Leysin

Summit of the Berneuse

Once there, everything is modern. Decisions have been made. The place is emblematic: arrival station of the cable cars, turning panoramic restaurant with a modern design, higher resort with chair lifts, snow canons and, facing these elements, one of the most beautiful panoramas of Europe. The dialogue between constructed space and nature finds here a breathtaking, penetrating expression. If the constructions were thought out in relation with the landscape, the scales are incomparable. As by the seaside, one is struck by the immensity of the opening on which ones eyes rest and the smallness of mans interventions.
