Here’s hoping for a prosperous new year to anyone reading this.
Happy new year to you too!
In the lap of the serene white mountain,... The light of dawn awakens, her long, shining hair warms the blanket of ice... Colored elves appearing out of nowhere, slip and weave ideas and dreams... Only the long winding furrows they embroider stories and fables.
In your hand, open!...
Small winged beings announce the arrival of the new year, clothed in hope,... courage... Dreams and health beckon peace and full of joy... Tomorrow is another great day!. .. It's not the end, it's the beginning!...
What a beautiful poem for the end of the year!!! 😍
The book has spoken.
I grew up cross country skiing, this place would be heaven! Thanks!
Pontrecina sounds nice. But Sils Maria sounds magic. Such a wonderful movie as well. Clouds of Sils Maria. The snake is coming, watch out!
It’s a very good movie - clouds of sils maria. Pontresina is very nice though too!
😁❤😁❤Your channel is literally my comfort place. You make me so happy. Love you❤❤
I was lucky enough to visit the Engadine Valley and cross it on skis from Passo Maloja to Zuoz. She is really beautiful.
Mooie herinneringen aan Sils, met Erika en Peter onze Zwitserse vrienden.
Helaas is Erika door een noodlottig ongeval in de bergen verongelukt 😍
“No money can buy the hugs we missed” will be my new motto for 2022. 👍 Thanks and safe journey and happy new year…
That was so very beautiful Lea. Amazing videography, music and narration as always. There is something very mesmerising about a snow-white scenery with the stark contrast of the vegetation and rocky mountains. Thanks for a beautiful trip. Looking forward to continuing the bike trip. Cheers
Cannot agree more, well said 👌🏾❄️
Thank you so much for your lovely comment! I am looking forward too to continue the biking - hopefully as well soon in real life!!! I wish you happy 2022 and hope you will as well travel with me here on the channel next year!
Das war tatsächlich ein Winterwunderland das du da gezeigt hast,eine Märchenlandschaft👍Man möchte bei diesen Bildern sofort dort hinfahren🤗
Ich wünsche dir einen phantastischen Start ins Jahr 2022, gesund bleiben 🍀und hoffentlich ein Jahr mit wieder mehr Normalität im Alltag.
Liebe Grüße Leopold
Das hoffe ich auch für uns alle! Normalität im Alltag und Abenteuer im nicht-Alltag. Und bitte kein Virus oder Krankheiten mehr!
Danke, dass du immer dabei bist!
Such stunning mountain and winter landscapes. Thank you for bringing such inspiring natural beauty to us, lazy homebound people.
8:08 .. beautiful nice bird scene 💓👍
A beautiful way to end the season! Thank you for posting this final video of 2021.
Thank you for joining the snowy adventure. Happy new year and hope to see you next week in 2022!
That was a lovely episode. Thank you, Lea, for the beautiful scenery, your lovely demeanor and the interesting history lessons. This is one of my favorites of yours.
The show was absolutely spectacular you are so luck to be able to go there, beautiful x100. thank you so much !!. yes I will be joining you 2022 for your 2 wheel adventures wouldn't miss them for the world. ,I-am a 50 + yr. rider in the USA . have done my share of riding .
Then I am very happy that you will join the adventures in 2022 !
Thank you for your wonderful videos that allows a South Carolina sixty eight year old boy a chance to see the beautiful places that you visit. I will definitely be a part of your travel crew in 2022. Happy New Year!
Thank you so much, happy you enjoyed the snowy excursion as well! See you in 2022! Happy new year!
The perfect silence of the mountain, with its brutal, admirable, great and perfect immensity. It makes us take a dimension of the beauty of the world. Thanks Lea, thank you so much for sharing these beautiful images. Greetings from Argentina.
Lea
Loved this Video Lady!!!
Wonderful!
Skied there and the food and atmosphere was unbelievable!!
Thank your for this Lady!!!
