the ah ah ah, ah oh, the ah, i'm almost there. all that's left is this mountain past. this time i'm going to be pretty high up in the anger the. that's a valley in the swiss alps and it's my very 1st time

winter always arrives a little earlier in the year here. the mountains in the in the are already covered with no lakes located about 1800 meters above sea level. have not yet frozen over. ah, my destination is st. moore, it's a place that stands for winter tourism like no other it's pretty cold up here in the end of the in and in order to warm up every now and then i have planned some activities. all variations of winter sports on the slopes, on the cross country ski run and on a bike. i also want to find out how and why tourists have discovered the dean in switzerland. i even german philosopher really need to love to get away from it all in the in getting ah,

because we are in switzerland. we just have to show you one of its most famous landmarks, the motto, home, and of sample. some local specialties like anger, the nut, cake, and cheese fondue. st lawrence used to be a simple firming village, but to date you see massive hotels and shop windows with luxury items. it is still pretty quiet before the destinations peak season. tour guide susie v placed, the guy explained to me that winter tourism was the result of a bet between the hotel owner johan spotwood and a group of 4 summer travelers from england. and that he made a bet with the english guests, and he said, come to saint moritz and the winter. and if you don't like it, if i pay for your trip from london to saint moritz and back and if you like it, you can stay at my hotel for free as long as it's like that he won the bet. yes,

young and they had to pay besides. as a result, saint moritz became a popular travel destination in winter time, 25 luxury hotels are spread across the alpine resort, which is home to about 5000 residence. susie shows me one of the oldest preserved houses, a typical anger, the farm house, from $1658.00 owned dollars. i'll explain the architecture a bit more about years. the traditional houses were built with really thick walls to take out the cold it. and you can see that the windows are set back slightly. why don't we keep the warmth inside glass and yet still allow sufficient daylight in? and then i have individual windows that haven't rates in front of them before they have proof that the saracens were here. if you go to an arab country like morocco or tenicia to day, you'll see filigree window greats like this everywhere. oh,

by the way, there is also a leaning tower in saint moritz, the remnant of the st. maricia church stance on an unstable slope and has to be secured again and again. saint moritz consists of 2 districts. and escalator takes you comfortably from xact, wheat stove, or village down to exact lead spot or spot. on the walls, you can see photos with motifs from winter sports history. international

competitions take place in this with mountain town regularly. ah. even the saint moritz lake is used in winter for a rather unusual event. a portable tournament who and this lake is guaranteed to be frozen over every year so that horses can walk on it. yes, yes. in december we need about a rank of minus 30 degrees temperatures every night. ideally without any wind and then it freezes over nicely and it'll be covered in about a half meter to one meter of snow. the ice isn't too slippery since there snow on top of it so far. it's always been cold enough like to day it's quite braces, shut. your eyes are tearing up from the cold. oh good. well,

i will. thank you very much for taking the time to day and also my pleasure. come back any time. well i noticed st more it is a pretty cold place in winter. so exercise is required. and right now i'm going cross country ski ish named it as there's the slightest look of it 1st. i'm going to take your poles away so we can start off together. turning on here in switzerland, we say that every one always has a chocolate foot. they might one that's a bit better than the other. well, which is yours. okay, this is done shy to say the right one, the register in the right one it and then we'll put on your left ski or. okay, so that is now your more or less fully attached it or the he'll remains free in cross country skiing, but i am long louthan. oh boy you careful with the extended legs. yeah,

i do. okay. those right side, her bend your knee and ankle again and then let yourself fall forward like a board on to the left ski from g r. a left is the hardest. this law again or bend down on the right. look ahead, a 4 and let yourself all 4 were of all and loss. very good, that's cavity. now i'll give you these 2 rings to hold, and you'll keep looking ahead, horner on then when the left he moves forward called the right hand, comes up or does that so can you take really small steps at fur? i'm none. should it then level been lifted and diverse her firmly. ah ah, ah, my ha month if you for me,

i don't understand why this is so difficult of all i have to do is stand my lame a bonfire. me! oh job, this must look totally stupid. very nice with after i finally get going, i can't help but challenge hines. i look through how belen races, but technically i get with

the trail also serves as a training route for a young athletes. this is so it filthy. i'm sweating so much that my clothes are soaked but once you get the hang of it, it's a ton of fun gliding over the snow, especially with a backdrop like this. ah, i like both old back. later i'll hit the downhill slopes, but 1st it's time for

a break and some refreshments. the anger dean is also renowned for its sweet treats the master, confectioners, from the dean, have made a name for themselves as far as venice. i try a piece of the famous anger, the nut cake. it's made out of short crust pastry and filled with roughly chopped caramel lies. walnuts. i it's very tasty in the perfect way to refuel the oh. all right, before i go ski, let me show you a swiss national symbol the matter on one of the most famous mountains in the world

. i. 6 with its striking summits, the matter horn has long been a symbol of switzerland and the power of nature in previously considered unconquerable due to its menacing heights and danger slopes. the mountain has claimed the lives of many climbers. the 1st assents was finally made an 18. 65, that history is documented. here at the mac horn museum in zermatt, at the foot of the mountain museum director eddie schmid tells her the climb of match. a horn pioneer edward whimper, entered and disaster. when 4 members of his team, including mountaineer, michel croz, fell to their debts the import, walter, onboarding when fur was determined to be the 1st to reach the top from side lot,

