many thanks for the compliments, Barry, and yes, the Swiss mountain Fondue actually even tastes better than it looks. Thanks for watching and see you in Switzerland!
yes, that's my favourite bit as well - in fact it is for every Swiss found-lover :-) But the cheese has to be from a great cheese-store and the mix of the different cheeses as well. See you in Switzerland and greetings to Devon 🙂
Thanks for watching, Wildcat, yes I a very privileged to live in this beautiful country. But there are other incredibly beautiful places as well, check out New Zealand, the landscape blew me away. chers and safe travels Simon
My eyes were full of tears watching your video. The simplicity the tranquility and the beautiful scenery. You are a very lucky man to be able to enjoy such experiences. I wish you many many more ❤
Enjoyed the calmness while experiencing the scenery. Thank you. The train was different, I like that experience. And, honestly loved how you took the garlic around your pan. I've never seen that done before. 💝. Dinner looked divine.
Hello, my name is Cindy and I'm from Tell City, Indiana, USA. Our town was settled by the Swiss and named after William Tell. At first they called it Helvitia then changed it to Tll City. Said the area reminded them of home cause of the hills. Although its pretty, its nothing like Switzerland. We were settled by the Swiss/German. Just wanted to say hi and start following you. 😊
Hello Cindy and many thanks for watching and the historic background of Tell city, now All city. I had absolutely no idea that a city with that name even existed. How wonderful. So you must have a couple of people living there who actually still speak Swiss German? Or at least a cheese shop to buy a selection of great Swiss cheeses like Gruyere, Appenzeller or Emmentaler? :-) I lived in Colorado and New York NY for some years and both my sons were born in the US. Just looked up Tell City on google maps. Maybe I will pass through your town when travelling on the Panamericana and cook some fondue for you.. Cheers and have a great day Simon
so funny you ask, James, and I am actually surprised that nobody asked that before. It is an antique bronze figure that I bought about 15 years ago which is my lucky charm and has followed me ever since. I just mounted it on my lamp - and it fit perfectly. Cheers and thanks for commenting Simon
I took 2 of my Kids to St Moritz to Ski and drove via the Julierpass in February. It would be interesting to spend a night at 2284m on that Pass in the Snow!
Normally I also take the Julier Pass, but with the traffic and my truck I hold up all the travellers behind me.. You should check out the area in Summer, it's fantastic as well. Thanks for watching
I’m new to your channel. A few months ago, I drove from 🇫🇮 to Swiss and stayed for a month at Isenfluh & explored the close-by area & also Delemont. I want to return, 🇨🇭 is although quite expensive it’s MAGICAL & worth the price❤😊 . We have to bring all supplies though from Germany or France. I had been wondering if I would go with a camper trailer in the future but with something that big or a similar vehicle like yours would have difficulties navigating along the winding & going up the small mountain roads. Probably won’t fit Isenfluh’s tunnel. I want to return… I think about Swiss everyday. I’m a new vlogger / chef too, adventure / culinary / pastry & bread baking is my theme. Maybe we can do a collaboration when I return someday.
@@simonjourneyman I love my custom made Mitsubishi Fuso. I hope you are in Switzerland and enjoying your second life. I believe this car is made in Germany.Is it possible for me in Japan to get the same car?
The Zetros is massive and definitely not suitable for this country. But everybody is very welcome to drive a Zetros across the Swiss alps :-)) Cheers Simon
@@simonjourneyman No, no, you should be referring to version 6×6. It's a bit too cumbersome for a lot of valley trails. But 4×4 is more suitable for the terrain of the Alps.
yes, James, I actually did have dos all my life - 7 of them to be precise. But I wait until that lost stray-dog walks around the corner, offering me his friendship :-) Cheers Simon
@@minicatschweiz6355, ja, es gab Riesenprobleme beim Vorführen in der CH. Aber trotzdem laufen 3 typengleiche Fahrzeuge in der Schweiz, eine Zulassung ist also möglich. Ich würde jedoch beim Kauf den Hersteller dafür verantwortlich machen, dass das Fahrzeug in der Schweiz vorgeführt wird. Good luck und Gruss Simon
hi Lang, I bought it in Heimsheim, Germany and this build costs around 300K €. This is the link to the builder: www.woelcke.de/expeditionsmobile.html I know people who both a used chassis and built the cabin themselves, then it costs about half of that. Good luck with your expedition vehicle and safe travels Simon
Just found your channel. Loved your country and content. I liked that you look safe in your travels, i was fortunate to travel to Austria on one of our adventures and adored the Alps, but unfortunately never got to Switzerland 😢. Maybe one day in my next life. ❤ happy travels from a new subscriber. Louise Australia 🇦🇺 😊
Hello Louise, thanks for watching and subscribing, very much appreciated. Yes, it's definitely worth to visit Switzerland when you are in Europe. A lot of things to see in a relative short distance. Many tourists don't visit Switzerland because they think it is tremendously expensive, but when you know where to go and do your research, its is actually not that expensive at all. Visited your beautiful country on my way to New Zealand and will probably take the tour on the mainland via India and Indonesia to travel in Australia again. Must be incredibly beautiful. Cheers and safe travels to you, Simon
Your girlfriend is absolutely right, I used to have dogs all my life, but traveling with dogs is different, maybe I find a lost dog on the road somewhere..
Buona giornata Francesca, I use the starch / cherry alcohol mix to bind the hot liquid fat from the cheese with the cheese to generate a homogeneous mass. thanks for watching - and trying the swiss fondue :-)

I must be honest ... I felt jealous🤠have a happy route!
Vraiment une excellente vidéo du début à la fin, les images sont superbes et les musiques au top!! merci pour ce partage !!!
merci a vous, Mo Aly, et oui, ca vaut la peine de voyager 5 heures pour profiter d'une fondue Suisse dans les montagnes ;.)
Such beautiful scenery. The only thing missing from the video would be a pet 😊 Fantastic video.
.. yes, I had dogs al my life and miss them dearly. But to travel long international trips is rather hard for dogs.. thanks for watching. cheers Simon
Fantastic scenes. I loved that ride on the train and that time-lapse is amazing.
Thank you very much!
Wonderful video as usual..
Can't get enough!!!
Thanks again!
Happy travel, happy life on this way. Thanks.

Amazing landscape! I really wanna go there, it is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing
Holy crap that auto train through the tunnel was crazy!

Grossen Dank Thomas Schreiber - und danke fürs Schauen, beste Grüsse aus der Schweiz
Pemandangan yang indah, saya suka ini

Zurich ist eine wunderbare Stadt...Die Engadine ist zwar auch wunderbar.
Ja, beides sehr schöne Orte, Anne, ich liebe die Berge im Engadin :-)
And the mountains and snow are fantastic
The very best bit, the crusted cheese from bottom of the pan. Thank you. Best wishes from Devon UK
yes, that's my favourite bit as well - in fact it is for every Swiss found-lover :-) But the cheese has to be from a great cheese-store and the mix of the different cheeses as well. See you in Switzerland and greetings to Devon 🙂

Ok I have to ask what kind of creature was on the lamp on your table,it was really cool.
