Mont Blanc Chamonix Aiguille du Midi in the French ALPS


The thick snow blanketed my hat, black hair, scarf, coat, and everything else, but I want to make it even more dramatic, like the dream look I've always envisioned for myself.
Today at Aiguille du Midi in France, brace yourself for extremely cold, freezing weather with lots of snow.

Take a ride on the world's highest cable car to enjoy the amazing views of French alps. It's snowing heavily today. Unfortunately, we can't take in the sights from the glass walk, but we'll definitely come back again.

We secured our tickets online earlier for the 10:10 am trip to the summit of Aiguille du Midi. The reservation and round-trip tickets for two came to about £150.

Everyone in line is taking their time, super polite, and the staff is really helpful too. But the sky is all cloudy and very cold, and it's heavy snow. The following day, we found out it was going to be closed for a week while they updated the website. How lucky we are!

This was my first time here, and I had a really great experience. Honestly, I'm not really into sports, but now I feel like I want to walk more and explore the outdoors instead of just staying at home.

As we climb the stairs, it gets tough to catch our breath when we finally reach the top. Usually, I take off one glove, keeping one hand free to shoot videos. When the pain kicks in and the cold feels like tiny needles poking my skin, I hurry back inside to shield myself. Then, I sit down, press my cold hand against my warm skin, shut my eyes, take a deep breath, and just wait until my hand warms up to a comfy temperature. It requires teamwork with your partner, and it takes a lot of energy. So, we all need to stay healthy.

My mindset is shifting after my recent surgery and the let downs from multiple treatments, which I prefer to keep private. So, I'm changing my perspective now. This was my first time here, and I had a really great experience. I want to spend time with my loved ones, each and every day, and cherish those moments together! 

We visited Aiguille du Midi café called CAFETERIA, where I ordered two cups of hot Jasmine green tea and settled in for some relaxing moments. The staff asked us to pay upfront for 9 euros, then we realized they were using cheap paper-cups. They should definitely inform customers about that before taking payment; it feels like a tourist trap.

For the same price, you could enjoy tea served in stainless steel or ceramic pots with cups, plus they would refill your hot water a second time in Chamonix city, just a short distance away. We had high expectations and never imagined it would turn out to be a tourist trap.

Anyway, it's an experience worth sharing. We're still filled with joy and unforgettable memories from seeing the top of Aiguille du Midi, surrounded by heavy snow and the stunning scenery we had always dreamed of.

Thank you for being part of our tour! Looking forward to seeing you all in the next chapter. Goodbye, my friends!

Breakfast with A Mountain Views in Switzerland


Today is the third day of our breakfast journey. Honestly, we’re not morning person, but when we’re on holiday, we wake up early, especially for a luxurious breakfast with views of the Swiss Alps.

If you saw our first breakfast buffet video in last few days ago, this is actually the second one we’ve enjoyed, but we opted for different choices to try out and they also look great too.

This is Dark wholemeal bread, which has an oats and caramel flavor and is crunchy like a biscuit. It's not fluffy or soft; it's just like a crunchy biscuit, but it's healthy bread. This bread is crunchy on the outside, medium soft on the inside, and has a fruity taste.

Today, we're excited to give the Swiss cheese a go and see how it tastes, along with the smoked salmon. Boiled eggs are a must-have, super fresh, just like they came straight from the farm hens. Oh wow, this is a moment that will leave us in awe, as we've never experienced anything like this before. We love how our breakfast looks on the table and the views is really amazing!

Every morning, the breakfast area feels like a dream, with scenes that seem unreal. We've been here for 4 days, and we get to enjoy 3 breakfasts with views of the Swiss Alps in Champery village.

That's awesome and I am sure will create unforgettable memories for us. Hope you enjoy this video! Catch you all in the next video.

Swiss Breakfast with A Views - Switzerland’s Mountain Villages

We have finally arrived at Champery village in Switzerland. We spent four days and three nights at the Hotel National Resort and Spa. There is a breakfast area, as well as options for lunch and evening snacks.

