations/declinations. Though a shorter trek than Philmont by distance, our crew gained more elevation than the height of Mount Everest.
As Crew 8 is youth led, youth leaders Brad Rindos and Matt Goldstein were responsible for planning routes, food, accommodations, and fundraising before departure. Once on the trail, the youth were responsible for executing plans, ensuring safety, and making decisions.
The trip was a massive success. Besides being more versed culturally, all 11 participants have grown in scout spirit, teamwork abilities, self-confidence, and friendship. They would like to thank their families for all their support.

Travel Switzerland by Train, Bus and Boat with Swiss Travel Systems (2019 Travel Guide)
Switzerland if full of charming mountain villages, and I'd heard one of the best ways to experience them is with Swiss Travel Systems. This public transport system connects nearly the entire country by rail, bus and boat. It’s known for being efficient, always on time and makes it very easy to travel between more than 75 Swiss cities and towns. But best of all, it passes through stunning scenery, some of which can only be seen by rail.
So I decide to traverse the country by rail on my weeklong holiday. I start my journey after landing at the Zurich Airport and head southwest to one of the countries most moneyed resorts, Gstaad, which is about a three-hour ride train ride. On part of it, I am aboard the Golden Pass, one of the panoramic trains, which offers wide-open views of some of the countries quintessential landscapes. I'm instantly impressed and happy I chose to travel this way.
My favorite part of this journey, however, is passing through small towns with snow-capped peaks in the background. One of the first things I notice in each town is the church, which is also often the highest building in town, and offers a certain kind of peacefulness at each sight.
Once I arrive in Gstaad, I most adore the chalet style architecture, openness of the country, and skiing and offbeat adventure like fat biking.
Up next, I head northeast to Interlaken. After a train ride just under 2 hours and with a few transfers, I jump right into adventure that tests my adrenaline threshold. At places like Vertical Rush, I break through fear on a base-jump simulator and later paraglide over the Victorian resort for more fun.
Then it’s time to wrap up the weeklong experience in another cozy mountain village, Grindenwald. To get here, it only takes about 30 minutes and offers an Apex ski experience at the base of Mt. Eiger, one of the most recognized mountains in the alps. It is known especially for a fierce North Face that only the most daring and accomplished climbers have conquered. On other mountains, you can find activities like the First Cliff Walk- a suspended walkway from the mountain, sledging and snow hikes to pristine alpine landscapes.
It’s tough to leave the Swiss countryside and resorts as I board a train back to Zurich, but I'm much happier than I would be had I chosen to drive. It's relaxing to just sit back and watch the scenery zoom by, and I'm so glad I decided to travel this way.
More perks of purchasing a Swiss train pass include half price tickets on mountain railway tours and free museum entry to 490 museums. Luggage can also be sent to and from your destination with your airline from every international airport in the world. And within Switzerland, you can send luggage from one destination to another, so there's no need to haul your skis and bags with you. On board, you can enjoy a meal in the dining carriage, or in the bistro or grab a snack in the minibar.
