00:00Water curves like a line on the chest of the mountains.
00:28Every drop falling from on high is the beginning of a story.
00:33Mist envelops the valleys. Light touches the stones.
00:38The wind stops for a moment, then blows again.
00:43When viewed from the sky, the world tells a completely different story.
00:49Every curve, every shadow, every sparkle.
00:53A country lives not only on maps, but also in the moments that leave their mark.
01:00Time doesn't rush here, but it doesn't stop either.
01:05Switzerland is a place that is seen not only with the eyes, but also with the heart.
01:11In this documentary, we will watch the patience of the stone, the journey of water and the silent harmony of nature.
01:19If you are ready, let's get started.
01:26There is a valley in the middle of the Alps where time not only flows but also flows like a dream.
01:37The Lauterbrunnen Valley is a miracle sandwiched between two giant rock walls.
01:43When viewed from above, this place resembles the mountain villages drawn by a child in his notebook, and it is too beautiful to be true.
01:56The river running through the valley meanders like a silver ribbon, while the huts lined up around it seem as if they have maintained the same silence for a century.
02:06The most striking thing is the waterfalls.
02:12The Staubach Waterfall in particular flows down from a height of over 300 metres like a thin curtain, resembling tulle.
02:26As the waterfall falls, it meets the air, evaporates, and rains down again.
02:32This is not just a valley, it is a poem that nature has written in its own heart.
02:41The view that emerges when the fog that covers the valley in the morning slowly disperses with the sun is breathtaking.
02:53Every step is breathtaking.
02:56With every step, the scent of damp earth mixed with the scent of flowers hits your nose.
03:06Snow-capped peaks on one side, a thousand shades of green on the other.
03:16Lauterbrunnen is a place that is seen not only with the eye, but also with the heart.
03:21And as we set out from this valley, we must lift our eyes upward.
03:26Because the next stop is the symbol of Switzerland written in the sky.
03:31Zermat and the Matterhorn.
03:39If a mountain is the pride of a self-respecting people, the Matterhorn is the silent,
03:45The town of Zermat is one of the rare places that has managed to live in harmony with nature right at the foot of this iconic peak.
03:58As you walk along its traffic-free streets, the spire of the Matterhorn looms over every corner.
04:06At night, in the moonlight, the mountain's shadow falls on the buildings.
04:14In the morning, the sun hits the peak first.
04:18It shines like a golden crown.
04:24Reaches a unique peak of the Matterhorn.
04:27The Matterhorn's unique triangular shape has made it one of the most photographed mountains in the world.
04:38But photos are not enough to describe this place.
04:41Because what you feel in Zermat is more than just looking at a mountain.
04:46This is a bond.
04:47As you go up by train or cable car, the world below becomes smaller, but the feelings in your heart grow larger.
04:59As you walk along the snow-covered slopes, the silence is so deep that even your heartbeat echoes.
05:06Zermat is not just for skiing, it is also an experience that shows how humble one can be when faced with the magnificence of nature.
05:18The Matterhorn reaches a peak that can never be completely conquered.
05:23Zermat reaches a unique peak.
05:27Zermat reaches a unique peak.
05:30Zermat reaches a unique peak.
05:33Zermat reaches a unique peak.
05:36Zermat reaches a unique peak.
05:38Zermat reaches a unique peak.
05:40Zermat reaches a unique peak.
05:42Zermat reaches a unique peak.
05:44Zermat reaches a unique peak.
05:46Zermat reaches a unique peak.
05:48Zermat reaches a unique peak.
05:50Zermat reaches a unique peak.

05:54Zermat reaches a unique peak.
05:56Zermat reaches a unique peak.
05:58ZERMAT'S LOVER
06:06There is such a lake in the lap of the Alps,
06:08It contains the quietest shade of blue.
06:10It contains the quietest shade of blue.
06:14That lake of your wife,
06:16Above Canderstik,
06:18It is like a gem hidden among steep cliffs.
06:20This is a place that should be explored not only with your eyes but also with your inner voice.
06:30You feel the silence so intensely that even the circular echoes of a stone thrown into the water seem to disrupt the line of time.
06:43The color of the lake is like a physical manifestation of admiration for nature.
06:53The waters that are drained by melting glaciers have no limits in clarity.
07:01As you walk on the grass on its shore, you feel the softness of the soil with every step.
