Pictures of the stunning vistas were widely printed, making the village internationally famous, and many fearless UK men came to climb the alpine peaks. The first resort opened in the village in 1888, and by 1914 there were 33 hotels. Numerous ski lifts, cable cars, hiking trails and alpine huts were built in the late 19th and 20th centuries to allow tourists to explore the mountains.
