So beautiful. A piece of art really. Loved it Kraig. 💗 I have a question though. I was binge-watching your videos the other day and noticed that you switched to 30fps from 24fps. May I know why? Is 30fps better for RUclips compression or some other reason?
Hi I thought you mentioned on your IG that you used Mavic Air2S for this hike? I see the link and the list shows a Mini 2. Kindly clarify this for me. Thank you
Can I ask what the rifugio at 2:45 is called? Also I want to really recommend valle d'aosta. Beautiful rifugios and amazing sights. Mostly single day trips though. If you want the longer hikes I can really recommend doing a tour from Glassier to Rifugio Chiarella Amiante and then cross to swiss via the mountains. Love your videos and good luck :)
Also wanna add that you went a pretty touristy route. If you go to the higher rifugios at 3-4000M you won't see as many people and you can get that more 'rustic' feel you were searching for. If you think about it, you're a bit of an outlier for the travelling company. They wanna attract the most people, so I don't think they are used to those really hard trails you were looking for.
I’ve seen every single one of your videos, and this one takes the cake for me. The amount of calm I experienced in the first 6 minutes is unlike anything else.
Was about to say the same thing. This is the best, most well shot and produced video to date. Very well done Kraig. I would love to do this hike as well as ski here in the winter!
Hey Kraig I'm from Italy and I've been in those places for 5yrs and still counting. Please note that Corvara and Canazei are one of the most frequented places during summer. That's why I may suggest you not to pay tour guides over there as towns and refugees are really well equipped and served. On day 3 you've been to Piz Boé (mountain crossing borders between 3 territories: Sudtirol, Trento and Belluno provinces) and yeah, as its one of the best places within Dolomiti, it's getting too much touristic because of cable cars. However, cable cars are there just because there were ruins of world wars, so they decided to build them to reach historic points. Trust me if I say that if you go to places not that touristic (Piz Boè is one of the most) you'll find much less cable cars and more isolation. Keep it up with your great work!
@@strawberrynoodles5470 it depends on which kind of hike are you looking for. If you are interested in a long hike such as Dolomiti's "Alta via" but with lot more isolated places (also less expensive), you should consider Alta Via n°6, also known as "Alta via dei Silenzi" (which means "Alta via of silence"). It's a bit less panoramic as it avoids Trentino Alto-Adige region which IMHO has the best views but it's by far the most crowded place. If you are interested in hikes with a historical value due to World War I, I'm not aware of a single long hike crossing them so I may have suggest short ones (10 to 20km) but still good: something such as Mt. Lagazuoi (near Cortina d'Ampezzo, quite famous and expensive) in which you descend/ascend through a long tunnel made by Italian soldiers; Or you could go near Italian/Austrian border in Val Pusteria and go hiking to 3 Cime di Lavaredo (one of the most famous but still not that crowded) or Monte Piana which is full of WWI covers and small tunnels If you are interested in panoramic hikes I may suggest you Val di Fassa near Moena (which is where Kraig ended it's journey), up until "Torri del Vajolet" and then move on to Lake Antermoia; or "Rifugio Mantova" near Mt. Vioz in Pejo (still Trentino Alto-Adige) which is one of the highest hut in Europe (3535m). However, the most scenic places I've seen are located near Pinzolo / Madonna di Campiglio, which are very expensive and very popular, even if highest hikes are not that much populated because it's a place for families. Everything there over 2000mt is just magnificient.
