A morning stroll around Verbier.

Yes, insomnia is a funny thing. I get it in bouts – sometimes I just wake up and that’s it. No chance of getting back to sleep.

So after waking up around five, by half past seven I thought I should go for a wander. And I was very glad I did because not only is Verbier at dawn rather nice, I also had a nose around the new lift. Which is looking a lot better than I expected.

Oh, and they look like they’re widening the run into resort. And making pretty banks out of massive rocks. Which is actually good news indeed.
