Sylvia Michel Photography

My name is Sylvia Michel and I am a swiss photographer and filmmaker from Switzerland.

My faithful white shepherd Rasta and I are in love with our country and are therefore very proud and happy to show our Switzerland to the whole world!

The distinctive and so different landscape, the beauty and wildness of nature and of course the imposing mountains are our passion and our home! We hike the most beautiful natural places, show the uniqueness of our nature and are convinced - you will also be drawn to Switzerland one day! For solo travelers, individualists and hikers with dogs.

Let's make our dreams visible!

ATTENTION:

We are followed by over 3 million people worldwide. Please understand that I cannot provide information about individual travel requests.
That's what the Patreon page is for. There you will find the appropriate level for your request. I am sure that this will help you plan your trip.

Last week, the Swiss mountains and nature showed their beautiful side and their destructive side. I'll show you how I experienced this week. We move between beautiful moments in nature, and I'll show you what the village of Blatten looked like before it was levelled by a devastating avalanche.
I look forward to seeing you all on Sunday at 4 pm (CET) for the premiere!

My dear Swissies and Switzerland lovers! It has been an emotional week. For once, the mountains showed their dark side – and with full force. The beautiful Valais village of Blatten was buried under an avalanche of debris, glaciers, and rocks. Although the people were evacuated in good time, the life that once existed here is now gone.
At the same time, I was able to experience the beauty of the mountains and go on some wonderful trips with Rasta.
I am very excited to announce tomorrow's premiere. See you as usual at 4 pm (CET), okay?

Blatten was beautiful village in the Lötschental valley in Valais. Yesterday, it was buried by an avalanche of ice, debris, and rocks. 300 people lost their homes. With this video, I would like to draw attention to the fundraising campaign organized by my friend Chrissie. She lived in Blatten and has organized the fundraising campaign for the residents of Blatten. The aim is to provide quick and uncomplicated help and support for the people who have lost everything.

You can find the link to the fundraising appeal in the comments. I know Chrissie personally and I know that she will distribute the donations fairly, quickly, and equitably. Thank you for your support.

Make a positive difference

Even as a teenager, I thought a lot about the world. I often philosophised with myself and always wanted to change the world.

At that time, however, I had enough problems of my own, but I knew that I could only realise my vision if I first found inner happiness.

So I set out on a quest to find inner happiness. I worked hard on myself and had to let go of many things and many people in order to get closer to my inner happiness.

The principle is still simple today: detach yourself from everything that does not have a positive influence on you and your personality or, in the worst case, hinders you.
But what sounds simple is often very difficult in reality and involves many obstacles and headwinds. You need strength and you have to trust that you are choosing the right path. Removing negative influences is the best thing I have done for myself and my life.

For many years now, I have been living harmoniously, contentedly – free from all negative influences – and can finally pass on all my positive energy.

What I don't know is whether this energy reaches you. Do I influence you in any way? Do I, or at least my work, have a positive influence on some of you? Is there anything you do differently or that has stayed with you in particular?
I would be extremely happy to read some feedback from you. I still have this dream of changing something in this world, and every dream starts small.
🥰
Hugs, Sylvia