he detached himself from the route and arrived 1st as while fisher. i was certainly a triumphant mountaineering career, it perched i get it, but during the senate option, the 7 years became for tragic heroes that argues she held because you might assume short to days before the occurred and that split 2nd instantly catapulted on these in the me heroes form held dead men soon. porton him, that was incredibly bitter. and for sa, gone on t as while on gulping bitter and possibly negligent too, since the ambitious whimper was alleged, to have cut the rope, that would have secured michelle cross them on it's, i'm putting one on one together. you could deduce that whimper, color routine to get past quotes or one girl for bite to call that he never admitted it. it had this need, so good game. that's triumphant tragedy was later portrayed in several films, including the mountain calls,

which can also be seen at the museum. ah, along with st words, zer mats is among switzerland's most famous vacation destinations in winter time. even if it's striking mountain peak isn't always visible. for serena fish for tail, if autumn it has a very special shape. and the concord if as a famous french mountain climber, one said stuart, if a child had to draw a mountain and it would probably wind up resembling the matter horn, that that's washing. so sidney, that's not the road sometimes it's shrouded in snow. with the times it's visible from miles away. but to matter horns mystique draws visitors in time and time again. ah, to now my sites are

set high to the of when it's a is the name of a ski area near saint moritz. with a water view man, lean us, your mountains, hunger. that's then we're going to an altitude of almost 3000 meters. and because i don't have a lot of experience lenise my ski instructor, it should help me on the slopes. i'm helping fly more. definitely looking forward to today. i've been skiing twice before in my life, but i'm anything but a professional. so if you show me some tricks, i'd be very grateful and then there's a few been twice. the 3rd time's the charm and the weather's birth. it wasn't a bad thought.

i thought back, i want to take it slow. at 1st. the snow plow technique will check and up again. lina, this technique looks a bit more elegant. lucas shower her, faked where's the applause? lina, c noise. now here comes the crowd called 1st when it gets a little steeper, i have to put in a lot of effort and i'm glad when i make it down safely.

pedal lenise. what do you say? what grade would you give me for today? to me again for the north and talk to them, i thought for to dia, give you a b. you did very well, and that was a tough star. i really, i'm really good how to start. thank you. or if you are a benevolent teacher i've, i've that resume until next time, when i'm not till next time. ah, i found this exhausting while the others make it look so easy. to me as a beginner fear and fun is pretty close to each other. but this is what makes it challenging. anyway,

i won't be the king of love today. ah, you cannot only go skiing here. you also have a great view. ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, my next stop takes me away from the slopes to a neighboring town of the more cosmic politan saint moritz. everything here is

a bit more rustic. ah, it's pretty deserted here. got the old place to myself. ah, this is maria and the neighboring lake foods have fascinated travellers over decades. the german philosopher freely meet you, for example, was often here this is the place where the famous need. she used to walk around here. you could let his thoughts run free. ah,

i really need to came to the navea regularly in the 800 eighty's and this is where he stayed. the house was converted and opened as a museum in 1960 unlike me, however, neat. it was only here in summer cuff, i'm busy. this is the room. he actually stated, i'm allowed in yes, of the 5. yes. we'll make an exception for you. as you can see, it's quite a simple room and i'm for home. but over there this was niches you what we see out there is what he saw then at almost been up. yeah. a lot on his. yes,

on that house was already there. you know, and, and there was a path up into the woods on, on each a love to taking walks. and that's evident it through his works when dust in, thus spoke zarathustra. there's this beautiful notion directly linking physical movement with spiritual freedom and guys zarathustra once said, have been, i learned to walk in my since then have i let myself run in? so let's go run and be free. the flow from the, from the pilot, ah, leaches salt and found peace and relaxation in the anger. dean. the mountain air was also good for his ailing health. ah, but above all, he probably appreciated the solitude after his time as a student in bun or as a professor and bother vibe, isn't it actually typical of nature to i wasn't really a people person when he had few close friends. but when he went to bon,

he tried to make some of the files for peer. incidentally, he gave up his prussian citizenship and used a swiss passport to travel. at 1779, he came to anchor dean for the 1st time to st more. it's a guy and was enraptured by the air for the landscape and the tensions and the landscape. these contradictions attracted him home. i'm high valley that leads to a mountain pass and it than the glaciers and opening to the south of north from suton, him and in $1889.00 nita suffered a nervous breakdown on a trip to italy. he was brought to germany by his sister and never came back to the anger dean. the router wouldn't each feel that we're here talking about him with everything displayed this wasted your eyes lava ever. i think he would enjoy the fact that people had finally taken note of him, because that wasn't the case during his lifetime, not after it though. spokes are

a thorough stroke. he didn't own a cent from his writings. if a d a lived very frugally in order to have enough money to print his books and close to the end of his life, he said, i think my day won't come until the day after to morrow. he mentioned that some people, her board post humorously signed the monday for campus nym. ah, this is santiago, he's originally from, but they're gonna, but has lived and worked in saint moritz for many years. as a ski instructor at mountain bike guide, i go on a tour with him followed by fondue. this is my final activity on my trip to the anger the and also a great way to experience the natural landscape. first, stop, that's

a lake. it's even frozen over versus what special about the anger, the, and for you personally, i'm in the it's hard to say, but every things is, every thing not to the nature. ah, the gastronomy is greater than those the ambient and i'm coming to nga. dean is like entering another world is on that event would get the cold doesn't bother you at all. i know. are you cold his record yet? no, i'm warm, shall we continue with the highlight of the tour? it's cycling through the dark. ah and of course the

reward that waits us with more wonder show us that the phone do is calling ah ah, with san diego, how does it work be from janelle brought put a few pieces of bread on your plate that stab one with your fork. ah yeah, well i just don't get with

bon appetite with ready for the next one. but for live you lose your bread. you have to do the washing up on the rush. okay. so with, if you really want to get moving in winter, the angle dean is the perfect travel destination for you. but there's not only winter sports action here. that's also something that's increasingly difficult to find to day peace and remoteness by cnx that ah ah ah, ah