07:10In summer, the scent of mountain flowers mixes with the surface of the lake with the wind.
07:19Time slows down here, people speak in whispers, even children laugh quietly.
07:30That Eşinen lake is not only a natural wonder, but also a place where the mind rests and the soul is silent.
07:40At sunset, the sun hits the rocks and paints the lake orange, sinking slowly as if completing a painting.
07:53And now we are leaving this silent blue and heading to Blousie to dive into nature's most elegant tale.
08:06Sometimes giant mountains and sometimes a tiny lake tell what nature wants to tell people.
08:15Blousie is a miracle of precisely this second kind.
08:22It fascinates not with its size but with its emotion.
08:27Its deep blue water is so clear that the stones and moss at the bottom seem as if they are right under your hand, rather than behind glass.
08:41While walking around this lake, one feels like floating rather than walking.
08:47According to legend, Blousie was formed from the tears of a girl who lost the young man she loved.
08:54The blue of the lake is the color of these tears.
09:03Maybe that's why there is a deep sadness hidden in the water.
09:17The pine trees around him lean over the lake and seem to console him.
09:27The sky reflected in the water turns into a painting that moves with the wind.
09:36People don't want to talk here.
09:39He just wants to walk, just to look, just to feel.
09:47All the voices of time are silenced in this lake.
09:55And now, it is time to leave the silent dance of blue and green and step into a pure white silence.
10:02We are going to Aleç Glacier.
10:09Some places cannot be described, they must be stopped and listened to.
10:13Aleç Glacier is one of them.
10:17This gigantic white river, the largest glacier in Europe, is not just a natural phenomenon, but time itself.
10:29Every crack that seeps through the ice carries a whisper from thousands of years ago.
10:35This mass, winding between the mountains, silently reminds us of the smallness of man and the enormousness of nature.
10:52When you look down from the summit, what you see is not just a view, it is history itself.
11:06The whiteness that stretches as far as the eye can see sometimes dazzles the eyes, sometimes makes the heart tremble.
11:17Every step you take here could be passing over a snowflake that fell millions of years ago.
11:25The subtle crackling sounds coming from the ice under your feet as you walk are like the inner voice of the world.
11:37Aleç is an epic that nature tells to humans in its purest form.
11:46After seeing this glacier, one feels a little emptier, a little lighter.
11:54And with this lightness, we now go to see another form of water, the Rhine Falls, the largest waterfall in Europe.
12:10Rhine Falls is not only the tranquility of the water, it is also a waterfall.
12:17Located near Schaffhausen in northern Switzerland, this magnificent natural wonder is the largest waterfall in Europe by volume and has represented the tenacity and patience of water for centuries.
12:30When you arrive here, the first thing you feel is not the view,
12:35This has represented the determination and patience of water for centuries.
12:39When you arrive here, the first thing you feel is not the view,
12:41This has represented the determination and patience of water for centuries.
12:43When you arrive here, the first thing you feel is not the view,
12:46This has represented the determination and patience of water for centuries.
12:48As the water falls from a great height, it roars like anger that echoes in your ears.
12:55This sound is like an anthem where the past and nature shout together.
13:02The observation terraces built on the waterfall were built to reach the heart of the water.
13:10When you get there, water droplets flying towards you hit your skin,
13:16All the silence within you is broken.
13:22This is not just a waterfall, it is the debingen face of nature.
13:29With the rising water level in summer, an overflowing excitement surrounds this place.
13:35Rain, fed by the melting snow in the spring, vents its anger here but also causes as much death to the surroundings.
13:45Approaching the bottom of the waterfall by boat is another way of facing the water.
13:53You approach despite the risk of getting wet at any moment.
13:56Because sometimes watching nature from afar is not enough.
13:59One of the peaks where height and view reign supreme awaits us.
14:12If there is one place where nothing comes between you and nature, where sometimes even the ground disappears from under your feet, it is Grindelwald First.
14:22This peak fascinates not only with its height but also with the feelings it gives you.
14:33As you ride the cable car up from the town of Grindelwald, the world outside your window slowly shrinks.
14:40The valleys get deeper, the mountains get closer.
14:44And finally, when you reach the top, you are no longer just high, you are beyond a threshold.
15:00The First Cliff Walk combines adrenaline and awe.
15:04A glass walking platform invites you to test the void.