Oh wow, looking out the window, we have breakfast with a view! The glass house has a panoramic 360-degree window where you can clearly see the Swiss Alps and a big clock nearby. This four-star hotel provides a five-star experience in the Swiss Alps, it is an luxurious escape from home.

A reception area and a lounge, with a classy piano over there. Plus, there are plenty of windows and great lighting all around, along with beautiful chandeliers. The hotel feels so clean and cosy inside. The Swiss hotel national's team is super friendly and really helpful; they always make us feel welcome and happy to be here.

Good morning! Today is our first day of breakfast, and I will guide you through the breakfast buffet.

There are various types of bread available, including croissants and pain au chocolat, which contains chocolate inside. On the left side, you can find cold foods such as butter, ham, salami, and smoked salmon slices, yogurts and fruits while the right side features hot dishes like sausages, bacon, and scrambled eggs.

I sliced two pieces of French bread and toasted them, making sure to adjust the toaster to medium heat and keeping an eye on it for about three minutes.

The waitress inquired about my drink preference—coffee or tea. I opted for two cups of Jasmine green tea, which is of exceptionally high quality. We offer three varieties of juice: orange juice, apple juice, and grapefruit juice. Grab a fresh whole apple and a pear to seeif there's any difference between those found in the UK. Additionally, it's beneficial for maintaining our health to make sure we stay well-hydrated.

We have Swiss free-range eggs that you can boil to your liking. We boiled ours for three and a half minutes, and they came out just right, with golden yolks that are absolutely tasty. Furthermore, there is a table featuring a variety of cereals and homemade jams, allowing you to choose your favourite selections.

Is this true?
Why does it seem unreal?
If I am not seeing the person with my own eyes?
I thought it was AI.

Having breakfast with such views feels like a scene from a movie. The Swiss yogurt is incredibly tasty and feels very healthy.

We took many photos and filmed a lot. After our delightful breakfast, we strolled around to admire the beautiful village, enjoying the fresh air and stunning mountains, all just a few minutes' walk from the Coop supermarket. We are so happy and enjoying ourselves. What a wonderful day! Thank you for watching and breakfast with us.

See you in the next video, goodbye, my friends!

Geneva Christmas Market 2025 - The OLDEST Brasseries Lipp Restaurants in Switzerland Delicious OR Tourist Traps?


Our first time in Geneva, Switzerland, and we are super hungry, so we’re planning to indulge in some delicious, big meals. The restaurant we’re heading to is Brasserie Lipp Genève, which has been around since 1986 and is a true gem of French cuisine.

The atmosphere is warm and elegant. A big bottle of Evian or sparkling water costs 12.50 Swiss franc, so you might as well order a jug of beer instead.

The bread is freshly baked daily and is free, plus you can ask for some butter. While enjoying the beer, take a look at the menu; dining out in Geneva can be pricey, especially for quality food.

Brasserie Lipp in Geneva tends to be on the pricier side due to its iconic status, historical Parisian connections, prime location, and the high-quality, classic brasserie experience it provides. The overall elevated cost of living and dining in Geneva, Switzerland, also contributes to the premium prices for a refined, traditional meal.

We've ordered 3 different types of fresh oysters as a cold starter.

1) Gillardeau 7.20 Swiss franc

It's famous for their exceptional quality, rich, sweet flavour, plump texture, and distinctive laser-engraved "G".

2) Ostra Regal 6.90 Swiss franc
It's nutrient-rich waters of Bannow Bay, Ireland, known for their distinctive, crisp texture, sweet finish.

3) Boudeuse 4.60 Swiss franc
It's round, slow-growing French oyster from the Marennes-Oléron region, known for its surprisingly sweet, crisp flesh, rich flavor, and firm texture hidden inside a small shell.

After we finished our starter, it wasn't long before our main dishes arrived all at once, and they stayed nice and hot until the end.

We were super satisfied with these delicious, huge meals. We had a massive portion of Veal chop Milanaise for 55.70 Swiss franc and Choucroute de la mer for 49.99 Swiss franc, plus an extra 1 for bacon at 3 Swiss franc and a side of rice for 7 Swiss franc.

