In the distance, the mountain and its glaciers loom large and majestic. Near the center of the town there’s a traffic circle, at the center of which is an obelisk made from tightly fitted red bricks. Many of the nearby buildings are faced with the same red brickwork, meticulously maintained for what must have been a few hundred years or so. Most also have wooden window-boxes with alpine flowers.
