Hiking in the Austrian Alps
Mountain | reviews | videos | photos
Travel writer Trevor Claringbold goes hiking in the Austrian Alps at Kitzbuhel, home to the highest grassy mountains in Europe at over 2300m. He came home with some wonderful views of the mountains as I'm sure you will agree... I used Holst's Saturn as the background music, which some of you may feel was a little dramatic, but it's one of may favourites and I think I perfectly suits a climb up a mountain. Let me know what YOU think! Read the full article at :http://www.eurodestination.com/2013/04/13/hiking-in-the-austrian-alps-by-trevor-claringbold/

I plan on going to the Austrian Alps soon. Question: what would be a good nearby town for me to lock up my luggage and rent equipment?

Great footage! i am prolly go to the alps next moth:D!

Your choice of music is totally over the top, It ruins your whole film, terrible choice great film though
-
Austria, has got to be one of the most beautiful places on earth. The colors of the landscape are beyond description. I would love to live in that country and hike on the high mountains. Great video.

This planet is so beautifull...

Wonderful video ! The music, "Saturn" from the Planets by Holst is very effective. It gives such a feeling of anticipation for something grand and that is exactly what the Alps cause you to feel.
-
The video is well done , but the noise ( music ) does not fit the Austrian culture . Dingbat

Are you actually being serious? Obviously said with light-heartedness but as if to suggest that you actually believe what you are typing. Woman find strength, compassion, tranquility to be difficult to understand in music? What a joke. This music is brassy and thus harsh-sounding. Of course it is also majestic, to match the mountains, but is in addition, rude, arrogant and strident. There is no such thing as "woman..." or "men....". "Some women/most women..." and "some/most men..." is accurate.
-
Just a suggestion, change the music to this video. It's like something you would hear in horror suspense film - doesn't fit.
-
Excellent video! Thank you.
-
@GarlandJudyFan Me too! It was my colleague that went
-
@eurodestination I suppose it could be seen as a masculine piece Gary, because it give the feeling of strength, compassion, tranquillity, endeavour...all the things that women find difficult to understand in music...but shhhh!!!! don't say a thing....:o)...Bob

@robmasterman Great to hear from you as always Bob. Actually I've taken some flak over the music from the other half. It seems that there's a gender divide: woman hate it and men like it. I'll have to make a female-friendly vid! I have another couple of videos from Trevor in the pipeline before I go to Ostende next week. I have always wanted to go walking in the alps and I was really put out when they wasn't asked to go.

When I was watching this Gary, I thought to myself, it's unusual to see unsteady camera work from you, and it wasn't until the end credits that I realised that you did the editing. Having said that Trevor has captured the beauty of this area very well, the music being cleverly used to convey the various moods to match the visuals. This ranged from the effort of walking up hill to the dramatic views from the top of the mountains...Very enjoyable as always...Bob

@zub1964 I'm glad you like the music - I've taken some flak over it!
-
What a beautiful place ! I would love to go hiking here. I used to love hiking when I was younger. The music you use is good, too.

@johnwood57 Many thanks again for your kind comments John. It's a lit longer than I would usually make, but there were so many lanscapes and comments from the interviewees that were worth including that I just went for bust. Also Holst's Saturn is one I've always wanted to use, as I feel it has the atmosphere of mountains.

That was stunning,you do not drag your feet when it comes to your productions,exellent stuff as usual...........John