Two people enjoying a big, tasty meal cost us 153.60 Swiss franc. Be cautious, the main dishes as this is an exceptionally large portion.

December is the month of Christmas, when everywhere is beautifully decorated, fostering a festive holiday spirit. We are eager to explore Geneva's Christmas Market: charming stalls, delicious food, sparkling lights, interactive activities, and all the components of a wonderful holiday experience.

Geneva Christmas market is referred to as NOEL AU QUAI.
Also in Geneva, French is the main language spoken.

In Zurich, Switzerland, most of the population speaks Swiss German (Schwiizerdütsch), a dialect of German.

I enjoy walking and discovering new sights, particularly during this holiday season. The Christmas spirit is everywhere, and it feels wonderful.

We extend our warmest wishes for a very merry Christmas and hope for a healthy, happy, and peaceful new year for everyone. May our lives remain filled with joy and happiness, and we wish you a joyful and merry Christmas as well!

Is Grocery Shopping in Switzerland EXPENSIVE? Coop Supermarket Tour in Switzerland, Swiss Alps Village


Just a 9-minute walk from our Hôtel National Resort & Spa in Champery, a stunning Swiss alpine village that we searched for over a year. I will be uploading a room tour in the next video. Now, we are finally here on the morning of day two at Coop. It had everything we needed for a 4-day stay in this marvellous Swiss Alps village.


This is the chocolate I adore, Halba pistachio chocolate. I enjoy both the dark and milk varieties of Halba Pistachio Chocolate. It is the finest pistachio chocolate I have ever experienced. It is truly my favorite, whether paired with coffee or Guinness. This popular Swiss delicacy features smooth Swiss chocolate (both milk and dark) filled with crunchy, caramelized, and salted pistachios, providing a delightful mix of creamy, sweet, and savory flavors in every bite, a hallmark product from Chocolate Halba.

I am genuinely thrilled to have discovered the world's best pistachios. This is the one you must purchase if you love pistachios; it is incredibly fresh, delivering an extraordinary pistachio flavour that is out of this world. They are so crunchy, with no salty or burnt taste, and in all the packs, you won't find a single one that is burnt or spoiled. These are the perfect pistachios I have ever tasted in my life.

I am truly delighted to have found my favorite pistachios and pistachio chocolate that is not overly sweet, yet of high quality. It is worth the price due to its premium quality and the world's best pistachios. Everyone should try it; I highly recommend it.

Is Grocery Shopping in Switzerland EXPENSIVE? Coop Supermarket Tour in Switzerland, Swiss Alps Village

The place was clean and well-organized, conveniently located within walking distance from our accommodation in the heart of the Swiss village. Additionally, the staff seemed very friendly. We are spending 4 days in Champéry, which is extremely convenient for us.

Vaya bean salt snacks are my favourite; they aren't overly salty but are incredibly flavorful, with a delightful bean taste. They are so crunchy that I can't stop eating them. They've now become one of my favourite crisps, and I must buy them whenever I visit Switzerland.

I've observed that the ice cream in Switzerland is exceptionally delicious. It must be made from high-quality, fresh milk and natural classic flavours; it truly is impressive.
It brings me immense joy to be with my loved ones. This is our first experience of enjoying ice cream in front of the Swiss Alps on a snowy day. Surprisingly, we don't feel cold at all, and it creates such memorable moments.

You should definitely try it when you're in Switzerland; it's a fun experience that you will cherish forever. As we stroll towards this Swiss village, each step is a delightful experience, and the snowy mountains are breathtakingly beautiful.

The air is refreshingly crisp, and the tap water tastes as fresh as mountain spring water, so pure. The water is as sweet as the air, and I feel so fortunate to spend four days here, savouring every moment without any rush, simply slowing down to embrace a peaceful life. It truly is a luxurious escape from home, allowing me to take a much-needed break. Thank you for operating this store in our holiday destination!

