The Tikis of Saas-Fee

The local village of Saas-Fee is a tidy and pleasant

ski-resort town. It does have one

remarkable oddity, though. Those are the "Masken"

or traditional carved heads.

I assume that one is supposed to create these

things during long, cold winters while utterly

snowed in. I guess it beats an attack of

cabin-fever when you take the hammer-and-chisel

to your roomates.
