Visiting a tiny Alpine village with Rick Steves

I've been watching a bunch of Rick Steves' specials this month - if you'd like to see more, you can find some full episodes on hulu, and many clips on youtube!

Alpine Ingenuity

So, what do you do when you need to get some giant bulldozers to the top of an Alpine summit to harvest mountain water?

Drive them up? .......Yeah right!

Fly them up on a helicopter? ......Good luck!

Adapt a ski-lift? ......now there's a good idea!