@@AnkitGupta-wj1wd due to the pandemic, Dolomites have been taken by assault by tourists. However, July is by far the most recommended, expensive, frequented and hot, even if sometimes it could hail or rain for an entire day. I prefer from mid to late June until early July or late August until early September, as the weather becomes way more unpredictable outside those months
Kraig, I made this hike myself two weeks ago. It was. absolutely phantastic. I had a blast! I used your guide to make reservations of the refuges along the trail and your map to hike. I made slight modifications, though, due to my travel from Poland to the trail head. I started hiking late (around 5 PM) in La Villa, north of Corvara, and stayed at Rifugio Gardenacia. On the second day I stayed at Rifugio Frara and then detoured at Rifugio Pisciadu a bit, which I then strongly regreted. I accidentaly lost the trail because it was hardly visible. When I reached closer to the end I ran into a horrible via ferrata. Never ever in my life was I so scared. It was very dangerous. With my heavy bagback and strong wind it was very hard to pull myself up. My legs were shaking but I made it. I strongly recommend everyone to follow your map and not to detour as there is no information on the trail marks. On my 4th day I stayed at Rifugio Marmolada. It wasn't any better than Rifugio Fedaia where you stayed at. They didn't speak English very well and the customer service wasn't as great. The entire area around Marmolada glacier is not interesting in general. All the rest was awesome! The views and the food - man! Very good! I had a lot of adventures and had really good time during my 7 days hike. I want to thank you for what you do, without you my hike would be impossible. Thank you, thank you, thank you. :)
@@stephan_clarkson I was quite a shy person, my 11 year relationship had ended. I met some wonderful people and the time alone in these mountains allowed me to reestablish who I wanted to be. Reflect on my past mistakes. And rebuild myself. I'm heading back this easter, alone again to spend time climbing and meet others
I’m only 2 or 3 minutes into this, and am almost overwhelmed by what a beautiful work of art it is. The productions, especially the editing, is superb!
Around these mountains my mother was born and raised along with her 4 other siblings.Watching this video stirred immense emotion from myself in knowing how much she missed her homeland after settling in Australia.I am truly stunned and in awe of the scenery here and am forever grateful a part of me feels to be home when i visit here.My oldest son loves it here too more than any other place in Europe.He wishes he could have spent time here with his grandma to tell her how much it means to him.Thnx for the video it was medicine for me and a gelati for my kids.
Makes me feel like i am actually there. Huge respect for your work must of taken a lot of time. Be safe out there and may the RUclips algorithm favour you more.
Loved this so much :) One thing however is that lots of people have accessibility issues or lack the good health to be able to hike up the mountains, and I don't think people being able to go up the mountain via cable car takes anything away from your own effort hiking up - other people's experience shouldn't influence your own and I think it's wonderful that everyone's able to access these gorgeous spots. I too prefer to hike it up (also, terrified of cablecars lol) but I'm happy people like my grandma can use the cable car. Keep up the good work!!!
it is interesting that the person who ordered the complete planning of the trip from the tourist agency complains that the cable cars make access to the peaks too much easier ;)
well said!! I was quite annoyed with that comment. What's it to anybody how you hike (or don't hike) if you're not bothering anybody? The Dolomites were my backyard for 4 years and guess what? there are TONS of places with amazing views that don't have cable cars. Dedicating time to do a little research you could've found places like Lago Coldai or Col di Prá that have amazing views and no cable cars but I'm sure it was much easier paying an agency to plan it for you.... I never let how other people decide to enjoy nature affect how I enjoy it (unless it's a speaker blasting music on the trail) Defo lost cool points with that comment...
@@dougmorales6929 I think Kraig had some questionable and insulting comments here regarding the European hikers, using cable cars as well as how to plan a multiple day hike etc. I also recognized that because he hadn't planned his own route basically he did the least spectacular hike in the Dolomites. Seriously, I know Dolomites quite well and all of the other long hiking routes in the Dolomites are much more spectacular than Alta via 2, his agency chosed the worst one, maybe it was intentional :D.
I’m so happy you realised planning your trip on your own is the way to do this. It gives you more control over the trip and the opportunity to learn about the place. Taking public transportation is a great way to travel.
I accidentally came across your videos today, it's a blessing. Your cinematography is breathtaking, can't wait to be able to hike those trails as well. You're adding so many places to my bucket list.
What some people might not understand is how this guys just mounts a camera goes back and forth to get all these amazing shots. Great video showing showing hard work and quality
Man this deserve millions of views. The first 6mins feels so surreal and heavenly ✨✨✨ and the whole video hits really different. Out of all your videos Kraig this is one of your best ❤️
Words never seem to clarify how astonishing your videos are. I appreciate them most in deep fall/winter due to the increased inspiration for the next season. The way you incorporate mother nature, with culture, and make us all feel like we too just did this journey is fantastic. This is as per usual, a true masterpiece. Cheers Kraig.
