Take a deep breath… the mythical Alps are unfolding right before your eyes!
Snowball is a genuine travelling curiosity cabinet: a vintage gondola cabin on wheels filled with wonderfully evocative figures.
Dahu, alpine horn, fondue caquelon, cable car, Saint Bernard, Heidi, crutches, white gold… the whole mountain microcosm springs to life before your eyes, driven by the mechanism of a fantastic kinetic machine.
It all unfolds in a swirling blizzard of snow and mist to the sound of hard rock yodelling that will truly blow your mind.
This wondrous universe was created by sculptor Pascal Bettex, a European virtuoso in the field of gear-driven machines. He works in the same spirit as the sculptor Tinguely, who was known for his sculptural, machine-like works.
