Work where others go on vacation. Who doesn't dream of that? Twenty-two-year-old Bettina travels with skis in her luggage to her new job at a hotel in the Swiss mountains. Up there, a fascinating winter world quickly captivates the young woman. Now she belongs to a family of colleagues, where there is always something happening. New challenges and an intense camaraderie enrich her life, which is rapidly gaining momentum. Enthusiastically, Bettina embraces it all—until suddenly a poem appears and throws her emotions into turmoil. This novel shares insider knowledge about the multicultural life behind the scenes of a larger hotel—love, desire, and sorrow included. The cover of this book features the Hotel Chantarella, which stood majestically over St. Moritz for 90 years before it was demolished in 2001. The story is also a tribute to this wonder.