Absolutely beautiful. Walking is one of my favourite things to do and the only way I’ve found to truly meditate. It keeps me present and aligned with my authentic self. Thank you for recording and sharing these stunning moments.
Every time I watch a video of yours, I unknowingly take a long deep breathe that releases all the tension from my mind and body. Thank you, Thank you Kraig Adams.
We get such a great sense of what these beautiful places actually feel like with your videos Kraig! Your shots are so well composed, and highlight detail from vista to a flower, from a lonely path to hailstones, from expanse of mountains hard to take in to a dog accepting some pats! Thank you for breathing life and space into these videos, they are poetry!
What a beautiful view! you did a lot of effort by back and forth taking that video. Thank you for giving us virtual tour, I really hope I could visit Europe again after pandemic ends. Cheers from Indonesia!
This is outstanding. I’m still reeling from my first experience watching your 100 mile hike in Alaska. I’m going through a rough time right now and your videos and soundtrack choices bring me great solace and comfort. Thanks for being here Kraig.
One of my favorite things to do after a long stressful week is 🚬🥬 and watch these and just let my mind wander. Honestly its peace on earth. Thank you for taking us to these amazing places.
An epic, epic, epic video of an epic place. Most professionally created - this video is better than most Hollywood productions in my opinion. Thank you, Kraig, for showing all of us the Dolomites, something we can't do on our own.
This video is peaceful, informative, and funny all at the same time! I enjoyed it much and will definitely help me in my solo dolomite trip next week!! Thank you so much for the help and for hyping me to do this!
Just found your videos - stuck in southern Brazil after the third shot of COVID vaccine. VERY inspiring- for some of us - who, for different reasons, have been prevented from traveling and hiking because of the pandemic. Makes us breathe! Thanks!
These videos inspired me to go back to wilds. I remember my first 3-week hike when I was 14. The beautiful of nature makes me stronger and happier. Thank you!
Amazing video, i've spent part of my life in the Dolomites so i know very well the area where you've been. Watched all of it, it remembered me the really good time i've had. Regards from Israel (not exactly a place with nice mountains).
I’ve seen every single one of your videos, and this one takes the cake for me. The amount of calm I experienced in the first 6 minutes is unlike anything else.
The opening of this video has brought me to an emotional place. The majesty of nature is so moving to me, and to be in it is a purifying experience - the egoic stories and masks people build melt away, and all that is left are the essential parts, the truth, and the elements.
Another awesome adventure, Kraig. When your you were toasting your travelling companions and they both tapped the table with their glasses, it really brought me back to my time on exchange in Germany where I picked up the same habit. Thanks again, and keep them coming!
Every time I see you upload a new video, I think to myself, "how is he going to one-up the quality of the last one?" And yet, every video seems to beat the last in terms of cinematography. Absolutely stunning work.
i am in love with your videos...hiking in this beautiful nature is a form of meditation...thanks for sharing your joy...I am from Lebanon and we have many great places for hiking here too....best therapy ever💙
Non-stop goosebumps for the first 5 minutes of the video. Never seen such beautiful footage of the Dolomites. Truly one of the most incredible places on Earth. Thanks for sharing this amazing place !
I just randomly stumbled across this video and I remember seeing you on the way to Pisciadù. Me and my friends were descending and I even warned you about the bad weather and hail. You were very lucky. Please respect the mountain
Last year i walked the “dream path” Munich to Venice and i remember some parts where you walked. Sleped in the little mountain hut where you paded the black dog. Amazing area. I’m definitely going back there. Great mountains and good food. Keep up the good work. Keep on walking. ULTREIA !!
I did the section of the Alta Via 2 a few years ago between Ortisei and Falcade so it's nice to see some familiar sights. It was incredible, can't wait to go back. The Via Ferrata Delle Trincee was definitely a highlight for me
5 star rating! - I was listening to the podcasts where you shared plans to do this hike and I was so excited to see it today on my notification list! Super immersive, super spectacular. Keep on Hiking Kraig!
