Verbier: ‘Après Ski’

In pursuit of pleasure: the premier winter and summer retreat of Verbier, gateway to the Four Valleys, is the scene for this imaginative illustration highlighting the social informality of winter sports activity at the height of the season. Après ski parties make the social roundabout whirl faster and one observer of the scene noted, ‘when you have time and money to spare recreation quickly becomes an art form.’ Switzerland may have been styled ‘The Playground of Europe’, but the nation has a famous history and a by no means insignificant art and literary heritage.