15:08When you look down the depths are chilling, but when you look up the sky feels closer than ever.
15:21The weather is different here.
15:23It keeps your skin from burning.
15:25Each hiking route is like a poem extending into the heart of the mountains.
15:34Mountain goats sometimes wink from afar, and alpine flowers color the paths.
15:40The subtle vibration of the summit isolates you from daily life for a while.
16:01That subtle vibration becomes a poem from among the celebrated stars.
16:05It is as if you have ascended inward, not upward.
16:09And that's why FIRST is not just a physical journey, it's an inner one.
16:19After this ascent, we embark on a slightly more introspective exploration.
16:23Bachalpsee awaits you, where you will find yourself in the silent reflection of the mountains.
16:29To reach Bachalpsee, you must first learn to walk, then learn to be silent.
16:38The trail starting from Grindelwald FIRST is a nature ritual that lasts several kilometers.
16:44This path is a nature ritual that lasts several kilometers.
16:48This path is a nature ritual that lasts several kilometers.
16:52A nature ritual that lasts several kilometers.
16:55You gradually ascend, then descend into a small valley.
17:01You gradually ascend, then descend into a small valley.
17:08And then the lake suddenly appears before you.
17:11Quiet, still, and completely at peace.
17:18Bachalpsee is like the sky reflected on the ground.
17:23The water is so still that you can't bear to disturb its reflection.
17:30Giant mountains such as the Eiger and the Wetterhorn take on a second life in the lake.
17:38While watching this view, time does not stop but acts as if it is waiting for you.
17:46The people sitting around him do not speak, they just look.
17:51Because words are unnecessary here.
17:57The waves move with the gentle sound of the wind.
18:00Bird calls echo off the water surface.
18:03Here nature whispers the secret of self-sufficiency.
18:10As you walk around the lake, everything seems to move in slow motion.
18:15With each step your heart beats a little slower.
18:22It is not only the clouds but also the human mind that bathes in this lake.
18:32Bachalpsee is a visual representation of purification.
18:36And with this purification we proceed to another stop, Schinikplatte.
18:43It is a melodic continuation of this peace.
18:52Some peaks can be reached by train.
18:54But the journey to Schinikplatte is much more than just a means of transportation.
19:01The old mountain railway that winds slowly between Grindelwald and Interlaken,
19:07It takes you not to a peak, but to the essence of nature.
19:12With its wooden interior, small glass windows and engine sounds mixed with steam,
19:18This train creates the feeling of time travel.
19:23When you reach the top, the panorama takes your breath away for a moment.
19:27Below are two blue lakes, above are the snowy peaks of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau.
19:38In between, there is just you and endless silence.
19:43The Alpine garden reveals the richness of the region's plants,
19:48Walking paths take people not just to places, but to the depth of emotions.
19:56Here the sound of the wind is like music.
20:01As it passes through the mountains, it turns into a melodic hum.
20:05Sometimes subtle like a flute, sometimes powerful like a drum.
20:12Every stone, every blade of grass, every bird is a part of this orchestra.
20:20Scheinig Platz is not just a place to look at either.
20:23It is a being that is listened to, felt, and absorbed.
20:32There are some lakes.
20:34They are engraved in the memory not only with their beauty but also with the emotion they carry.
20:39Lake Brienz is exactly such a place.
20:44This lake is spread out at the foot of the mountains, east of Interlaken.
20:48It looks almost like a dream with its unique turquoise color.
20:55The surface of the water is so clear that time is reflected there.
21:03The light that settled over the lake in the morning hours,
21:06Combined with the shadow of the mountains, it transforms the landscape into a painting.
21:14The town of Brienz lies along the coast,
21:16with its traditional wooden houses and flower-decorated windows
21:20It almost mirrors the lake.
21:26What you feel while walking here is not silence, but peace itself.
21:36Boats gliding on the lake, with their slow movements carrying the elegance of old times
21:41They don't just cut water, they dance with it.
21:49In the summer, those who walk by the water dip their feet into the lake and become one with nature.
21:59The surroundings of Lake Brienz impress not only with their beauty but also with their simplicity.
22:07The lake draws you in as you look at it, and silences you as you speak.
22:16And now, turning a little further west from this turquoise dream,
22:20We are going to another lake where history and nature are intertwined.