Loved this video. I don't mind the length. The drone shots were amazing, such beauty. To see how small humans are against the backdrop of awesome geology and nature. Thanks for taking us along and the guide section was great! I'm planning to go to the Dolomites with the same booking guide company you used, but being 66 and hiking with others my age or older, we'll stick to the towns and trails.
Totally into your video style - so relaxing and captivating with the soft music, and your detailed information on everything afterwards. When you started about the travel agency, that hit the spot, would be exactly the same for us! Best wishes from Germany
I've been dreaming of hiking this range for years now. Covid put a stop to it for me. I love the fact that the narrative is visual. Without a voice it's easier to put myself there. Would you be so kind as to let me know what this experience cost you, excluding flights. Much appreciated.
WIL DASOVICH brought me here , I'm so amazed of your passion in hiking , you literally introduce the real beauty of our mother nature . I feel in love with the perfect curves of the mountain and her high ranges , full of life , the sounds of the birds and fresh flowing water in the river . So brilliant and gorgeous .. From now on I'm your new subscriber here , full of love from the Philippines .,.. Good job nice video ...
Yeah the alps' glaciers are really small nowadays compared to some of the glacier in say the rockies or the andes etc... Tbf the dolomites are all the way at the southern edge of the alps so during summer the weather is really more Mediterranean compared to the central and Northern alps
Not sure which glaciers you are talking about, but you probably ment the snowfields. They are just leftover snow, compressed but to small to be ore become a glacier.
Hey Shawn. Of all the places to bump in to you lol. If only I could get over there for June... If you do end up going hope you have a good one :) Only slightly jealous.
Breathtaking isn't even enough of a word to describe that intro. I've never seen any of your videos before, but my jaw was on the floor during that entire drone sequence. It was unrivaled tranquility and brilliance.
There is something special about this film. My favourite of all your hikes and one I come back to again and again. Definitely inspired me to take a trip to the Dolomites myself with the drone and shoot. Thanks Kraig.
Beautiful video! I come from the dolomites, but even I don't know all the mountains and routes, there's too many! I use the Internet, it takes time to do the research, but you can find all the info you need to plan on your own. In the dolomites all the trails are very well signalled and it's quite easy to get around. Happy hiking to you all.
People have already brought up how much of a pain it must be to always walk back for the camera, but I love your total commitment to the usage of still frames. I see lots of channels that use a ton of drone and handheld footage and that's fine and all, but with all your stuff it's total immersion from the lack of movement. It's like we're actually there and we just paused to bask in the scene.
I'm a Taiwanese and like your amazing videos.Taiwan has one of the highest densities of tall mountains in the world. There are actually over 260 mountains over 3,000 meters in Taiwan. Hopefully you can come to Taiwan to film a video one day :)
My only recommendation would be to book way in advance usually as mountain huts in Italy get filled quite fast in the summer. As they are known for some of the best food and quite decent accomodations. And calling to book, managing to reach someone, and exchange a message in broken Italian can be difficult. That's the only advantage of a tour guide who has to deal with all of it themselves and guarantee you a spot somewhere.
I am blown away by your video👍🥰❤ Thank you for taking me with you in your journey. Enjoyed every minute of it, so manificent & breath taking. God bless & keep you safe.

I have a question though. I was binge-watching your videos the other day and noticed that you switched to 30fps from 24fps. May I know why? Is 30fps better for RUclips compression or some other reason?
It's amazing beautiful video.🤗
Thank you very match, Kraig! 🤝😊
Hi I thought you mentioned on your IG that you used Mavic Air2S for this hike? I see the link and the list shows a Mini 2. Kindly clarify this for me. Thank you
Can I ask what the rifugio at 2:45 is called? Also I want to really recommend valle d'aosta. Beautiful rifugios and amazing sights. Mostly single day trips though. If you want the longer hikes I can really recommend doing a tour from Glassier to Rifugio Chiarella Amiante and then cross to swiss via the mountains. Love your videos and good luck :)

Let's just appreciate the fact that he sets up the camera, then walks away, then goes back to take the camera and walks away again.
