beautiful but sad

I am always amazed that Europeans allow their beautiful mountains to be insulted with such structures.

It (cable cabin) was built still in 1956 for the VII Olympic Winter Games.
I saw You - Americans - also had built some ski areas with structures like this in amazing Rocky Mountains :-))).
Cheers,

Re: beautiful but sad

It's true that North Americans have also put such things on our mountains. But not nearly as much. See this discussion:

Re: beautiful but sad

Hi Arthur!
No problem. I am glad to see somebody who is worried about the MOUNTAINS.
Go, go, goooo!
Viszlát,

Miki
