02.03.22 | I've been around the Interlaken area and it was pretty beautiful, might be a bit boring for u compared to that heli run but there's a train going up the mountain and the landscape is p sweet.
Also drove from Geneva through Lausanne to that region bute and the gf were too stoned to remember anything. |
Deez
02.03.22 | hahah Id imagine being hammered would be IDEAL going through that landscape but then theres that otherside I guess and not remembering shit!
Im actually in. interlakken for like 2 days i think, gonna try see the lakes and stuff quick stops either side and down a bit to Lauterbrunnen which always looked like a mad little made up fairy land when I saw vids. Slowly building up to the Alps |
Dewinged
02.03.22 | That's the stuff!! It really looked a bit unreal in the best possible way. Hope you enjoy it man. |
Deez
02.03.22 | Cheers mate! Yeah, like I always planned to go but every time , the expense just put me off when I can go to asia for a few months instead but with the last 2 years and the lack of gigs in my time off this year I thought 'fk it treat yaself' |
SitarHero
02.03.22 | Noice! I lived in Geneva for a year and I sometimes miss it. It was the most uncomfortably hot summer of my life though. Super ironic given that I grew up in India. |
Deez
02.04.22 | 2 extremes right there. Man I never made it to India now I'm too old for anything super hectic, that goes for most of Africa too, although I'll probably go Rwanda in December to see the mountain gorillas |
SitarHero
02.04.22 | There are some beautiful and tourist-friendly parts of India you could still go to like the coast and backwaters of Kerala, or the beaches of Goa, that probably won't be overwhelming. But yeah, it wouldn't be a really "authentic" experience if that's what you like.
I've only been to Kenya and Egypt in Africa, and Egypt was just as overwhelming as India can be, but Kenya was a much different experience. |
Deez
02.04.22 | Yeah goa definitely isn't for me. Not my thing at all. My friends actually got drugged there (2 girls) and the bar where all in on it, some Eastern European guys loitering waiting for them to pass out not realising they were hardcore and could take their drugs and knew what was happening and to get home! , my younger backpack days I could deal with the more chaotic but heard Egypt is just crazy for being hassled ,grabbed etc etc
Would like Kenya , definitely. |
SitarHero
02.04.22 | Yikes that's awful! Glad they got out of it. Goa is supposedly largely run by the Russian mafia so it can be pretty shady, although the shady shit's also avoidable if you're just looking for a mellow beachside vacation. |

02.04.22 | My wife went a couple of years ago to Switzerland and she said it's her most favourite place she's ever been to |
Purpl3Spartan
02.04.22 | TIL there’s the Russian mafia in India |
RogueNine
02.04.22 | Went through Switzerland on a train once, very pretty. Spent a ton of money on fast food in Zurich and it was worth it. |
dedex
02.04.22 | my parents live near Geneva, beautiful fucking region with all the lakes'n'mountains
there are tons of cute lil villages, I especially love Yvoire |
JesperL
02.04.22 | oh hey time to claim my swiss half
grindelwald is my absolute fav place on earth, it's so damn beautiful. bern is also one of the cutest cities ever, esp on clear days when you can see the alps in the distance |
Pikazilla
02.04.22 | Beautiful country! Enjoy your time there, bud. |
fogza
02.04.22 | "grindelwald"
lol it does sound so villainous |
JesperL
02.04.22 | hahah trust me fog, google some pics of that place
also: chocolate-wise, grab the home brand 'branches' at the coop and the massive tourist (i know, dumb name but trust me) bars at the migros
and go to any small bakery and get whatever, but most importantly a linzer tortli |
Dreamflight
02.04.22 | Yeah you'll either love it or hate it. Prepare yourself to spend a shitload of money.
List needs Lacrimosa and Cellar Darling. |
fogza
02.04.22 | "hahah trust me fog, google some pics of that place"
no i'm sure it's beautiful it's just the name... it's just... 😂 |
dedex
02.04.22 | oh damn I just remember: in Gruyères (yeah, like the cheese 'cos that's where it's from) you can visit the HR Giger museum as the dude owned the castle
also you HAVE to eat a raclette |
JohnnyoftheWell
02.04.22 | I've been following her