We are truly enjoying our time on the balcony of our room, taking in the views of the Swiss Alps while indulging in all the snacks we purchased today. This experience has been delightful, and we feel refreshed trying as many local snacks as possible. It’s all about relaxation, allowing us to sleep early and wake up early, as an early start enables us to accomplish many things.

After sampling various snacks, we can now identify which types we enjoyed and plan to buy many of them when we visit Coop in Geneva, bringing them back to the UK. I hope you find this video helpful. Upon returning to the hotel, we felt the urge to relax on the balcony and sample all the snacks we had purchased.

The views remained pleasant, even though they were shrouded in fog. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the ice cream we enjoyed; the mango and passion fruit flavours were incredibly fruity and not overly sweet. It was delicious, showcasing the natural taste of both mango and passion fruit. We savoured every bite, and the ice cream never melted a single drop, making it quite refreshing.

In contrast, the chocolate almond ice cream was distinctly different from the ones in the UK; the Swiss varieties are truly the best of the best, exceptionally fresh.

Over the past three years, I've experienced a lot of changes. I've slimmed down by 10kg. Even though I wasn't obese three years ago, losing 10kg makes a significant difference in my appearance. I'm not sure if you've noticed it or not? Now I can enjoy more snacks again!  

This is the world's best Coca-Cola, available only in the hotel room fridge. It comes in a glass bottle and is a specific brand that I can't find at Coop or anywhere else. It's my favourite Coca-Cola in Switzerland. 

I hope you find this video helpful; Please give a thumbs up for more videos like this?

White Christmas in Switzerland - Music Video

New Song Lyrics:

December is a month of Christmas,

which is also my favourite season.

I adore snow. The snowfall is incredibly beautiful.

Watching all the snowflakes fall.

Listening to the sound of fresh air as I breathe it in.
Observing the mountains blanketed in snow.
My dream is to celebrate a white Christmas in Switzerland.

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas;
as 2026 approaches, let go of negative individuals.
Leave behind your past and all the negativity.
Be resilient and accept your mistakes.
Start a new in your life. Life is truly wonderful.

First Time Snowboarding - Skilling Injuries in the Swiss Alps 🇨🇭

This is the scenario we aim to prevent. Nonetheless, I feel it is important to update you on the circumstances unfolding behind the scenes. I have suffered an injury to my chin and I was concerned that I might have fractured a bone when I heard the sound. My mind is preoccupied with the thought that I have spoiled the holiday. I will be admitted to the hospital and might need plastic surgery to fix my chin in the near future. At that moment, I feel extremely frightened and anxious about it.

We had an amazing stay at a 5-star hotel in Villars-sur-Ollon, which proudly holds a michelin key. The Villars Palace is not merely an elegant establishment with breath-taking mountain vistas; it represents an excellent blend of modern hospitality, education, and environmental sustainability. Proximity to the ski resort and the cable car that transports you up the mountain is a significant advantage. The hotel provides a ski-to-door service, so their driver will take you to the nearby ski resort, and when you’re back, just give them a call and wait a few minutes. This really shows their commitment to excellent customer service.

The Gryon Ski Area is conveniently located just a brief 3-minute drive or a 10-minute walk from this location. At the Gryon Ski Area, which is part of Les Diablerets/Gryon, you can purchase half-day passes for either the morning or afternoon sessions. The cost of half-day ski passes may vary, but you can generally expect to pay approximately 49 CHF for adults. They offer morning sessions (such as 8:30-12:30) and afternoon sessions (like 12:30-16:00). Be sure to visit the official Gryon Villars Diablerets website at https://www.tvgd.ch/en-US/skipass/?supplier=18d70fe2-7909-4789-9ae4-54639ef532aa&startYear=2026&startMonth=1

I'm not really into sports, and this is my first time skiing. As the new year begins, I am really thrilled to embrace new experiences and feel full of energy.
I figured it would be a piece of cake. However, I found myself repeatedly falling down, as demonstrated in this video. To be honest, everything is amusing, I actually find it quite funny, and I haven't felt any discomfort at all from the start. Starting to learn skiing in a group is a wonderful way to gain confidence with support. Alternatively, a private ski lesson is priced at 75 CHF. If you want to add another person, it will only cost an additional 10 CHF, making it 85 CHF for a one-hour private ski lesson.

