Part of the Elevation 1049 Exhibition in Gstaad

In 2019 it moved to Gstaad for the Elevation 1049 exhibition for 2 years and it will remain there until the end of March 2021. In the Winter it reflected all the snow in the alps, changing all the time with the weather conditions. With all the Summer flowers all around it also blends in, becoming part of the alpine Summer pastures.
