What if it was possible to transform the garage of a cable car (the nocturnal shelter which protects the cabins from high mountain conditions) into something new? What would it be?

At the end of the Varet cable car, there's an unsuspected spot hidden from view, which every morning undergoes a transformation and dons its costume of light. The 500m2 of the Varet cabin garage has been transformed into an extraordinary experience at altitude. An unexpected passageway reveals a triptych of worlds in which visitors are invited to wander, listen and contemplate light frescoes revolving around the seasons.
