RIO WOLTA - Belle Epoque

We are in the 1970s. Mr. and Mrs. Swiss are skiing, the winters are white, the future rosy. Switzerland celebrates its national sport and enjoys the last post-war prosperity boom. People are carefree, fearless and full of confidence. Vacations are spent at home, the domestic ski industry is flourishing and the ski resorts are far from being dependent on money from foreign investors.
