“Aerial tramways creep up silent snowy mountain ranges, as skilled skiers plunge into daring descents through pristine Alpine views”

““I was born in the Swiss Alpine village of Lavey, in the canton of Vaud, a French-speaking region, not far from Lake Geneva along the Rhône River. The area is picturesque, with dense forests, sheep grazing on the hillsides, thermal springs and even a medieval castle, château de Chillon, which inspired Goethe and Byron. Yet the arresting beauty of this area truly emerges when the snow falls and covers everything in a dense blanket of white. It becomes timeless and transcendent.””
