    I don’t live at this location, but I do live in a very expensive resort ski location in the mountains. The reason the stores and other locations don’t like seeing cameras is due to the majority of their clientele not wanting cameras following them. So they worry you’re going to affect their sales in a negative manner. Great and informative video for many people who will never be able to see a location like this.

    • @MetricMod
      @MetricMod 12 днів тому +4

      @ I can see your point, but the part you don’t seem to realize is that they don’t like any type of social media influencer coming in and shooting any video. Whether there are people there or not, because as you can see, there are almost one million views on this single video and in some rare cases these types of clients will see this and think, “Great!! I don’t want to go to a place and potentially spend millions and run the risk of being on camera. If they do it when no one is there, they will definitely allow it when the season kicks in.” I’m not saying I agree with this, but I do know this mindset. 😉

      @@slaytheminionYes, this as well. I felt that was obvious. The customers of this nature (like them or not), do not want places they’re going to drop a few hundred grand in one stop, to be on camera. It really is a big deal to them and the shop owners. I only know this because I live in area just like this. We don’t want people wandering around with cameras. I know this content creator does a good job of keeping things fairly low profile, but for some, a guy with a camera in a retail shop that they spend lots of money, means they won’t go back.😉

    This was such a revealing look at a world most of us won’t experience. You captured the beauty of the area, ridiculousness of the prices and the posh world of the ultra rich in one video. Some of those shop keepers were definitely giving you the “Pretty Woman Rodeo Drive” treatment. You handled that with a lot of grace.
    The hotel was so beautiful. One of the nicest ones in terms of classy exteriors and furnishings I’ve seen. Your room looked less like a hotel room and more like a small cozy apartment with a spectacular view. Although that tub with stairs looks like an accident waiting to happen. 😮
    I thought the price for the bridge walk was pretty reasonable. Most tourist attraction prices have increased significantly over the last couple of years.

    Good video but a few points:
    1. The alpine running water comes straight from the alps with no intermediary so it tastes sweet
    2. The ‘cave’ you mentioned isn’t pronounced kave but karve. It’s where wine is stored in French homes
    3. The reason for the cafe being called ‘Charlie’ is by virtue of Charlie Chaplin living there back in the day
    4. Roger Moore used to live in Gstaad and his children were privately schooled at the school you mentioned
    5. Lots of Hollywood stars had home there including Peter Sellars

      I'd maybe add or question...
      1. In this area of Switzerland and France (Vaud, Geneve) there's running fountains of eau poutable everywhere, and I'm not sure it's anything to do with the mountains. And
      2 ... my French is shameful, but I'd suggest there's no R sound (karve) in cave - but simply the phoneme changes according to French (it's a short A sound) versus English (a long A sound due to the word ending with a constant and E). However, the word almost remains the same, as this concept of a basement/wine cellar almost mirrors the cold dark of an English cave (in a mountain)
      .... Otherwise, I'd say the regions are full of private schools, old fashion finishing schools etc. Twenty years ago in Geneve I think 'regular' private school for expatriats was in the ten of thousands of francs (chf) and that was just for the busing Lol...

    Actually I had a second unbelievable anecdote during my stay in Gstaad for a scientific congress: one day I went to the skiing domain, I saw a rich sheikh trying to learn skiing by himself, and he was surrounded by 2 body guards. The most impressive thing was that I noticed that the 2 guys had not skis...and indeed they had to go up by foot without using the ski lift, and had to run down behind their guy - amazing, what a physical condition, but hilarious too !!!

    LOL Tim I have that same issue, about the weather not being what it is known for if I am around. My husband and I stayed in a cabin for a month in Lake George New York. We stayed the whole month of December. That area of upstate NY is known for having a lot of snow in December. I am from the South and I always wanted to have a white Christmas or just to see a real snowfall. I used to get excited when they would announce the chance of a
    Occasional snow flurry. lol so here we are in this cabin, it’s very cozy with 3 bedrooms and a super large
    kitchen, I am watching the weather constantly like a dumb butt, the man that owns the cabin has his snow plow truck all ready to go, as you could probably guess, it never snowed the whole time we were there, which according to the locals is extremely rare. No white Christmas that year. Sorry people I bring the heat with me when I go anywhere.