22:30After the introverted peace of Brienz, Lake Town,
22:33offers a more extroverted but equally impressive experience.
22:39This large lake, located west of Interlaken, is surrounded by castles,
22:44It is like an encyclopedia page of Switzerland with its small villages and mountain landscapes.
22:53The water is a lighter blue here, and the shore is lined with history.
22:58Tun Town bears the lake's name, and Tun Castle greets the lake from a high point on its shore.
23:07The silhouette of the castle falling into the lake at sunset creates a bridge between the past and the present.
23:16Walking on the piers along the lake is not just about taking steps, it is about keeping up with the flow of nature.
23:22In the summer months, as sailboats glide over the lake, the cool breeze touches your face.
23:30Lake Town also has a strong harmony with the surrounding mountains.
23:39The iconic triangular silhouette of Mount Nisen adds dramatic depth to the lake view.
23:45Shadows hovering over the water redefine the lake at all times of the day.
24:00After such an elegant reflection, we now move on to a slightly more dramatic, slightly steeper natural formation.
24:07At first glance, a hand-carved stone looks like a half-ring.
24:15But Crow Wall is not just a geographical formation, it is a gigantic sculpture patiently shaped by nature.
24:25Red lights, cartoons, cartoons...
24:29Crow Wall is not just a geographical formation, but a gigantic sculpture patiently shaped by nature.
24:38Located in the Canton of Le Chatel, this rock amphitheatre both fascinates and humbles you with its 400-metre-high steep walls.
24:50When you climb here, you see not only the view but also the emptiness within you.
24:59The forest roads in the village are quiet, because in this arena of nature where even the wind echoes, sound must be used with caution.
25:10While wild goats roam the steep cliffs, you just stand and watch.
25:18As you approach the edge of a cliff, your instincts urge you to either approach or flee.
25:25This is a primitive balance story that nature tells to humans.
25:32When you stand on top of Crow Wall, what you will see is not just a rock wall, but a trace shaped by time.
25:43Every rock crack, every piece of moss carries the patient but stubborn touch of nature.
25:49This is not the peak of a mountain, but the peak of nature's patience.
25:56And now, from this depth, we head down to a hidden but impressive curtain in a valley.
26:09The water that falls closest to the sky in the Lothar Brunnen Valley,
26:13It is undoubtedly the Staubach Falls.
26:17This delicate waterfall flows down from hundreds of meters high,
26:22displays water in its most elegant form.
26:26The word waterfall is inadequate here.
26:29Because water does not fall here, it filters down, almost dancing in the air.
26:35Water from the sky combined with sunlight,
26:38It's like dancing in the air.
26:41When combined with sunlight it turns into a rainbow, and when blown by the wind it looks like a ghost.
26:49As you approach this waterfall, you will encounter steam instead of sound.
26:55Water dissolves in the air before reaching the ground.
26:58This delicate curtain, flowing down the mountainside, gives the valley a melancholy grace.
27:05It is not for nothing that it has been a popular destination for romantic poets, painters and dreamers.
27:13When you sit directly below the Staubach Falls and look up, a dizzying height envelops you.
27:21But you also feel a sense of lightness.
27:29This contradiction is the essence of this place.
27:35A place of lightness and beauty combined with height.
27:43This 8-hour journey from Zermat to St. Moritz is much more than an ordinary train journey.
27:53The train travels through narrow valleys, vast glacial plains, stone bridges and winding mountain passes, telling a new story at every turn.
28:05What you see when you look out the window is not a landscape, but a living organism.
28:14With its huge windows, the train does not offer the passenger a frame, but includes them in the landscape itself.
28:24The silence inside is like respect for the beauty outside.
28:29As the rails slowly turn, suddenly you come across a viaduct, followed by a tunnel, then a glacier.
28:40Along the way, you pass by hundreds of landscapes, large and small, but no two are the same.
28:50Inside this train, you forget about the ticking of the clock because nature slows down time here.
28:59The wind changes direction, light hits the mountainside, a village appears, a waterfall disappears.
29:09Everything flows, but nothing feels like it has passed.
29:17Glacier Express is etched in your heart, not your eyes.
29:29And one of the places that most accompanies this memory is a structure that is etched in memories with its curved bridge.
29:47Vineyards usually evoke fertility, but in Lavaux this fertility also translates into serenity.
