This image displays a view from an ascending chairlift in Châtel, France, overlooking a steep, heavily vegetated mountain slope during a green season. Two steel cables of the chairlift system extend diagonally across the frame, with one empty chairlift carriage positioned in the foreground on the left cable. Multiple additional empty carriages and at least two support pylons are visible further uphill along the right cable. The mountain slope is densely covered with a mixture of dark green coniferous trees, lighter green deciduous trees, various bushes, and ground flora. Patches of purple flowering plants are concentrated on the mid-left slope, while several decomposed tree trunks are present on the mid-right slope. The sky above features a combination of white cumulus clouds and clear blue patches. No individuals are present in the chairlift carriages or on the visible slope.