I still LOVE your accent!!!
As usual, another fantastic video Lady!!
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹👋🙂
Thank you so much - hope to see you next week back on the motorcycle
Thanks Lea for Engadin Valley video. Seems that everywhere you look is a postcard view. Such a beautiful place . See you next Thursday. Dan. ✌️🇨🇦
It’s a really stunning place - but to be honest many parts of Switzerland are just postcard views.
Happy new year to you and hopefully see you in 2022!
Our Canadian National Cross Country Ski team trains in our back yard, so I think we have a pretty nice area. But alas you win. The area where you are is truly spectacular. I would love to ride those roads in the summer time. You have a Happy New Year I look forward to your future motorcycle journeys. Especially on a -42C day like today. Stay warm.
Omg, that is cold!!! 🥶🥶🥶
Hope to see you back here on the channel in 2022 - happy new year!
Now that’s winter defined. Love the white expanse. No snowmobiles. Only struggling noises from hikers and cross-country skiers. Lots of snow always reminds me of a fresh start and renewal. Perfect metaphor for 2022. See you in the new year! 🇨🇦
Stunning 🤩
Is there a New Year coming?
Thank you for this thoughtful comment - indeed a perfect metaphor. I wish you a happy new year and look forward of your travel virtually with me again here on the channel!
The way you show it, even that white stuff everywhere looks pleasant! 🤗
Have a stonker of a new year's eve! 🥳🤩
Thank you so much - and because I know you meanwhile: next week we will be back on the motorcycle and no snow to be seen anywhere! Happy new year!
Thank you very much for especially this video and that from last thursday. I have been in Engadin-Valley (Silvaplana and all around) always in late-summer-time, so this view of the majestic-winter-wonderland makes me cry again - as I Ialways did, when I left this valley. What Nietzsche said is so true and I felt the same - and this feeling is still in my heart. If you go there in summer: take the Albula-Pass... And Lea, You are right: Maloja-Pass makes this experience complete and round. All the best for You!!!
Awe inspiring! The cheese!! OMG that cheese shop looked amazing. Happy New Year! See you next year. 😁
Best cheese shops in Switzerland! Happy new year to you!!!
Thank you LEA,for yours video. 👍👍👍
Thank you for watching!
Lovely place indeed 👏😍✌️
Auch ich wünsche Dir einen guten Rutsch ins neue jahr und viel Glück und Gesundheit im Jahr 2022. Ich freue mich auf die schönen Videos im neuen Jahr. Lg Tony aus den Niederlanden🤗👍🍀🏍🧨✨
Danke lieber Tony! Frohes neues Jahr und hoffentlich bis 2022 in alter Frische! Schön, dass du mit von der Partie bist!
Hola Lea hermoso video y tus augurios de un nuevo año te deseo el doble. Gracias por estar en mi vida. Disfruto mucho con tu viaje. Abrazo gigante. FELIZ 2022.
Feliz 2022 to you too!
The drone footage was incredible
Simply amazing that such beautiful places actually exist!! Thanks for taking us along Lea!!
I just got finished watching both videos, what a very nice place. The scenery is beautiful. Now you need to go back in the summer, but on the Vespa….😉😘 Small villages usually have cool places to eat. Thanks for posting these videos. 👏👏👏
You are really sticking to the Vespa idea. Maybe I will do a Vespa video just for you next year!
Happy new year, see you in 2022!
@@Got2Go 🤪😘
Beautiful sunrise at the beginning as was the rest of the video. If I ever had the means I would buy myself a home somewhere in the mountains and always have some food in my pocket for the birds! A great episode to end the year and be sure I’ll be following your adventures next year.
Happy New year 🥂.
