First light, black coffee

The groomer driver eats first. Listen to him — he knows where the wind loaded overnight.

Out on the ridge in blowing snow

Out in it

Ski, walk, or stand on the terrace and let it hit you. Guides on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Fog closing over the forest

Heat after ice

Wood sauna behind the house, plunge barrel cut into the snowbank. Three rounds, then quiet.

Dinner at the long table
21:00 · −16°

The long table

One seating, one menu, whatever came up the mountain this week. Wine list fits on a chalkboard.

Kitchen & cellar

Fed by the valley, kept by the fire.

Bread baked at altitude, game from the far side of the pass, cheese that spent the summer two huts higher. The fireplace has burned since November 1962; guests feed it after midnight.
