2nd August Incident with Helicopter

This particular alpine hut is undergoing extension and each timber frame section is airlifted here by helicopter.

Dave our guide mentioned to the foreman that they must be missing one section of the building because we were witness to it drifting down to earth from approximately a thousand feet above. Luckily, this missed a terrace full of fat Swiss Germans sitting at a restaurant half way up the mountain.

This clientele struggle up several hundred metres, eat a 4-course lunch based on fried potatoes, then wend their way back over a series of perilous rope bridges (three persons max weight). The equivalent Brits would have to be parked adjacent to the eatery.
