Synopsis

This book delves into Verbier's past, reflects on its present, and imagines its future, eschewing the conventional bounds of historical narrative to breathe new life into events long forgotten. A distinctive and nuanced account where memory and history intertwine, weaving together personal reflections, whimsical anecdotes, and authentic events with both sensitivity and scholarly rigour.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Fionnay, Lausanne, Paris, Beijing, Verbier: five places, five chapters in the life of Marie-Madeleine Gabioud, author of "The Verbier Chronicles". These destinations trace the arc of a rich and varied journey. Yet it is the final stop - Verbier, where her father once built a business and her mother shaped young minds - that beckoned her home, inviting her to give voice to its story and honour her roots. A journalist by profession and a long-time cultural columnist, Marie-Madeleine has held several senior editorial roles within the French-speaking Swiss press. So when the opportunity arose to put into words the extraordinary saga of this mountain amphitheatre perched above the valley, she embraced it without hesitation.