Hope she hasn't spotted me

02.04.22 | I am a sput Swisser. Also, thank you for not including Dreamshade. |
Deez
02.04.22 | @Jesper I do have a day planned at Grinderwald, defo should be someones album title that place or like an obscure mid 90s Myspace white rapper. Cheers man all food is noted!
'Prepare yourself to spend a shitload of money'. I bought a rail pass for like 350 which should cover most of it. Accommodation mostly paid including breakfast so will one meal a day it but had to buy loads of winter clothes and layers and stuff so its easily twice as much already on what Id normally spend. Obviously the helicopters not cheap either
@dedex I did look at that but its off my route man
@pik Will try my best boss! x |
Deez
02.04.22 | @Cug. Where you at??? |
Artuma
02.04.22 | the landscapes are absolutely gorgeous but everything is expensive as shit. well worth a visit though
also remember to eat a lot of cheese |
JesperL
02.04.22 | hell yeah deez! before you go, i'd recommend watching a documentary or two on the eiger nordwand, it'll make seeing that particular mountain all the more impressive
also if you want to save a bit of money on food in the bigger cities, go to supermarket restaurants! |
dedex
02.04.22 | also remember to eat a lot of cheese [∞] |
Piglet
02.04.22 | "also remember to eat a lot of cheese [∞]"
oh yeh. swisse raclette is still the best food ive ever had. also the matterhorn is fucken amazing, especially if you've had the misfortune of spending your entire life living in the sandy pancake hinterland of australia. It's like travelling to a different planet.
My german mate and I hiked up the entire thing because none of the ski lifts were open and we didnt know about the train. Ended up being some lord of the rings mount doom shit, just tens of kilometres of vertical slopes, pumping rammstein, just to see those impossible, jagged peaks... alongside the Eiger, it's still the most incredible thing I've seen. Also every town in Switzerland is idyllic, whether it be Lucerne or Geneva or whatever. Shame the place is so stupidly expensive and the people speak incomprehensible peasant german because it's incredible in every other way. |
dedex
02.04.22 | yes if there's one thing to remember it's that you can't leave Switzerland without having a raclette |
CugnoBrasso
02.04.22 | I live in the outskirts of Bellinzona |
Deez
02.04.22 | @Piglet Apart from the Rammstein part that sounds fking amazing
raclette will be gorged upon! |
Deez
02.26.22 | SO THAT WAS FUCKING SPECTACULAR!! |
JesperL
02.26.22 | pics or it didn't happen!! |
Egarran
02.26.22 | True, we need documentation! |
Piglet
02.26.22 | GIB DETAILS |
Deez
02.26.22 | That would mean linking to my socials and that's never happening on sput haha
Bernese Oberlands were incredible. Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald, Kleinne schiendigg? Mannlichen, The schilthorn, Jungfrau. Lake Thun and Brienz.
Down to Zermatt. Helicopter around the Matterhorn, gornergrat, loadsof dope winter walks
Glacier express to St Moritz for 3 nights. muottos mugral was UNREAL. Few nights in Zurich and home a Hell of a lot of money down but worth every penny |
Egarran
02.26.22 | Damn that sounds good.
We already scouted for a cabin in the alps but it was so mind-blowingly expensive we couldn't even afford it in our fantasies. |
Deez
02.26.22 | Spoke to a skiing instructor who told me some go for 160 grand a week Erg!! Madness.
Cheers norm, mate, had an absolute blast, been to 49 countries now and pound for pound Switzerland has too he right up there. Just every train journey was mind blowing, every time you lift your head breathtaking. I'll put some clips of the helicopter up that shit was wild man |
