  • A traditional alpine chalet in the Austrian ski resort of Altenmarkt. Seen in a shaft of low sunlight and with snow on the pavements and local roads, the house is constructed from old wooden boarding in the traditional way of Tyrolean architecture. High on one exterior wall is a crucifix telling us that this family are Christian, probably Catholic in this Austrian village. The Chalet Many chalets in the European Alps were originally used as seasonal farms for dairy cattle that would be brought up from the lowland pastures during the summer months. With the emergence of the Alpine travel business, chalets were transformed into vacation houses used by ski and hiking enthusiasts. Over the years the term chalet transformed to its modern general meaning of a vacation house built in an Alpine style

  • A yodelling lady singer belts out traditional Alpine Swiss songs during a concert in the Liechtenstein capital, Vaduz. In front of an audience consisting of locals and visiting tourists, the lady is dressed in traditional Swiss/Alpine dress called a dirndl, a type of traditional dress worn in Germany – especially Bavaria – Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria and South Tyrol, based on the historical costume of Alpine peasants. Dresses that are loosely based on the dirndl are known as Landhausmode ("country-inspired fashion"). A dirndl skirt generally describes a light circular cut dress, gathered at the waist, that falls below the knee

  • Dressed in typical overalls for the area, traditional Alpine farmer Peter Eberle stands looking up at the viewer for a portrait in the courtyard of his dairy farm in Balzers, Liechtenstein. Mr Eberle wears a woolen hat and blue workman's overalls. He looks a proud but tired and weathered gentleman in his latter years and appears to be an experienced Alpine farmer and we can see a heap of manure over his shoulder and an old fashioned scythe for mowing long grass, leaning against a barn wall. Liechtenstein is a landlocked Principality bordered by the Alpine countries of Austria and Switzerland and is a winter sports resort, though best known as a tax haven, attracting companies worldwide to register their assets in complete secrecy. Its agricultural output is mainly wheat, barley, corn, potatoes, livestock and dairy products though technology companies have been eroding the traditional ways of life such as Peter's for decades.

  • A warning sign on an alpine mountaintop for skiers, tells them of a closed piste and of a no marked and controlled trail. From the heights of this Alpine mountain, we look down the snow-filled valleys on a beautifully clear winter’s day. Lower peaks stretch into the distance and it is a landscape of extreme beauty and wonder. Little pollution or smog is evident and we see the sign that is situated in plain view of skiers who have dismounted their cable car in Liechtenstein. The warnings are written in 4 languages: German; French; Italian and English for the sake of international skiing enthusiasts who may wish to venture off-piste, taking their own risks but enjoying as much more adventurous form of free skiing.

  • Alpine brown cows graze in sunlit winter pasture on Inglebert Seger's Vaduz farm on the Liechtenstein valley floor. The nearest cow looks towards the viewer while the second is further away in the field of fresh green winter grass. Brown Swiss is the breed of dairy cattle that produces the second largest quantity of milk per annum, over 9,000 kg (20,000 lb). The milk contains on average 4% butterfat and 3.5% protein, making their milk excellent for production of cheese. Known mostly as a tax haven, much of Liechtenstein's terrain is mountainous, making it a winter sports destination. Many cultivated fields and small farms characterize its landscape both in the south (Oberland, upper land) and in the north (Unterland, lower land).

  • Corner of typical old Alpine timber hut in the Pralongià above San Cassiano-St. Kassian in the Dolomites, south Tyrol, northern Italy. In winter, the Pralongià meadows are the heart of Alta Badia’s skiing area. The oldest barns in this region are called Tierstaller and follow the same basic design: That of for warmth in the long, hard winters in the mountains and for coolness in the hot summers. But farming has changed dramatically in the Alps. Barns reflect and accompany this transformation. In villages and open landscapes, more and more barns are abandoned, used for other purposes, or falling into disrepair. Contemporary farmers build new barns for stockbreeding, fruit storage, and wine pressing. San Leonardo is in the municipality of Badia populated mostly by people who speak the ancient Ladin language.

  • Grazing Alpine cows in a field where a chairlift operates overhead in Leonhard-St Leonardo, a Dolomites village in the Badia region of south Tyrol, Italy. Peering over the fence we see the cow in summer sunshine with ample supplies of fresh grass to feed on. South Tyrolean freshness begins on family farms with an average of 12 cows each. Every day, the mountains farmers at 800 to 2000 m above sea level make sure that their South Tyrolean milk gets from the cow to the refrigerator within 24 hours. South Tyrolean milk is naturally also used to make cheese. The region has over 90 different types of cheese - the most famous being Dolomiti, Alta Badia and Pustertaler mountain cheese.

  • Looking downwards from a high vantage point on a hillside, we see one mountain-biker leading a second cyclist as they traverse across a sunlit mountainside near the hamlet of Masecha in the parish of Triesenberg, Liechtenstein. The late afternoon sun is low across the valley and there is a haze that partly obscures and refracts light over the distant landscape. There is snow on the distant mountain peaks but the countryside has the brown look of a snowless winter. Far off villages and hamlets hug the hillsides and golden light floods the scene. The tiny landlocked Principality of Liechtenstein is bordered by the Alpine countries of Austria and Switzerland and is a winter sports resort, though best known as a tax haven, attracting companies worldwide to register their assets in secrecy.

  • Schloss (Castle) Vaduz perches high on the slopes above Vaduz, the capital of the tiny landlocked Principality of Liechtenstein. Prince Hans-Adam II is the current resident of the Schloss. The mountain peaks in the background have snow on their jagged edges but the castle itself is free of snow and rests on the slope on a cold but fresh day. Sunlight shines on the side of the old castle walls making this a fairy tale scene of another era of history. The Liechtenstein dynasty dates a royal lineage going back to 1140 under various lines of the Hapsburgs dynasty. Liechtenstein is bordered by the Alpine countries of Austria and Switzerland and is a winter sports resort, though best known as a tax haven, attracting companies worldwide to register their assets in secrecy.
