Ray sees the world as it could be. Monty sees the world as it is. Everything else is what happens when those two meet in the Swiss Alps.

At the end of a winding valley in the Swiss Alps sits a mountain town called Arosa.

That's where the story begins.

It is one of those places that stays with you.

We are here to carry the feeling of the Alps to people everywhere, no matter where in the world they are.

Follow the Sun.

Meet Ray

Ray is the sun. Joyful. Impulsive. Completely earnest. He runs before he looks. He turns rocks into treasure and rainstorms into sky parties. He names everything he finds.

Trust the Mountain.

Meet Monty

Monty is the mountain.
Grounded with a dry humour.
He speaks rarely and means everything he says. He is always exactly where he said he would be. That is the most extraordinary thing.

Arosa, Switzerland

Their World

A real Alpine town where the road ends and the only way in is a winding mountain pass or a breathtaking train ride.

The Alps are not the setting.
They are the soul.

Ray and Monty live here across every season and every season brings something new to find, lose, name, and return to.

They are not alone. Bruno the bear knows things before you find the words for them. Finn the fox always knows a shortcut. Jay the bird says one thing and disappears. Sami the squirrel has a schedule, worries in lists, and was right about the snacks.

This world keeps growing.
There is always another season.
Always another trail.
Always something worth finding.
