Unfortunately I don't have the photo you were looking for. In fact, it may have been a Gondola and not a chairlift when we were there--I was not being precise in my description due to plain lack of knowledge. There's no skiing in Texas and though I have been skiing in the states, most places I have been use a simple chairlift and so that is the terminology I used.

It is now a gondola. Thanks and regards, By chance, do you have an actual photo of what used to be a chair lift to FirstBahn. It is now a gondola. Thanks and regards,

Of course now I have had reason to go back again and again to different areas. Switzerland is so diverse in Locarno so warm so italian and a great place to get to via the train what a journey.There is a hidden Island Isola De Briggado a beautiful house and a mini Kew Gardens in London. Verbier hey please go its what ski-ing is all about the fun and the place to stay if you can is the Kings Parc hotel a lovely friendly 4 star hotel and you are looked after but Verbier is what you would expect from a ski ing village. Equally please go to Martingy for culture the roman ruins and Pierre Giannada exhibitions Rodin was so good and beautiful gardens with hidden scuptures and Savlan where Marconi did his experiment for the radio and the cook on the Titanic is buried. Les Marecottes for the zoo Les Granges for the only organic hotel in Europe, the Hotel Balance and finally Vallon De Van serene and welcoming. All stacked on top of one another up the mountains. If you want Swiss, peace tranquility and long walks. Walk up the Gorge De Dailley to Vallon De Van and have a meal at the Auberge you will need it and love it. Idyllic and peaceful. Walk again up to the Camp site its all signposted just a slice of swiss life. Read Paul Da Silva who has visited lots of places in Switzerland too and gives a lighthearted view while involved in crime capers and love.
