A single gondola cabin marked Verbier hanging from its cable above a forest of snow-laden pines, a wide valley and snow-covered ranges opening out beyond under a bright, hazy sky.

The quiet part of the ride.

From the cabin behind, looking along the cable at the one in front, with the whole valley opening out to the right. The pines are carrying more snow than they look built for, and the cable cuts the frame corner to corner, which is the only straight line in it. A phone frame, because that is what you have in a gondola.

Part of The Alps in Winter, a series.
