Wednesday: Snowli photo day

The third day of ski lessons, children's eyes shining with excitement and a visit from Snowli, our beloved ski school mascot – these are moments you will never forget. To ensure that these memories remain not only in your hearts, our village photographer Foto Walter will capture them professionally.

With a keen eye for the right moment, Foto Walter accompanies our youngest guests during Snowli's visit. The lovingly taken pictures show how playfully and joyfully the children learn to ski in Grächen.

When and where are they available?
The most beautiful pictures are available from Wednesday of the course week at Foto Walter's photo shop on the upper Dorfstrasse in Grächen – as the perfect souvenir or small gift for the family.
