I do not know about the others, but am I the only person who thinks that Philipp really has got it all? Lovely children, a beautiful wife, a château in France, and a mountain hut in Italy…. can it get any better than this? 😊 Happy4U!

He worked really hard to get the chateau and they both work really hard to renovate it. But, yes. I actually envy their physical health. If someone gave me a chateau, there's no way I could do it up.

The cabin is in such an enchantingly beautiful place, that I can see why it's so loved by Philipe. And his mother, Hildegard, seems like such a lovely caring woman.
OMG ANNA!!! That insane husband of yours!!! Seeing you climbing thru the clouds!!! The narrow trails, the rocks and that ladder!!! Philip owes you BIG TIME🍷👍

The worst part is that he didn't tell her about the challenges and repeatedly lied about "this being the last hard part" (unless , of course, this was only for the content and the dramatic effect on video and Anna was actually told the truth beforehand). Treating a spouse like a child is not a good look, IMO. Didn't enjoy that patronizing tone from Philip either.
This mountain hike literally caused me a panick attack and I'm at home! 😅 Anna you did so well. You are far braver than me. I would have stayed with Ziggy safe in the valley, drafting divorce papers haha

The cabin... I'm in awe of the scenery. What a wonderful childhood you're creating for your children. Kudos on that hike!
Phillip's idea of a romantic walk and mine are poles apart! Well done Anna. You've most definitely proved you love him.
growing up with a shared family holiday home is really a magical experience. We had a beach house on a island with no cars. We paddled down creeks and found a plane wreck and hiked to find Aboriginal rock carvings. My Grandmother made us amazing food and I always got to bring a friend, it was great. So glad you guys can do this for your family.
Ziggy, the world's happiest doggy. He has two "pawrents" who love and spoil him, two sisters to play with and a grandmother who doggy sits him. What a wonderful place to spend your childhood summers Philip and now you can share it with your beautiful family. You and Anna did fantastic on that hike- how were you two feeling the next day, like a pretzel? 😉

Thanks for taking us to the Dolomite Mountains! The cinematography was award winning.
Anna is so task oriented. The task was to climb the mountain, and that’s what she did.
This was a beautiful piece of filming in a truly beautiful place on earth. I presume that you edited this, having a safe return;and that your relatives didn’t piece this together after your bodies were recovered from a 5k foot deep crevasse. Not quite as hardy as others, I almost fell sideways off my dining table chair as I watched this while having brunch.

Stunning mountains. I could almost see and hear Heidi and Maria sing Edelweis. What a hike! Fantastic vlog, thank you for sharing your holiday with us❣️
First, this was scary Philipe, please don’t kill Anna!! Second, Anna I’m living vicariously through you!! I lost my ability to walk for more than a couple hours at a time otherwise I would’ve jumped at the chance to go on a hike with the man I loved in such a stunningly beautiful place as that. Lastly, the scenery is breathtaking!!!! I’ve never seen better. I enjoyed every second of this video. Another extremely successful vlog highlighting your summer holiday…..hope the chateau doesn’t seem too small after this trip! Thank you, thank you for taking us along with you. Stay Blessed - Hugs to All ❤
Cabin absolutely yes. As a a boat owner for 35 years and finally out of it. I recommend while your children are young and you are working so hard on the chateau, just keep renting sailboats. They are a great deal of work to maintain. And if you do buy a sailboat don't forget to factor I'm the cost of replacement sails every few years.
Anna, you’re a saint! Yes, you proved how much you love Philipp! So enjoyed this video. The family experience and the scenery.

Lovely family cabin in a mountain paradise, Philip, you must have had a wonderful childhood. Now, you are creating memories for your children. Anna, you are a true sport and romantic to "walk" the "widow-maker" trail... lol. Thank you both for the journey of a lifetime. Such spectacular, panoramic views, which I'd never be able to see on my own. Thank you both.
The hut is incredibly beautiful! Philips family has left a great legacy. Thank you for sharing stories and the scenery. Kudos to Anna for overcoming a sensible fear 🤍
I can't believe there was no "the hills are alive with the sound of music" moment with the sheep. What a spectacular experience that hike was, thank you for sharing it.

Stunning! Such a beautiful place. The mountain looked like a painting in every shot. Anna, you are amazing and also “made the hike look so easy”.😊
Wondrous scenery.....what an amazing place. Phillip is SO happy to to share it with you all.
What a hike. No way could I climb in the Alps. My husband took me skiing in the Rocky mountains and we went above tree line. It was white everywhere. No horizon, no trails. He said just follow me down the face of this cliff 😮. It took 6 months before I spoke to him again. 😅
Philip, were you trying to collect life insurance on Anna? 😂 Anna, you are so strong and brave! Beautiful scenery! ❤

Well, that was a nice, little morning walk. Not. I hade vertigo just watching you. But how gorgeous was it. So beautiful. Edit: And then I saw the ladder... OMG Anna, you MUST really love and trust Phillip.What an adventure. Amazed at you two.
How fabulous taking us to the Dolomites! Now I see Philipp's inspiration for Lily's playhouse. Philipp's idea of a fun hike would have killed me, but what a way to go!
One week at sea, the next in the mountains - what a beautiful vacation. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. (But, Phillip, the hike was a bit much. You’re lucky Anna didn’t give you a push).