29:55These terraced vineyards, stretching for kilometers along the shores of Lake Geneva, are a symbol not only of wine production, but also of the harmony of human labor and nature.
30:07The terraces, woven like lace into the slopes, seem to have understood both the sun and the wind for centuries.
30:18Walking here is like hearing the pulse of the earth.
30:24Paths winding through the vines slope gently towards the lake.
30:31As the sun reflects off the surface of the water and warms the grapes, this green belt between the sky and the lake appears like a tapestry.
30:43With every step you feel the agricultural wisdom of the past and the bounty of nature.
30:49Lava room, it is not only the view that catches your eye, but also the trace of the past.
30:57The grapes grown in the vineyards shaded by monasteries have been dried by the same wind for centuries.
31:05These vineyards store memory, not wine.
31:08And after this peaceful journey, it is time to encounter the slightly more introverted, slightly more traditional side of nature.
31:18We are descending to Appenzel, which carries the most colorful spirit of Switzerland.
31:30It may not be the first place that comes to mind when you think of Switzerland, but Appenzeller is a place that once seen, is far from being seen.
31:38He has an unforgettable spirit.
31:42This small town hidden among the mountains is a cultural time capsule with its colorful wooden houses, busy streets and deep-rooted traditions.
31:55As you walk around the centre of Appenzel, the colourful ornaments and historical figures on the house facades immediately catch your eye.
32:03Each house tells a story.
32:07Some celebrate births, some remind us of storms.
32:11Here, time doesn't just pass, it accumulates memories.
32:17The surroundings of the town are a paradise for hikers.
32:21The green hills echo with the sound of traditional bells.
32:24When spring comes, the flowers blooming in the meadows are so colorful that they rival the sky.
32:33People greet each other with a smile.
32:36Because hospitality is still sacred here.
32:41Contrary to the modern face of Switzerland, Appenzel is a region nourished by tradition.
32:48Festivals, costumes, centuries-old songs still live on.
32:52After this unique harmony between nature and culture, it is time to go a little higher.
33:00Both geographically and spiritually.
33:04Because S.A.L.P.S. is waiting for you.
33:15There is a reason why Mount Rigi is called the queen of mountains.
33:19Because this is not just a summit, it is a unique viewing point surrounded by lakes on all sides.
33:28Lake Luzen, Lake Zug and Lake Lauers lie like a blue circle at the foot of the Rigi.
33:38Being on top of this mountain in the early morning is like watching the earth awakening from above.
33:44As the sun slowly rises from the horizon, the mist lifts from the lakes and the valleys become colourful.
33:53When you look at this view, you run out of words.
34:00Reaching Rigi is an experience in itself.
34:03One of Europe's oldest cogwheel railways still runs here, where history and nature come together.
34:13The walking paths at the summit will not only take your feet but also your thoughts on the trail.
34:22The walking paths at the summit will not only take your feet but also your thoughts on the trail.
34:34As you walk here, the sky seems closer to you and the world seems a little calmer.
34:43With every step, the sound of the wind whispers into your ear.
34:47Slow down, just look.
34:51And just in this serenity, if a spark of curiosity arises within you, another magnificent peak of Lucerne begins to beckon.
35:03Mount Pilate
35:06Mount Pilatus awaits you, along with its mythological stories.
35:17Mount Pilate rises not only with its nature but also with the stories it carries.
35:23Rising in all its glory just behind the city of Lucerne, this mountain has been associated with dragons, ghosts and ancient kings for centuries.
35:36So when you go up here, you are not just standing in the middle of a landscape, but in the middle of a legend.
35:44As you climb the world's steepest cogwheel train, you ascend between sheer cliffs and above valleys and forests.
35:55At the top, a truly stunning panorama greets you.
36:02The curves of Lake Lucerne, the distant Alpine ranges, the Vosges Mountains visible on clear weather, all come together here.
36:14Walking on Pilate's peak is like hearing the stones whispering from the past.
36:20The coolness carried by the wind makes you feel like you are part of a different legend with every step you take.
36:27The sky is bluer here, the rock is older, the air is denser.
36:34And as you leave Pilate behind you, a desire arises within you to pass on to a higher world.
36:41Now we are climbing towards the highest train station in Europe.
36:52Europe's highest railway station is located here, at over 3,500 metres, where thick layers of ice and strong winds prevail.
