BRAVO, Sir! This is Exactly how a trip like this should be presented. Focused on the Beauty around you that you went there to see, not on talking to the camera (or worse, filming yourself eating/drinking). Thanks so much for sharing! Subscribed.
Welcome, yes we do try to not be on screen very much so you see the place. One of things that always annoyed us when watching other videos. 😊
Love Saturday mornings spent with your wonderful videos! Thank you so much.
I truly appreciate your videos and your narration. Very informative and I felt like I was there with you visiting Zermatt in Switzerland. Not just this but all of your videos. I hope you continue to give us beautiful, wonderful and exciting travel experiences. Keep safe and God bless to you both.
Thank you so much 😊 very kind 😊
Thank you for this video! I was able to relive memories of Zermatt from 2019! It was my absolute favourite of all the cities and villages we visited then. I had always longed to visit this place and so glad I did. Forget the expense, it‘s so beautiful you‘ll soon forget you‘re paying for it!
Watching your channel, my bucket list gets longer & longer. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! Switzerland is such a beautiful country!! When I commuted to Germany in 1985-1987 I saw much of Switzerland. Truly a favorite. This brought back many memories..
Absolutely gobsmackedly beautiful place, especially up in the mountains!!! I had tears in my eyes just looking at the scenery! It was more than what I had expected! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful place with us ❤️
Probably the world's best scenic railway journey.
Thanks for taking us on your trip! Breath taking.
Thank you, Switzerland 🇨🇭 is just beautiful. I appreciate all your tips on how to save money and get the most of a visit. Looks like May is a good time of the year to visit, not as crowded and the weather very pleasant.
We were in between seasons and I agree it is a great time to go, starts to get busy again from June.
It is still one of my most treasured memories. Beautiful place. Highly recommend.❤
Love this ❤. Can't wait for the next trip
Beautiful!!! Hugs and blessings
What a beautiful video! Thanks boys for sharing
Thanks for the memories. I visited Zermatt in 2016. Breathtaking.
I've never had the urge to visit Zermatt until now, you did a wonderful job of highlighting the appeal of this beautiful village. Thank you.
You should, it’s incredible. We are going back for more of Switzerland in the future. Had no idea we would love it so much.
Absolutely stunning views of the mountains, Switzerland is beautiful, thankyou for showing
Great video once again guys 🙏
Wow ,Zermatt and Switzerland ist truly amazing and so breathtaking beautiful,but utterly expensive .Thank you dear Simon&Will for sharing ,we hope you"ve had some wonderful days there with Will"s Parents.XXErika&hubby
Yes incredibly expensive, some of the attractions are once in a life time due to the costs. We tried our best to have a budget and eating in and travelling as a four so we could share accommodation costs really helped. As did the half fare card! ☺️
I was missing your videos last days!!🙏🙏Thank you for the magnificent video of Switzerland!!! Lookin forward more and more!!! 🙏👏👏🙋🏻♀️🇧🇷
Welcome back, what a wonderful trip! Thanks for sharing it with us, looking forward to the next section. Ive been fascinated with the Matterhorn ever since reading Banner In the Sky at school. Hope all is well with you both now. Cheers Cheryl 🙂
It all looks so clean and well kept. My vertigo definitely wouldnt allow such a journey but I could enjoy it through your video.
Incredibly beautiful Zermatt, Swiss Alps ... I love Switzerland ...to me it is Paradise since childhood days and your video is also same beautiful.... thanks ❤️

Hermoso país grasias x mostrarlo será más fácil llegar acomodarse a sus alrededores grasias x tu video
Thank you for the beautiful video. I admit that prices have kept my husband and I from traveling to Switzerland. What an amazing adventure!
Yes you do have to be smart with the money to visit. Costs can escalate very quickly. That is why we self catered. 😊 It helped a bit! 😂
Another AUsome video. We’ll be coming in Dec during Christmas. We’re so excited!😎💥💖🚄
Haya. Wow & wow, stunning everywhere, those views are simply jaw droppingly wonderful 🤩Thanku so much as always for taking us along & for sharing 🙂

Love this! My husband skiied in Zermatt many years ago when he was in his 20s. He'll be so happy to see this. You do the BEST travel videos of anyone on utube.
Thank you so kind ☺️