That’s basically the life my parents live - they have a small cabin in the mountains and a bird house that is nearly as big as their cabin always stocked with seeds and food 😂
Happy new year and hope to see you in 2022
U r such a big hearted person u know .... 😇 sacrificing just for us by having the delicious cheese fondue all by yourself....hmmm, I really hope u enjoyed it as well ... 😁 ... I can already smell the cheese coming from your table .... 😋
This cheese fondue was a good one, I can tell you! Happy new year to you!!
@@Got2Go Happy New Year to you n families.... ride on n live life.....👍🏻☺
Schönes Video Lea 👍vielen Dank, ich wünsche Dir einen guten Rutsch ins Neue Jahr 2022 und supeer Start!
Das wünsche ich dir auch! Bis 2022!
A most pleasant valley, videos, and shops. Amazingly hungry birds. Moving on to bikes and fine passes and roads. A wonderful series of videos and commentary. See you in 2022!
Is your buy me a cup of coffee account broken?
What a great way to end this less than ideal year with another beautiful video from Lea! Thank you for sharing this winter wonderland with us and have yourself a very Happy New Year!
Thank you for joining the journey - and I hope we all have a fantastic 2022!
Great video Lea from an old winter loving ski bum. I just got back from a day of counting birds for the Audubon Christmas bird count. It was snowing in the morning and 10% F or about -13 C it wormed up at noon when the snow had stopped and the sun came out. What a amazing day it was to be out side. I love it. I am going to go to the local ski hill for New Years tomorrow. Thank you for showing such beautiful video pictures of Switzerland in winter.
That sounds awesome! How many birds did you count? Never done something like that! 😳
@@Got2Go well we have not added them all up yet. I guess there where 30 some species.We counted a128 Canadian Geese in one park we also saw 6 Bald Eagles and many more birds. We count all day and do a small section out of a 15 mile diameter circle around a town. Sections are divided up between all the participants.
Wow ..... so beautiful and peaceful! THANK YOU and Happy New year to you too. And yes I will stick around for your upcoming adventures. I am in the dead of winter at home so watching motorcycle adventures is my entertainment. THANKS for sharing !!!
Wonderful glacier!
Happy New Year 2022 everyone 🙏💖
Thank you, I wish you all the best! 🙏🏻

Vielen Dank und frohes neues Jahr dir! Und versprochen: nächste Woche gibt es gar keinen Schnee mehr!

Saludos desde Ecuador
Truly a winter wonderland, beautifully captured as usual. Happy New Year Lea, looking forward to following more of your adventures in 2022.
Thank you so much, happy new year and see you in 2022!
Lea, this video is a wonderful way to end the year. As a fellow lover of mountains I really enjoyed the beautiful scenery and the music
added a lot of feeling. Happy New Year. I can't wait to travel with you in 2022 via your videos.
Happy new year to you too! And see you in 2022 back on the bike!
Bom Ano 2022!
Lugar realmente muito bonito. Feliz Ano novo!
Beautiful and stunning 👍🏍️
Thank you so much!
Ich wünsche dir ein fröhliches und glückliches Neuss Jahr zu.
It’s very beautiful there. I visited several glaciers in the Alps and in Norway. I’ve been into two glaciers. One was on the Kleine Matterhorn at almost 3900m high. It had beautiful ice sculptures.
Lötschental had a beautiful glacier but It’s been more than 2.0 years since I walked in that valley.
I never go walking without water and something to eat; energy bar or something.
Dutch people only can think of ice skating when they hear about a frozen lake.
Julien and Majola pass, I visited several decades ago in summer.
You saw how my ice skating went in the last episode - still a lot to improve 😂😂😂
Happy new year to you! Ich hoffe, du bist auch 2022 mit von der Partie!
@@Got2Go natürlich bin ich mit von der Partie. Ich bin gespannt was du für schöne Videos auf Lager hast.
Happy new year!.....
To you too, dear Antonio!
Happy New year 💐💐💐
HAPPY NEW YEAR TOO YOU..
Happy New Year 🎆🎆🎇🎇🎉🎉🧨🧨🧨🧨
Happy new year to you too!