37:02Halfway between the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau peaks, this is one of the steps closest to the sky.
37:12As you go up by train, you pass through tunnels. Then suddenly a dazzling whiteness appears.
37:21When you look out the station window, you see the Aleç Glacier stretching into infinity.
37:27This is a place where nature removes all filters. It is real, simple and striking.
37:36The first feeling on your face when you step outside is not the cold of the wind, but the weight of silence.
37:45This place is not only high, it is introverted.
37:50Everything is leaning.
37:52Everything moves slowly: your breathing, your gaze, your thoughts.
37:59At the Jungfraujoch one learns to appreciate the greatness of nature, not one's own smallness.
38:11And when you start descending from this peak, your route will lead to wide mountain roads.
38:17You head towards the Susten Pass, which winds between the rugged rocks and stretches like a seam line opened in nature.
38:26The road is calling you.
38:34The Susten Pass is one of the most elegant lines connecting the mountains of Switzerland.
38:39Located in the Uğur Canton, this pass winds its way between steep cliffs and high peaks.
38:48In the summer months, when the snow melts and the roads open, driving through this pass is not only a means of transportation, but also a spectacle in itself.
38:58Driving through this pass is not just about transportation as you drive along the road.
39:03As you drive along the road, a different view appears at every bend.
39:09On one side, glacial streams, on the other side, pine trees scattered in the valleys.
39:16At each turn, a new curtain opens. It is as if nature is shown scene by scene in this passage.
39:25It is necessary to stop on the side of the road from time to time and watch around.
39:29Because this is not a place to quickly pass through.
39:35Once you reach the highest point of the pass, the air is thin and the wind is light.
39:42Even though silence falls among the rocks, the distant sounds of water remind you that everything is still alive.
39:52The Susten pass leads from a nature-driven path.
39:57The Susten pass is one of the most elegant encounters of nature and man-made roads.
40:10And now, after this sinuous elegance, it is time to embark on an older and more challenging route.
40:17The Gotthard pass and the Tremola road will test you with history.
40:27The Gotthard Pass is like a spine carrying Switzerland's past on its back.
40:34This ancient route, passing through the heart of the Alps, has been connecting the north and the south for centuries.
40:42But the real magic lies in the Tremola road, which runs quietly next to the modern highway.
40:48This old stone-paved road takes on a different character at every bend, as if it were crafted by centuries-old craftsmen.
40:58This narrow road, rising and falling in tight curves, forces the driver to be careful and the passenger to be amazed.
41:07The passages carved into the rocks are almost ghostly on foggy mornings.
41:12As you drive along the road, the vibration of the stones under your wheels is like an invitation from the past.
41:21Caravans passed over these stones, wars took place, hopes were carried.
41:29Today, only the wind passes by, but the stories are still there.
41:34Gotthard and Tremola are not just a transportation line, but a legacy passed down through time.
41:44And as we move away from this stony heritage, it is time to return to the purity of nature.
41:54Until the end of Tremola's centuries, while moving away from everything,
41:59The time has come to return to the purity of nature again.
42:06Some villages are not found on maps, they are felt with the soul.
42:12Gimelwald is one of Switzerland's quietest, best-kept secrets.
42:20This village, inaccessible by road on the steep slopes of the Lauterbrunnen Valley, is an island of peace isolated from the modern world.
42:30This high point, reached by cable car, seems to live in another layer of time.
42:39Stone roads, wooden houses and snowy peaks seen from every corner will take you back centuries.
42:49As you walk here, a child smiles and an old man greets you.
42:54In Gimelwald, everyone knows each other, but you won't feel like an outsider.
43:02As mountain goats graze in the meadows, the sound of bells is amplified by the echo of the mountain.
43:09When you look from the edge of the village, the depth of the valley below makes you shiver for a moment, but then the sound of the wind whispers in your ear.
43:19Don't worry, you're safe here.
43:24Gimelwald fascinates not only with its beauty but also with its simplicity.
43:32People who come here do not just come to visit, they come to remember.
43:40Slowing down, stopping, taking deep breaths.
43:45Mürren is like an eagle's nest nestled on the lip line of a mountain.
43:51This town, nestled against the steep slopes of the Lauterbrunnen Valley, looks out over the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau peaks rising above it.
44:01With its streets closed to car traffic, silence far from noise and clean air, Mürren falls from above to the world.
