Swiss Alps
Video Overview & Insights
Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2020 | Switzerland draws travelers from around the world for its legendary mountains. From the Matterhorn to the Jungfrau to Appenzell, we savor both the country’s jaw-dropping alpine beauty and the rich and resilient culture of its people. As we lace together that dramatic mountain wonder with scenic train rides, breathtaking lifts, and unforgettable hikes, we also enjoy alpine life — from exploring glaciers to making cheese the old-fashioned way. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #swissalps
Is dipping a beard in the cheese making kettle integral to the cheese making process? (Time 21:06)

@Je-s-s-e_J-a-m-e-si cant believe how beautiful switzerland is
@Je-s-s-e_J-a-m-e-sThese indigenous Europeans and their culture must be protected at all costs. This land is their sacred inheritance, a treasure beyond measure. If it is given away to the third world, as much of Europe has done, something beautiful and special will be lost forever.

@peteruppman2700On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1963) is the primary James Bond novel set in the Alps. While the story also appears in the 1969 film of the same name, additional books and films feature scenes or settings in these mountains.
I have a cousin whose son works for the... well, he's a librarian. So we have a family joke referencing this book when it comes to juniors business adventures. It's been fun.
Thank you so much sir!

@triponlynetThis is very special.
@ShirleyPotts-l1yVery interesting
@geoffreyrichardson8738When was this filmed? People are dressed like it's the mid-2000s but I see modern smartphones so it must be recent. Strange.
@MatthewApseyI'm glad I went to Europe before the tourism was so noticeable