Seeing your video I am very much eager to visit the Swiss Alps even though I know its quite expensive. Thank you MemorySeekers.
They let you lot out of the UK? Call Interpol! 😆 But seriously, great video, it makes me want to visit Switzerland now. I'm consistently impressed with your videography; well done.
Haha we get out quite a bit ☺️ thank you for watching and your kind words ☺️
Wow what a breathtaking video 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Thank you very much!
I've enjoyed watching your video!👍
Thank you very much
Beautiful video of my favorite town in Switzerland! We just visited in August. When you go back, do go up to the top of the Gornergrat again and see the museum which has so many artifacts and facts about the Matterhorn including the story of Richard Andenmatten who ascended the Matterhorn more than 800 times!! Also, even though restaurants are expensive, be sure and have Chateau Briand at Max Julen’s restaurant, right down the street from the large church and on the river. It is world famous. Max was the 1984 Olympic gold medal winner in the giant slalom and he and his family run the hotel and restaurant. We found their hospitality and accommodations excellent! Thank you again for all your videos and advice. When I go back, I will go on some hikes!
Thank you for the tips!
Grazie mille Zermatt. Gia' dispongo di svariati video ricordi da Zermatt con vista sui due versanti della montagna (lato itagly e lato Switzerland).
Lol no to the suspension bridge, but the architecture and the scenery is amazing. A hidden gem. Thank you as always =-)
😂 not for everyone
Sorry for falling behind! This was just incredible! You are very brave to cross that suspension bridge...my knees would have been quaking the whole time. I do hope your difficult family situation has improved. I so appreciate your videos, which have helped me through some rough times of my own. Such a lovely treat, to travel with you for half an hour to some of the most fantastic places ever. I love that we get to be up close and personal with what each location has to offer. Take care, Simon and Will...I'll be catching up soon.
Hello no problem, you are only a few behind. We’ve had to slow things down as the family still needs our help and so we can’t get about as much and spend time editing. Not sure when things improve for now. Thanks for asking!
Been a long time since I was able to enjoy some time in Zermatt. Doesn't look as if it's got any less beautiful in the interim! The Swiss trains and other public transport make sightseeing easy and glorious, if a bit expensive! 😉😊
A pity about the top-level cloud screening the Panorama at times. In clear weather you'd think you've died and gone to heaven! Lucky to hit it for all but a single day on my 2 visits all those years ago. Hiked up to the refuge hut to get close views of the Matterhorn from the moraine on the far side of the Matterglacier then walked back down via the hydro dam. Easy enough when you are young and fit - a bit tougher to repeat when you've got a few more years under your belt. 🙄😂
😂 the cloud seemed to bubble up in the afternoons, but really we were just happy it was dry and warm!
感谢您的视频，居然有中文，毫不犹豫地订阅了❤
❤❤❤
Hi Simon and Will. Zermatt looks like an absolutely stunning place to visit. The hike to the suspension bridge and surrounding countryside views look amazing. I may have said this before, but the first time I saw the mountains (Canadian prairie girl here) in Jasper Alberta, I felt like I was standing next to God himself. Indescribable beauty. I can’t imagine being amidst 29 mountain peaks. It’s a powerful thing. Another great informative video. Thank you. I know you’ve been going through a rough time. Hoping things get better. Sending love to you and yours. ❤️🍁🇨🇦🇬🇧🎃🧡
Thank you Jill, we are holding up and adjusting as we help and support our family.
In the late 80s i was able to have holidays in Switzerland as my aunty tricia lived over there. My visit to Zermatt was from Vevey to Zermatt in the back of a VW golf soft top after a hefty night drinking. On arrival my aunt met up with Tony Ashton....he of Resurrection shuffle fame....they had lunch whilst myself and my then partner headed off up in the cable car/gondola to the snowy heights. All i can say is, that snow and sunshine after a nights drinking and a gal can get the mother of all migranes. 😅
Thank you for the beautiful film. Too bad everything in Switzerland is so expensive.
👌👌👌
Quisiera viajar algún a suiza se ve que es un maravilloso país y tiene lugares fantástico
¡Esperamos que llegues allí!
Great video. You were there in May? I thought you were in the Faroe Islands in May! Love your perspective on these places. I do think you guys need to be on-camera more like you were in the Scotland videos. We love to see your personal views on these places you visit. Just a thought! Keep up the great content! Cheers!
We were in both, it was a busy month. It was the last few days of May for Switzerland. Yes you are right we have got out of the habit of recording bits with us in. I was thinking that the other day. Will take a while to correct that mind you as we have at least 10 videos in the vault waiting to be edited and I think for most of them we didn’t film ourselves. 🫤doh!
Different folks - different strokes, I guess. But that's 1 view that I personally do not support! Except for those circumstances where it is important to see the interactions with locals or the other holiday makers' reactions, the camera's view should not be blocked. Those narcissistic yammering fools who purport to be making a video showing us the glories of nature but spend 2/3 of the time with themselves blocking out the view and sound of same leave me cold. Whether of some wild and scenic natural masterpiece or a quaint English historical village, my view of these videos by Will, Simon et al is that they are very professionally done. All the useful and necessary travel and historical information is always included in a manner that allows the viewer to picture themselves in the location - and to make plans to go there themselves sometime in their lives if at all possible. For those who just have to have screaming noise, pyrotechnic video and elbow-jostling selfies - take your iPhones to a Kiss concert! 🙄🧐
Omg I was going to go there last month only I switched Destin to Tunisia so I could go Switzerland next year with a mate
Something to look forward too!
Hello , I would love to do this trip looks like Spring would be a good time to go . Thank you.
Happy Christmas 🎅 all the best for the new year ahead. Thanks for watching and chatting doing the year. 😊
👀🤗👍🏻🍅❤Thanks!
Excelente postagem da Suiça gelada.🇧🇷
Thanks so much for your awesome video . Your narration is so clear and not too fast. Can you tell me what dates you did this trip? We will visit in mid-June 2024, wondering if the views and amount of snow will be similar then? Much appreciated.
Hello thank for the message, so glad tou enjoyed it. We visited the last weekend in May so i would imagine your views and the amount of snow in the peaks would be the ssme 😁 have fun!
Thank you for popping up in my feed. This video is helpful! What month was this taken? Will be visiting in Sept🤩
This was the end of May last year. Have fun!
What a beautiful village. Is there also a mosque available?
Un po' di italiano finalmente vi seguiamo dal Italia ciao😅
🖐🥰
Hi dear, if you can make English sub title in smaller font in one line for reasonably small duration only instead of continuously long time , video will be more enjoyable.
I think my ears are damaged by the train brake squealing....apart from that, nice travel guide.
Try being on the train! They do squeal quite badly which is a shame.
Wow beautiful Town and an expensive Town 😂
Been there done that….
Where do you eat ?
Tons on restaurants but due to the high costs we self catered.
Finalmente qualcuno ci ha pensato😢
🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🕯️🕯️🎄☘️
Another overestimated place in the sad Swiss region. My personal opinion. Don't waste your time and money there.
U need to get to the nature and not the touristic destination in the city
I never said before that this is a nice little town with no village