Yes. I always think about that whenever I watch his videos. 👏👏
@@MuhammadAli-ti4wd Hahaha same - I'm thinking he must walk an extra 10km per trek just setting everything up and filming the…'re-walk'
@@rymig lmao true that. Anyways thumbs up for his dedication and great camera work 👍🏻
Since he had his drone with him, I was wondering if he just left it to film him walk off and then retrieved it by making it fly to him...
And it takes the depth of articulated heart and soul to do that. :)
This is not just breath taking ... this is soul cleansing.
mind cleansing is what this is
doing it feels better
I’ve seen every single one of your videos, and this one takes the cake for me. The amount of calm I experienced in the first 6 minutes is unlike anything else.
Agreed :))
Yes, I feel relaxed after 6 minutes. It is a mood changer. Thanks Kraig.

Hey, can you recommend some more hikes or what was your favorite so far?
@CapitanFindusFI I'd also love to know your favorite hikes in Dolomites apart from the most known touristic ones.
Which is the best month to do the Dolomites trek? July/August or is it possible to do it a little earlier

you cant complain about english and services at 3000m, adapt or dont come again

Exactly! Solo hikes allow you to immerse yourself in the hike and take a walk with a "friend".
The cinematography of the video is at a whole quantum level. Amazing eye... and my god, how is the exposure so perfect? 🤯
I've thought the same!
Dynamic range on those shots is huge! Specially amazing and difficult to balance on drone shots!
could be HDR

Thank you for breathing life and space into these videos, they are poetry!
What a beautiful view! you did a lot of effort by back and forth taking that video. Thank you for giving us virtual tour, I really hope I could visit Europe again after pandemic ends. Cheers from Indonesia!
Love it! Such an inspiration! The weekend mood;) We don't need to go to Mars to start appreciating our planet!
17:27 ))))✌️
scared me a bit there
This is outstanding. I’m still reeling from my first experience watching your 100 mile hike in Alaska. I’m going through a rough time right now and your videos and soundtrack choices bring me great solace and comfort. Thanks for being here Kraig.
This is probably close to 100 miles after he walks it twice to set up the camera then go back to get it lol
Another CA instant classic. Framing and composition master class.
The music, the mountains, the photos... this is the place of my dreams!
When Kraig drops an entire film you know it's gonna be great!
After all my hikes, I always feel like my videos and photos never do it justice. Yours IMPROVE and add so much beauty to the experience.
One of my favorite things to do after a long stressful week is 🚬🥬 and watch these and just let my mind wander. Honestly its peace on earth. Thank you for taking us to these amazing places.
Hell yeah I also love taking a fat broccoli smoke every once in a while
@@equation1321 what is broccoli smoke? Bro
@@shahinaparvin7721 smoking broccoli is a euphemism for something else haha
An epic, epic, epic video of an epic place. Most professionally created - this video is better than most Hollywood productions in my opinion. Thank you, Kraig, for showing all of us the Dolomites, something we can't do on our own.
This video is peaceful, informative, and funny all at the same time! I enjoyed it much and will definitely help me in my solo dolomite trip next week!!
Thank you so much for the help and for hyping me to do this!
Just found your videos - stuck in southern Brazil after the third shot of COVID vaccine. VERY inspiring- for some of us - who, for different reasons, have been prevented from traveling and hiking because of the pandemic. Makes us breathe! Thanks!
These videos inspired me to go back to wilds. I remember my first 3-week hike when I was 14. The beautiful of nature makes me stronger and happier.
Thank you!
Amazing video, i've spent part of my life in the Dolomites so i know very well the area where you've been. Watched all of it, it remembered me the really good time i've had. Regards from Israel (not exactly a place with nice mountains).
I’ve seen every single one of your videos, and this one takes the cake for me. The amount of calm I experienced in the first 6 minutes is unlike anything else.