I thought I could ski proficiently, so I descended rapidly but ended up falling uncontrollably, resulting in considerable pain to my chin and chest.

I was extremely frightened, fearing I had fractured my chin bone, and I could taste blood in my mouth and nose.

I remained there unable to move for at least five minutes, overwhelmed by the pain. I was also anxious that my life would be entirely different from that moment onward. I will remember this error, as we all learn from our mistakes, right?

I'm too rushed to absorb new skilled. Avoid showing off when first. Take time and don't hurry. Watch the professional skiers around and focus on who has more skiing skilled than you. ItalyPaul technically my private ski instructor, but I initially didn't heed his advice. Now I recall that when someone more knowledgeable than you takes on the role of teacher, it's best to remain silent and learn at a steady pace, without rushing.

ItalyPaul was quite adept at skiing during his teenage years in Australia, and he once shared a video tape with me that he had recorded using his camera. At that time, I had no interest in sports, so we didn't communicate or engage in any sports until recent years; I have changed significantly. Unfortunately, the memorable video tape recorded with the camera was stolen during a burglary at our former residence.

Oh, Paul knows how to ski, but I always remind him to avoid skiing too fast to prevent any unnecessary emergencies.

As you mature and grow older, forming close relationships with your loved ones, best friends, or a cherished partner can truly transform you.

I understand that everyone desires to be your own unique self. However, there are times when you may wish to explore new experiences, even if they don't initially pique your interest. Embracing new challenges in life is always worthwhile.

Today feels like a dream. I never imagined that I would get into sports and start skiing in the snowy mountains in my favourite countries Switzerland; it truly feels incredible to me.

We got flight insurance and ski insurance to cover us for emergencies and accidents. This is super important, especially when doing risky sports overseas.

I found out that I had soft tissue injury, my chin still hurt but I know it's not serious since it's improving. If it worsens, I will definitely call for it emergency help, as we already purchased a ski insurance which is crucial for covering all medical expenses.

After that, I spoke less, rested more and eat slowly.

Can you guess how long we've been skilling? We're feeling quite tired, so we've decided to take a break at Rocco Cantina Italiana, Villars-sur-Ollon restaurant.
The price is exactly the same as what you'd pay for a basic cup of tea in a café or restaurant in Switzerland. Two large cups of Jasmine green tea, cost around £10 - £12 altogether. I can't really recall the exact amount. It has an authentic, fresh flavour, and provides a comfortable. It's delightful to relax with a cup of Jasmine green tea. It's always been my favourite, especially in the coldest days. I sipped it. carefully to avoid touching my lips. Unfortunately, I improved day by day and the sixth day I was completely healed.

If you were in my position, would you choose to go on a ski holiday again?

 ''For those new to skiing / snowboarding, it's important not to rush or try to show off. Playing at a slower pace is a safer approach, especially if you haven't taken a ski lesson''.

The staff at Villars Palace are consistently warm, friendly, and exceptionally helpful and attentive to hotel guests.

His name is Gurbun, and he provides top-notch service worthy of a 5-star Michelin rating; he is truly an asset.

I hope you enjoy this type of video; it's a fresh experience for me since I've never created this kind of content before.

Typically, I keep the behind-the-scenes aspects hidden, focusing on the positive side, but in reality, life encompasses both good and bad.

I used to be concerned about others laughing at me for my lack of knowledge, but I've since transformed my perspective. Now, I find humour in my journey and believe we should embrace new experiences, transitioning from the unknown to the known. It's truly an incredible experience in life.

Looking forward to seeing everyone in the next episode.

这是我们最不想看到的局面。 不过,我想告诉你们一些事情。 我的下巴受伤了,听到响声时,我以为骨头骨折了。 我满脑子想的都是自己毁了这次假期。 我将住院治疗,可能很快就需要做整形手术来修复下巴。 “当时我心如刀绞”。