44:10As you pass through the town, flowers hanging from wooden balconies, the morning air smelling of milk and the sound of bells coming from afar greet you.
44:23Altitude here is not just the altitude, it is the feeling itself.
44:30Walking through Mürren, the Eiger, the Jungfrau and the bells of the Jungfrau above,
44:37When you walk in Mürren and look down from the cliff edge, your feet seem to be off the ground.
44:46A ski paradise in the winter and a hiker's route in the summer, this town shows what it means to live in harmony with nature.
44:57Life here is slow but deep. Waking up every morning looking at the mountains is a ritual that cleanses one's soul.
45:07And now we leave the heights of nature and enter one of Switzerland's most secret valleys, where stone and greenery stand side by side, where almost nothing has changed.
45:26Val Bavona is a forgotten stone valley in southern Switzerland.
45:30In the deepest corner of the Canton of Ticino, this narrow tributary branch that branches off from the Magia Valley offers one of the most untouched stretches of natural beauty.
45:43Time seems to have stopped here. There is no electricity, no asphalt roads, no people in a hurry.
45:53Just stone houses, mossy roofs and endless silence.
46:01As you walk through the valley, you will see small huts tucked under huge blocks of rock.
46:10These stones fell centuries ago, but people managed to build lives around them.
46:19Here, life takes shape with nature, not against it.
46:26Everything seems to have been built in silence.
46:31The stream by the roadside carries the sound of time as it flows among the rocks.
46:39Even the chirping of birds does not echo, it just touches your chest.
46:46When you raise your eyes to the sky, the greenery surrounding the hills is so dense that even sunlight can barely filter through.
47:01Val Bavona stands like a souvenir pulled from the edge of modernity.
47:07It is a place that nature does not forget, but protects.
47:16The Verzaska River resembles a jewel more than a river.
47:22This river in the canton of Ticino captivates your eyes at first sight with its emerald green color.
47:31Its best-known spot, Ponte dei Salti, or the Bridge of the Jumpers, completes the elegance of the water with its two-arched stone structure.
47:45When you look down from this bridge, the clarity of the water is so great that the stones underneath create the illusion of size.
47:54The bridge is surrounded by natural cliffs.
47:58During the summer months, brave young people jump from these rocks into the water, but the calmness of the river is always preserved.
48:10The current is not harsh but it is strong.
48:13Verzaska represents the graceful yet stubborn nature.
48:21Even walking in water is a ceremony of coolness in itself.
48:30The river has polished the surrounding stones, over time making them shiny and round,
48:37and did it patiently.
48:43Crossing this bridge is not just crossing a river, it is honoring the admiration for nature.
48:59In Switzerland, the natural cliffs of this river,
49:02natural cliffs of the river,
49:09The Engadin Valley lies in the deep embrace of the Alps in southeastern Switzerland.
49:15It is a geography where light and silence have lived in harmony for a long time.
49:22This place impresses not only with its view but also with its stillness.
49:27Although it contains a dazzling center like St. Moritz,
49:31The true magic of Engadin lies hidden deep within the valley.
49:38The chain of lakes in the Upper Engadin is enveloped in fog in the morning.
49:44It shines like silver under the sun at noon.
49:50Swans gliding over the water gracefully distort the reflections of the pine forests.
49:57Everything is long here.
50:00Shadows, walks, silences…
50:06The wind blows freely across the wide meadows.
50:09The small mountain houses seem to adapt to this silence.
50:15Meadows filled with flowers in summer take on golden hues in autumn.
50:21In winter, the entire valley is dominated by white.
50:25Frozen lakes attract dreamers as well as skiers.
50:32Engadin is not only the showy but also the serene and thoughtful face of nature.
50:39Time does not rush in this valley.
50:42When a person walks, he does not just move forward.
50:45He thinks, he stops, he feels.
50:50And sometimes you learn not just a landscape but a way of life here.
50:56PATH
51:04And now…
51:06As we pass through stone bridges, the cold mists on the peaks of the Alps,
51:10We leave behind the silences that multiply in the water and the steps that echo in the valleys.
51:19But the real journey begins within us, not with what we see.
51:25Switzerland didn't just show us beauty.
51:31He also whispered about how to respect time and how to live together with nature.
51:40Every lake, every valley, every peak…
51:44He said something.
51:46I hope you heard that voice too.
