Slow down, honey. I think he's referring to the snow etc. we commonly associate with the Swiss alps. Nothing to do with semantics. He's suggesting that not only is it paradise where you live, but maybe also an icicle paradise right now. It being winter and all. At least that's my interpretation.

Icicle Paradise does make sense to an native English speaker for someone living in Switzerland, so it is not an unnatural mistake for us to make when reading quickly. No-one is accusing you of any error at all.