If anyone knows Kraig they know he loves coffee and that giant mug of coffee was definitely worth the 😳
mans was like ☕️👈🏻😳
The opening of this video has brought me to an emotional place. The majesty of nature is so moving to me, and to be in it is a purifying experience - the egoic stories and masks people build melt away, and all that is left are the essential parts, the truth, and the elements.
Kraig, that's a whole film! Gonna watch it on my TV tonight! 😂 Dolomites will always be in my heart, hope you enjoyed them as well 😉🏞️
Beautiful isn't it ⛰
I miss it. Damn Covid spoiling everything :( x.x
Another awesome adventure, Kraig. When your you were toasting your travelling companions and they both tapped the table with their glasses, it really brought me back to my time on exchange in Germany where I picked up the same habit. Thanks again, and keep them coming!
Every time I see you upload a new video, I think to myself, "how is he going to one-up the quality of the last one?" And yet, every video seems to beat the last in terms of cinematography. Absolutely stunning work.
i am in love with your videos...hiking in this beautiful nature is a form of meditation...thanks for sharing your joy...I am from Lebanon and we have many great places for hiking here too....best therapy ever💙
My favorite part: when you say “AHA!” 😂 …also the scenery is pretty neat 😃
definitely an Alan Partridge reference
It's absolutely wonderful work. I think he set the standard for beautiful hiking videos.
Non-stop goosebumps for the first 5 minutes of the video. Never seen such beautiful footage of the Dolomites. Truly one of the most incredible places on Earth. Thanks for sharing this amazing place !
I just randomly stumbled across this video and I remember seeing you on the way to Pisciadù. Me and my friends were descending and I even warned you about the bad weather and hail. You were very lucky. Please respect the mountain
nobody talking about the respectful man in 33:52? Nearly the highlight of this video! :D , btw THANK YOU KRAIG!!
He's like, OOPS. Haha nice
I appreciate the work you go through to put all this up on the internet for us.
Last year i walked the “dream path” Munich to Venice and i remember some parts where you walked. Sleped in the little mountain hut where you paded the black dog. Amazing area. I’m definitely going back there. Great mountains and good food. Keep up the good work. Keep on walking. ULTREIA !!
I did the section of the Alta Via 2 a few years ago between Ortisei and Falcade so it's nice to see some familiar sights. It was incredible, can't wait to go back. The Via Ferrata Delle Trincee was definitely a highlight for me
Ah yes, the Dolomites, they are magnificent indeed! You captured them perfectly! :)
This song is relaxing thank you for being such a great person to help us if what people are going through
I love how you left the "peace sign" guy in there lol
5 star rating! - I was listening to the podcasts where you shared plans to do this hike and I was so excited to see it today on my notification list! Super immersive, super spectacular. Keep on Hiking Kraig!
Thanks for the content you post regularly, it has helped a lot with my depression!
Man honestly bro your videos remind me how beautiful the world is outside of the city, work, civilization. I really need to go hiking some day.
Loved this video. I don't mind the length. The drone shots were amazing, such beauty. To see how small humans are against the backdrop of awesome geology and nature. Thanks for taking us along and the guide section was great! I'm planning to go to the Dolomites with the same booking guide company you used, but being 66 and hiking with others my age or older, we'll stick to the towns and trails.
The most beautiful mountains!. Absolutely fantastic!
This may very well be the best hiking video I’ve ever watched. Truly inspiring. The pace, the edit, sound. Every cut. Very good man. Keep it up.
Totally into your video style - so relaxing and captivating with the soft music, and your detailed information on everything afterwards. When you started about the travel agency, that hit the spot, would be exactly the same for us! Best wishes from Germany
Thank you for carrying us around! Beautiful views!
I've been dreaming of hiking this range for years now. Covid put a stop to it for me. I love the fact that the narrative is visual. Without a voice it's easier to put myself there. Would you be so kind as to let me know what this experience cost you, excluding flights. Much appreciated.
Words can't describe what these visualisations provide me in terms of a comfort/euphoric feeling....
