The Tschuggen Grand Hotel in Arosa kindly gave me permission to use their rather extraordinary "outbuildings" as a backdrop to a photo of my now decrepid tent. It was to illustrate a short story in my show Passion Alpen. I wanted somewhere modern and dramatically high-tech, and immediately thought of this place. Being next to a piste, the tent raised a few eyebrows. One passer-by asked how much I would charge for the "room". In view of the dramatic setting I told her I didn`t think 100 Swiss Francs was unreasonable. As it was in the dead of winter, she took less than a millisecond to decline the offer..
