SWITZERLAND: Rothorn mountain (3,103 m) & Sunnegga (2,288 m) [HD]
Rothorn Paradise (3,103 m) offers a spectacular view on 38 summits higher than 4,000 meters, and you can see the Matterhorn from its most beautiful side.
On the way to Rothorn is Sunnegga Paradise (2,288 m). It is a ski area that forms part of the Zermatt ski resort. The Sunnegga area catches a large amount of sun due to its unique topography, often despite the rest of Zermatt being submerged in cloud.

Swiss Railway Journeys - Glacier Express - Part 1 - Zermatt-Brig-Disentis
Join us on the world-famous Glacier Express for the journey of a lifetime along the backbone of the Swiss Alps. We travel with the Brig-Visp-Zermatt, Furka-Oberalp and Rhaetian Railway companies from Zermatt to St. Moritz.
Our journey begins at Zermatt, the mountain resort dominated by the distinctive peak of the Matterhorn. We admire the spectacular panoramic views from the top of the Gornergrat before joining the train for the ride along the scenic BVZ line to the Rhone valley. At Brig we take the opportunity to visit the Stockalper palace, before journeying along the spectacular FO line through the lush countryside of the Goms region. We break our journey to visit the magnificent Aletsch Glacier, and the picturesque village of Ernen.
Further along the route we poss through the Furka Tunnel to emerge into the wild Urseren valley. At Andermatt we make a diversion along the formidable Schöllenen Gorge before rejoining the train for a fabulous winter run through deep snow as the track snakes up the mountainside. We continue our summer expedition at the Oberalp pass, the summit of the line.

It went all too fast? You want the details? No problem.
Here are our recommendations in order of appearance:
0:08 Zürich
It runs like a swiss clock! Attractively set at the meeting of river and lake, the city is recognised as one of the world's most liveable cities. Switzerland’s largest and wealthiest metropolis is a must visit on every trip to this country.
0:08 Languages
It can be quite confusing. You leave one valley and suddenly you can’t read the street signs anymore. Switzerland is a multilingual country speaking four official languages being German, French, Italian and Rumantsch.
0:11 Luckmanier Pass
This beautiful road on the border between Graubünden and Tessin was one of our highlights on the tour. The route is not exactly a shortcut for anything which means you’ll be quite alone driving this route. That leaves you plenty of time to enjoy the views.
0:15 Largario and Acquarossa
The Valley of Acquarossa is our secret recommendation. It’s not untouched, but unspoiled. Hidden behind mountains from the motorway M2 it offers a small piece of rural Switzerland on the way.
0:17 Cascata di Foroglio
Oh, how beautiful water can be. The alps form the most stunning waterfall sceneries just like this one near Locarno.
0:20 Sonlerto
The URL to Sonlerto is dasschoenstedorf.ch which translates to “the most beautiful village”. This is not only funny, but very true. Sonlerto is tiny – only 35 houses – but is located near the dead end of Val Bavona in the very south of Switzerland. This lovely place offers a true getaway from everything.
0:23 Gotthard Pass
The Gotthard Tunnel might be one of Switzerlands greatest engineering masterpieces. But it’s useless from a petrolhead’s perspective. We highly, highly, highly recommend taking the time to go over the old pass and get dizzy on the twisty mountain road.
0:31 Andermatt and Wintersports
You can write books about the awesome skiing and snowboarding opportunities in Switzerland. But you already know that, do you? So we decided to take some wrong turns deliberately.
0:33 Locarno
It is hard to imagine that this city is not Italy (yet). Locarno offers a vibrant dolce vita lifestyle with everything you can ask for. People speak Italian, look Italian and act Italian – but they’re not. You’re still in multicultural Switzerland!
0:34 Punt Russein
This bridge in Disentis/Mustér stands representative for so many great things you find along the road. For every modern bridge you pass there’s an old one right next to it. Take the time. Explore them!
0:37 Castelgrande, Bellinzona
There are three castles in Bellinzona and this one is the most popular. Dramatically set on a rock above the city it’s the must visit when you’re in the Tessin region.
0:38 Altdorf
Altdorf is best known as the place where, according to the legend, national hero William Tell shot the apple from his son's head. Seriously: Don’t try this at home!
0:42 Verzasca Dam
Does it look familiar to you? This is the famous dam from the opening scene of James Bond – Goldeneye. And the bungee jump Pierce Brosnan did back then has become reality: You can jump from the same spot – if you dare. Unfortunately we couldn’t because it’s closed during the cold season.
0:52 The Secret Meadow
For this video Mazda offered us a unique experience. They gave us their new CX-5 and coordinates to a secret meadow in the middle of nowhere. To our surprise we found a prepared shipping container with everything you can ask for. We stayed there for the night, looking at the clear nightsky until the early morning hours.

Oberalp Pass Switzerland
The Oberalp Pass with a el. 2044 m, is a high mountain pass in the Swiss Alps connecting the cantons of Graubünden and Uri between Disentis and Andermatt.
A great place for hiking, biking and relaxing. And the water there, is just great.
Saxon-Switzerland National Park
Just half an hour out of Dresden is a place of incredible natural beauty. It’s a place where you can hike for days amongst soaring mountains, lush green valleys, trickling streams, quaint little villages and towering pine forests. It really is one of the most beautiful places I’ve seen and in this video I show you how to get to my favourite spot!

Switzerland with Great Rail Journeys
Glittering mountain peaks of grey and white, bountiful meadows of dancing yellow and blue flowers, azure lakes of pure waters – Switzerland is a landscape painting of immense natural beauty and exquisite pure splendour. The attraction of Switzerland is not only to be found in the abundance of nature, but also in the charming towns and cities which nestle in the green valleys of these remarkable mountain ranges. Delightful resorts such as Zermat and Interlaken are made up of classic Swiss buildings and chalets, with cobbled squares playing host to an array of restaurants and cafés.
Crisscrossing this chocolate-box nation is a well-maintained, modern rail network which features some of the best rail journeys in the world including the spectacular Glacier Express across the breadth of the country, and the sublime Bernina Express which runs all the way from Chur into the Italian town of Tirano. It is also home to the highest railway station in Europe, the Jungfraujoch at the summit of the mighty Jungfraujoch.
In this video, our Switzerland Product Manager Sarah Moore takes us through some of her favourite things about Switzerland, from the railway network to the traditional villages, and from the traffic free tranquillity of Kandersteg to the sumptuous cuisine.
