Top 10 SWITZERLAND Places I traveled in 2024
Traveling across Switzerland for the past 5 years and even in 2024, there were many new places to discover! In this video, I present you the TOP 10 Switzerland places, I have visited in the year 2024. Some places might be new to you, thus, let yourself being inspired for your upcoming Switzerland trip. Lenzerheide is a Winter village in Switzerland, popular for skiing but also great for light festivals or night sledding. The Zauberwald is a light festival held within an enchanted forest full of beautifully lit up sculptures. The lightride is the real-life version of Mario kart, a colorful toboggan run and a must-try for action lovers! The Rhinefalls are among the most famous waterfalls of Switzerland. Normally during Summer, they do not have too much water, in June 2024, however, there were severe floods and the Rhinefalls were absolutely spectacular. The amount of water was absolutely incredible, which attracted numerous visitors. The Sitterschlucht in Appenzell is a secret tip on this list, a beginner’s canyoneering trail within a gorge along a calm creek. Even during peak season in Summer, the Sitterschlucht will not be full with people, thus consider going there. The exact location is on Pioneer Maps (get the “Pro” expansion). Saas-Fee/Saastal is a fantastic region for hiking, especially during Summer and Autumn. During Autumn, there will be less people but that’s just perfect to enjoy the serenity. Hiking was great at the Mattmark dam and Kreuzboden. The views were spectacular and the shine of the turquoise water stunning. A great and cost-effective place to stay is the Hotel Kristall-Saphir in Saas-Almagell (sponsored content). The 1st of August is the Swiss national day. Festivities are held everywhere, specially great however is the parade in Champéry. The festive atmosphere in the village is absolutely incredible, endlessly decorated with Swiss flags and a joyous parade crossing the village’s alley. The Schreyenbachfalls of Glarus are quite unique. Not only is it a uniquely beautiful waterfall, no, the waterfall is only visible for 45 days a year! This makes it imperative to travel to Glarus during July to see one of the most wonderful waterfalls of Switzerland. The waterfall can be combined with the scenic pass road called Klausenpass. Quite a discovery was the upper part of the Val d’Hérens. A very scenic hike from Ferpècle up to the river delta and the glaciers is one of the best secret tips for people who love it more quiet up in the Alps. A visit to this place is not only going to give you the peaceful mood, it’s also free, except for the transportation costs (fuel or bus ticket). Toggenburg is one of the most beautiful regions in all of Switzerland. I witnessed one of the most beautiful views up on the Chäserrugg and Hinterrugg, a perfect panorama with the Churfirsten, lake Walensee and the Alpstein mountains with the Säntis. Down at Unterwasser are furthermore the Thurfälle, which easily belong to Switzerland’s most beautiful waterfalls. The Lauterbrunnen without tourists can be found in Unterschächen. The valley also has plenty of waterfalls, but is considerably greener and rawer. A very scenic hike takes you through the valley along the river to the cabin station to access the Sittlisalp. This is one of the best places to be visited up on the Alps. It’s very peaceful up there, and you will be among the locals only. Please do NOT PROMOTE this place on SHORT VIDEOS, to keep the place serene. In Ticino, one can find some of the best swimming places out in the nature. There are over 100 fantastic spots to take a bath in natural pools, rivers or beneath waterfalls. These spots will be uncovered in upcoming videos for channel members.

Who will visit Switzerland THIS YEAR? 🇨🇭🙋🏻♂️
Me me me
Glad to see South African compatriots had an awesome visit to Suisse with you! I won’t be able to come home this year, we will be going to Japan end September. I will never ever again say visiting Suisse is expensive paying in ZAR, the Japan trip prep is topping Suisse😂 At least I know I will be able to watch your channel to keep the missing Suisse at bay . Glad Ticino made nr 1! 🙌 Save travels this year, Djemo!
Thank you for your 2024 Top Ten destinations in beautiful, pristine & amazing Switzerland. Have a great weekend Djemo.
Happy 2025 Djemo! And thanks for your videos. Your videos really helped me to plan a trip to Switzerland last October and visit places in and around Engadin (Silsersee, Palpuognasee, Lago di Saoseo) that you had recommended in multiple of your videos regarding best places to visit in Switzerland in autumn. I also went to some places in Ticino (like the Valle Verzasca, which was really nice!) and, before going back to home to The Netherlands, to the Rhine Falls. So keep on doing what you're doing and hopefully I'll be able to visit some really beautiful places in Switserland either this year or next year again!
Thank you for this lovely video, Djemo! Of course I liked all the places, but what resulted my favourites are No 10, 4 and 2. Nice to see Ryan Shirley as well! I like his videos very much.
Hallo Djemo, du verzauberst mich immer wieder mit deinen grandiosen Filmen über die schöni Schwiiz, mercie vielmohl. Au dir äs ganz guetis 2025, liebi Grüss, Diana
Great video. I couldn't have done better!!!😊😊😊
This is such a lovely list.
Though I wonder why do people call the waterfalls of Lauterbrunnen powerful … for eg the Staubifall in Uri is so much more majestic and underrated .
Thank you for the great tips. We are just planning another slow tour of Switzerland. This time we will spend maybe 2 weeks in Ticino and a full week maybe Saas-Fee for the walks.
WoW! That’s Brilliantly Awesome!
I Loved it!
Happy Weekend! 🫶🏻🤩❤️✨
Thank you very much for posting this. Yes, I am inspired with so much to choose. I look forward to doing some walking/hiking in peace and scenery, as well as enjoying great food and people
Unfortunately from the looks of it, some of these places are just either unreachable via trains or quite complicated to squeeze in our itinerary