This was such a beautiful video! I am sorry you had a bad experience with the agency but glad you had a good time in my backyard! :)
WIL DASOVICH brought me here , I'm so amazed of your passion in hiking , you literally introduce the real beauty of our mother nature . I feel in love with the perfect curves of the mountain and her high ranges , full of life , the sounds of the birds and fresh flowing water in the river . So brilliant and gorgeous .. From now on I'm your new subscriber here , full of love from the Philippines .,.. Good job nice video ...
It's amazing how little snow is left on those mountain glaciers, similar to what you see in the western U.S. Great video, once again!! Regards
Yeah the alps' glaciers are really small nowadays compared to some of the glacier in say the rockies or the andes etc...
Tbf the dolomites are all the way at the southern edge of the alps so during summer the weather is really more Mediterranean compared to the central and Northern alps
Not sure which glaciers you are talking about, but you probably ment the snowfields.
They are just leftover snow, compressed but to small to be ore become a glacier.
Kraig your videos are so inspiring. I hope in my lifetime I can manage to go to maybe even a quarter of the places you have been.
Oh hey Tom, lol. We're both on hike-tube. Shout if you're in the continent this June and might want to do the Dolomites. -Sean M
Hey Shawn. Of all the places to bump in to you lol. If only I could get over there for June... If you do end up going hope you have a good one :) Only slightly jealous.
The sceneries are absolutely breathtaking!! Wonderful hike and adventure Kraig 👍
Breathtaking isn't even enough of a word to describe that intro. I've never seen any of your videos before, but my jaw was on the floor during that entire drone sequence. It was unrivaled tranquility and brilliance.
This is so long! So much content! I can't wait until I can watch this in peace :))
I’m hiding in the bathroom so I can’t get disturbed lol
Stunning viewing Stunning..
and them SPOTS dotted along the way..
Never thought hiking would be so pleasurable...glad to have experienced that world..
Dude, you’re work is an absolute inspiration. Thanks for what you do!
This is far beyond of any nature hiking I’ve been experienced!!! WELL DONE MAN !!!
So peaceful! The beauty of nature is amazing, thank you for sharing! 🏔
There is something special about this film. My favourite of all your hikes and one I come back to again and again. Definitely inspired me to take a trip to the Dolomites myself with the drone and shoot. Thanks Kraig.
Beautiful video! I come from the dolomites, but even I don't know all the mountains and routes, there's too many! I use the Internet, it takes time to do the research, but you can find all the info you need to plan on your own. In the dolomites all the trails are very well signalled and it's quite easy to get around. Happy hiking to you all.
People have already brought up how much of a pain it must be to always walk back for the camera, but I love your total commitment to the usage of still frames. I see lots of channels that use a ton of drone and handheld footage and that's fine and all, but with all your stuff it's total immersion from the lack of movement. It's like we're actually there and we just paused to bask in the scene.
your videos help me a lot especially in times when its hard. always. thank you so much kraig. beautiful shots and awesome just as usual :)
This is my movie night,instead i watched this,with some popcorn😀this video one of best!!Need more!felt like im hiking with kraig
I’m liking the poles. I’m a PT and they reduce vertical forces at the knee by 15%.
actually its 14.2%***
After all my hikes, I always feel like my videos and photos never do it justice. Yours IMPROVE and add so much beauty to the experience.
I'm a Taiwanese and like your amazing videos.Taiwan has one of the highest densities of tall mountains in the world. There are actually over 260 mountains over 3,000 meters in Taiwan. Hopefully you can come to Taiwan to film a video one day :)
I was glad that Kraig visited Taiwan last year despite that it was a sponsored endeavor
The beauty of this land you gave us, that’s amazing ✨
Thank you for every ways 🍀
My only recommendation would be to book way in advance usually as mountain huts in Italy get filled quite fast in the summer. As they are known for some of the best food and quite decent accomodations. And calling to book, managing to reach someone, and exchange a message in broken Italian can be difficult. That's the only advantage of a tour guide who has to deal with all of it themselves and guarantee you a spot somewhere.
Do you recommend any cheap tour guides?
I am blown away by your video👍🥰❤ Thank you for taking me with you in your journey. Enjoyed every minute of it, so manificent & breath taking. God bless & keep you safe.