So enjoyable. Had my holiday now for this year . Sailing around my favourite Greek Islands and hiking around the beautiful Dolomites which I have only flown over.You were so brave Anna. Thank you both for letting us share your special moments. 🍷🍷🇬🇧🇬🇧
Not sure what you were thinking Phillip, you have to be a sheep to do this climb…while balancing a camera… goodness. When you planned this did you remember you have kids and family to go home to. Omg I had my heart in my mouth
OMG! Anna, you have earned my respect. I had no idea you were such a game bird; that ladder just about finished me off. All I can say is that you must love and trust Philip a hell of a lot. Very well done! Now that you have survived the hike, I can tell you that a Yorkshire woman fell 100 feet to her death last year in the Dolomites.
Such a spectacular landscape and so fortunate to have that cabin. You both are either brave or crazy climbing that mountain. I’m not brave enough to have climbed that ladder. Thanks for sharing in this wild adventure 😍😘
Wow! What an amazing area. Its cool your grandfather made something that has brought joy to his family long after his passing. The hike was epic. I don't think I would do it but kudos to you Anna for letting Phillip talk you into it.
I was terrified just watching it ....but oh! the scenery. MAGIC! What a beautiful part of the world.
Oh gosh! That is crazy steep. That is rock climbing not leisurely hiking. Well done Anna.
I love seeing the whole family so happy, especially Phillip grinning ear to ear last week and this week.
In my 20s I think I walked that route in the Dolomites. I remember being quite proud and tired climbing those big mountains as a Dutch person ( we don’t even have hills ) when I was casually overtaken by local people in their 80’s
No other words than just absolutely stunning! Your vacation is full of memories the whole family will remember forever!
you are so lucky to have this amazing, breathtaking place in this beautiful region ❤❤ for me, it looks very much like “Heidi’s granddad’s place” … I dreamed about it all my childhood … ohh Edelweiss ❤

What beautiful views. Love the kitchen nook and chairs. Those cows and the pony are beautiful. Anna I take my hat off to you, there is no way I would have done that ladder and some of that climb was sketchy. I can see why people love the dolomites and Phillip liking the cabin his grandfather built. Thank you for sharing this beautiful place and Phillips happy place as well as his mothers. Have a lovely day.
At my age, and even earlier I learned that it is one thing to go up a mountain, quite another to come back down! Congratulations on your safe hike. Thank you Phillip for carrying all the water!

Thanks for sharing your amazing hike in the Dolomites. What a beautiful place.
The scenery around the cabin that your father built is stunning! That mountain is awe-inspiring and enormous! I ❤ the magical tree, all full of twists and big knots. The flowers are gorgeous😊. How fortunate your family is to be able to stay in the rustic cabin with your mom.🤗👍
Anna,you are so brave!!With Philip your marriage will never get boring-))
Absolutely gorgeous place! How lucky for you Philip to have so many experiences in this heavenly place!
5th of september 21 years ago I have lost my fiance on the dolomites ( the part that is called the 5 fingers) , a trained climber on his last path down after a week of climbinh, weather has changed dramaticly and he was not lucky. Keep safe in your adventures, you have a beautiful family to keep for life
I cannot begin to tell you how many times I swore in my head during that hiking trip. I've climbed a few mountains, but I'm so done. I can't handle the anxiety of it anymore.
You two provide the best videos!!! The views are breathtaking….and I had to close my eyes too …. Never ever would I have climbed those peaks! You two rock ! Lol lol lol
Anna and Phillip, you have truly made a dream life for yourselves and it is such a joy to have you share with us. Thank-you! How lovely to see the pride Philip feels when he shows the family cabin. ❤ just amazing. Anna, you are so very brave and kind, i would have turned back as soon as i saw the metal ropes😂😂. God bless you all. Such a dear pleasure to see your happiness. ❤❤❤❤
Phillips’s looks totally happy and relaxed - for the first time every on this channel!!!
Ziggy is having the time of his life, running around with all the smells of nature. One lucky dog.😁
Idyllic. How blessed you all are. Enjoy yourselves, for all of us.
Anna you are a superhero hiking like that! The Dolomites truly are magical and after skiing there this past winter you’ve convinced me that I really must go back in the summer. So happy for your family!
The cabin is absolutely lovely, a wonderful retreat! Wonderful how the girls react to it. And you're enormously courageous!!! My Lord, the climb up and going down such steep and narrow paths. NOT ON MY LIFE!!! Bravo!!!
The cabin is amazing! After being on pins and needles watching the climb up, I was hoping to see parts of the climb down! Very stunning scenery, even if I was yelling "F-no" in certain parts.
Every shot of this episode is purely beautiful! I can hear "The Sound of Music," Then, we realize now why this is so special for Philipp and Hildegard. What a cozy, literally heart-filled, place built in a magnificent Italian landscape. I have so many questions! Besides Philipp, you and his mother, the girls and Ziggy appear to be extremely happy here in this magical, natural environment! You will have to make this one of your continuous, future episodes: "Another Visit to our Cozy Chalet in the Alps!" (Of course, only IMO!) ❤🙏🏼
What a blessing that you have this beautiful property to get away to, so many memories for the children and for yourselves! It's really a piece of Heaven! Beautiful!
Very nice, except for that hike up the mountain. This type of risk is best done when you no longer have children depending on you. No one is impervious to a simple trip and fall on a rocky path which could end your life.
What a spectacularly beautiful place but omg that climb! My heart was racing! Anna, you're so brave! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Happy days, in such a heavenly place! Philipp, your grandfather really knew a gem when he saw it. How lovely that it is still in the family. The girls and Ziggy enjoying their favourite place by the swing was so sweet. That hike was a hike and a half! Anna, bravely going where most of us would never go! Amazing scenery! Thanks for sharing your family adventures with us. 😍
What a beautiful but scary hike!! Thank you for sharing such a beautiful place with us!❤
Y'all are "Summit Baggers!" !!!. That hike was outrageous. Philip is a mountain goat. Do not trust him on those ridges with spectacular views. Wow! The cabin is fabulous. What a great VaCa.
What an amazing loving couple!! Philipp, you are a wonderful husband for having faith in Anna, in that she is capable of conquering that breathtaking mountain. Anna, with Philip’s confidence and encouragement you put your trust in Philipp and were rewarded with that priceless view. The icing on the cake is that you can achieve anything you put your mind to 💪 Philipp, it’s so magical to be able to take your beautiful family to your place of happy childhood memories. What a privilege to enjoy such a family legacy of that amazing holiday home with views of the Dolomites. Perfectly serine and pristine for your girls and Ziggy creating happy memories for all. Love your Mum, she’s a gem. Loving your videos more and more, they just keep getting better and better!! Enjoy your holiday, best wishes from Mary, Cool and windy Central East Coast, Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺 🌴🥰

