The Savoleyres ski lift stands as a quiet witness to Verbier’s earlier days. Its aging pylons, cables, and mechanical rhythm carry the marks of decades of winters, storms, and sunrises, transporting generations and many nationalities across the same open air.
There is a rare honesty in its design. Functional, exposed, and unapologetically mechanical, it belongs to an era before seamless enclosures and silent efficiency when the journey upward was as much a part of the experience as the descent.
Soon to be replaced, Savoleyres represents more than infrastructure. It is memory, heritage, and the physical link between past and present. This photograph preserves a final chapter a tribute to the enduring character of the mountain and the timeless spirit of Verbier.
