September trip in Switzerland: my (drone) videos

Short summary – read this first

Kevin kicked off this thread by sharing a bunch of videos from his September trip to Switzerland, focusing on stunning locations in the Berner Oberland and Aletsch Arena. He's eager to help others with any questions about itineraries or gear since this is his fourth time visiting the country and he plans to return again.

Key takeaways:
  • Check out the Swiss Travel Pass for unlimited travels on public transport, which can save you money if you're visiting multiple locations.
  • Don't miss exploring underrated places like Allmendhubel for budget-friendly experiences.
  • Plan your trip around the first two weeks of September for warm weather and fewer crowds, but be aware that fall colors may just be starting to show.
➤ For an instant mobile ticket, with easy online cancellation, get your Swiss rail passes from the official SBB tourist webshop.

    Per the moderators request, I am consolidating all of the videos from our September trip into one thread 🙂 here’s the ones I have so far with many others coming from the Berner Oberland and Aletsch Arena coming that I’ll add to this thread as well 🙂 Fyi, this are just for fun (not monetized) and just to contribute back to this site I’ve benefited from over the years. Happy to answer questions about locations, itineraries or camera gear used. This is our 4th trip and we’ll be back 🙂

    Here’s a video of Lauterbrunnen – our base for all of our trips to Berner Oberland – at the end there’s some bonus footage of the Jungfrau Marathon coming through as well as the Cattle Descent

    Kevin,

    Great videos, you have probably been asked but haven’t seen it yet…what equipment are you using? Did you have any issues flying your drone anywhere in Switzerland?

    Some video of Murren, Allmendhubel (underrated and inexpensive) and the beautiful Flower Trail down to Murren (easy hike, best in the afternoon)

    Here’s some video from Wengen and Mannlichen, including the gondola, the amazing playground for kids of all ages and some bonus footage at the end of the Cattle Descent into Wengen…

    Thanks again for another great video Kevin.

    I’ve only visited Wengen during the winter, so it’s nice to see the landscape without the snow.

    Kind regards,

    Awesome footage! Amazing landscape! Can’t wait to visit next September. Had to cancel in 2020 😢

    Here’s some video of the amazing Panorama Trail from Mannlichen to Kleine Scheidegg and the scenic train ride back down to Wengen – maybe the most beautiful easy hike in the region.

    Amazing footage (and weather) again! It gives a really good impression of what the area is like.

    Wonderful footage! Thanks for sharing. May I ask what week in September this was? I noticed the trees were just barely starting to turn colour and it still looks very warm out. (We are hoping to do a trip with fall colours but still hikeable weather haha)

    Our trip was the first 2 weeks of September – very warm for the first 10 days or so but so hard to predict.

    Here’s some video of the Panoramic Trail at Schynige Platte… one of our favorites… great ridge hike.
