We didn’t go far from the city.
We went up, above the  fog.

No signal above the forest line

Two hours from the city, then a forest road, then a path. By the time you reach the door, the noise you brought has nowhere to go.

Every stage of the way up has its own altitude, and each one takes something off your shoulders. The last one is ours, and it is written on the door.

A cast-iron stove in the middle of the room. It heats the cabin, the water and the coffee.

A large window looking out at snowy peaks, a lamp beside it

One wall is glass and faces the ridge. It is the only screen in the house.

A simple bedroom with a wide bed and a mountain window