Wow Wow Wow! Philip, I think You are part Mountain Goat. I absolutely love your tiny mountain home and the afternoon walk was unbelievable. The Alps are so beautiful on any day. You both are so lucky to have such a wonderful life. Of course, you both make this great life.
WOW! You guys are amazing! I couldn't have climbed that at all, way too steep! It's beautiful up there. Love the cabin and Ziggy loves the whole place too; the girls look like they're enjoying their time there too. I'm so glad you made the climb and I hope the way down was much easier. Have a great week. (from Sandi)
What breathtaking scenery. Beautiful hike but scary. Of course that pony wanted to follow two sweet little girls. I could picture Maria twirling on the hill. You have such an interesting life, thank you for taking us along.
The fact that you kept up with Phillip is very impressive!
What breathtaking beautiful views! How fortunate for you and your family to have such a place to cherish and make memories. Thank you for sharing your adventures, loved seeing them. Fantastic job Anna on the "hike".
The view from the cabin look like painting. So absolutely beautiful. What a great family legacy. And then the hike?! What an adventure. Thank you for taking us along.

Amazing hike and awesome views. I have done some hiking in our Canadian Rockies but nothing this daunting! Well done, Anna (and Philip) ❤
My Darlings I enjoyed every second of Watching you & the breath taking scenery We Missed Ziggy ❤
How wonderful that you and your sweet family can enjoy such stunning scenery and a cabin to enjoy it from. We have beautiful mountains in Montana, USA, but I must say that the Dolomites rank at the top of the list. Breathtaking beauty!
When Anna and the girls were spinning around, I could only think about The Sound of Music!!!
I had to close my eyes! Only the shear beauty of the mountains got me to peak again😊
Thank you for sharing with us! And I think your partnership is wonderful, Anna for participating in the uncomfortable situations and for Philip to encourage and push that comfort. Well done you two!
Beautiful mountain cabin…. Anna’s bravery is really impressive… well done!
Am I the only person not absolutely terrified at Anna and Philip's WALK? As a mother, I couldn't help think it seemed a bit reckless of them with 2 children back in the cabin who could be orphaned with one misstep. Love you guys and so glad you made it back safe and sound. Jann.

Philip was exercising his humour as usual, which added the spice. I love the cabin...no doubt a lot of memories there. Thank you so much for sharing this excitement with us.
Just came back from the Dolomites. Most spectacular and majestic place on earth. God outdid himself there. I don’t need to go anywhere else in Italy. I would recommend to put the Dolomites on everyone’s bucket list. 5 stars. PS: you should have been properly geared and prepared for that hike. And honest with Anna. Sheesh.
Anna - get your will updated. And take Philip off it. That was one of the scariest hikes I have ever watched. The scenery was incredible!! You did very well!!
It's so beautiful there. I love the cabin.The girls will cherish this vacation for the rest of their lives. I love the long-haired cows. You two are great parents, and it shows in how wonderful your girls are turning out. Anna, I can't believe you climbed those hills and mts like that. That was insanely scary.
