The Stanserhorn, and stunning views of Switzerland
This film of Stanserhorn, shot early on a fine summer’s day before too many visitors had arrived, shows the beauty and variety of Swiss landscape. The Stanserhorn mountain in the Uri Alps in Central Switzerland is 1,898 metres high, and served by a state-of-the-art cable car, the CabriO, opened in 2012, which is the subject of much of this video.
The film starts with a ride on the 1893 funicular which has been restored and takes passengers up the first of the two original sections, a nine minute trip up to Kälti station where they transfer to the modern cable car. The CabriO is unique in having two decks – one outside on the roof of the other, so passengers who are brave enough can travel up the mountain with the wind in their hair and fresh air in their lungs! (It also allows photographers like me to film an unencumbered view of the surroundings.)
The other part of the film shows the view from the revolving restaurant’s terrace near Stanserhorn’s summit. The peaks of mounts Pilatus, Rigi and Titlis are seen opposite; down the valley are Lakes Zug and Lucerne, with their towns of the same names; and the resorts of Bürgenstock and Stans itself.
Ebenalp, Switzerland in the Appenzell Alps
Welcome to beautiful Ebenalp. This video captures the expansive beauty of the Appenzell Alps from the northern most summit, Ebenalp. To travel there you must ride a cable car from Wasserauen. People have been visiting Ebenalp via cable car since 1955. Today almost 200,000 people visit each year. At 1,640 m high Ebenalp is a popular destination for skiing and hiking. In the summer, people marvel at the wild flowers of the alpine meadows and rock formations. Ebenalp offers access to a network of mountain huts and hiking trails that link to Säntis and Seealpsee. In the winter, people come to enjoy the Appenzellerland ski and snowboard runs, which offers free parking and fast lifts.
Aescher: Amazing Restaurant in the Swiss Alps
Watch my film of the Aescher Inn in the Swiss Alps right to the end and form your own opinion about this famous restaurant. The video will either convince you that you MUST see this place before you die, or that there’s NO chance of you being as comfortable as a mountain goat in such an environment!
What strikes you immediately about Aescher is its stunning location: ‘nestling’ under a 100m cliff, ‘tucked in’ to the mountainside, and ‘perched’ on a ledge above a long drop – this is the place for those who like to live life on the edge. On the other hand it’s quiet: all you can hear on the soundtrack are peaceful sounds of nature and my boots crunching on the path.
The movie takes you all around the vicinity of the inn, showing the various paths arriving at their goal, and also the terrace on the same ledge as the restaurant. I included plenty of shots of the 100m rock face above, because that’s one of the distinctive features of the Aescher’s location, as is the dramatic view down to the valley below.
Some of the things said about Aescher:
“the world’s most interesting restaurant”
“the destination of a lifetime”
“perhaps the most beautiful place in the world”
“mountain inn of the year, 2012” (the year it opened!)
Getting there (open May to November)
The ‘proper’ way to arrive is on foot, hiking up on one of four trails from Wasserauen, the terminus for the Alpenzeller train line. Aescher is at an altitude of 1454m (4,770 feet) so it’s going to take you three hours, but don’t worry: they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner all day, from 07.30 to 23.30.
If you are not able to undertake a three hour climb, then take the cable car up from Wasserauen to Ebenalp, then it’s just a fifteen minute walk on a paved path, though it is steep (you can see people arriving on this path towards the end of the film).
Unless you are in a party of ten or more, the restaurant will not reserve you a table: just turn up and wait your turn. There is a terrace with tables for fine weather. The menu is classic Swiss food: soups, cold meats, salads, sandwiches. A speciality is ‘rösti’ (potato fritters), with eggs and cheese. (But I don’t think the food is the point – their website hardly mentions it: it’s all about the location.)
Where to stay: The Aescher is a restaurant and it does not have rooms, so you will need to book somewhere else. If you want to stay on the mountain there are other guesthouses with accommodation within walking range – have a look at the Alpstein website.
Overtourism, Insta-hype and the Influencers……
What’s going on when a tourist attraction has 17,000 more visitors than the year before? When 105,000 visitors go to the same place in one summer? That’s what happened to Lake Cauma in Switzerland in 2017 – 2018. As a famous beauty spot, lots of people are going to check it out, but in the age of the internet and the digital camera they are not going to pass by without showing their friends and family what they are missing – probably via Instagram. And what will many of the ‘Instagrammed’ people do? Make a mental note to go look at it for real next summer, of course. Before then they will ‘share’ it with everyone they know too. The Swiss have a word for this exponential process: “Insta-hype”.
Switzerland is a relatively small country, and the beauty spots are well-known. Over-tourism is a real problem, as more people in the world become affluent: the more people who visit, the more they destroy the very experience they are seeking. The internet merely makes over-tourism happen more quickly. ‘Influencers’ are people with a lot of followers on Twitter or Facebook/Instagram, and some casual word from them can result in visitors flocking to a particular site. Naming somewhere the most “beautiful place in the world” could soon render it less beautiful, as more car parks have to be built and you start having to queue for the prime ‘selfie’ position!
So let’s finish this rant with a sad little story about the Berggasthaus Aescher: the couple who have owned the business for a long time are now having to give up because they can’t take the pressure of so many tourist visitors a day. New owners will take over next year. You might be thinking ‘Yes, I’ll bet they are crying all the way to the bank…’ But what if they liked their peaceful existence with less money but more beauty, before the influencers, Insta-hype and overtourism?
