(In)visible mountain infrastructures

The infrastructure walks organised by Louise Rondel and Laura Henneke made me think of the mountain infrastructures in the Alpine region in Austria where I grew up. Walking in this rugged terrain at an altitude of 8,000 feet could not be further removed from the urban walks conducted by Louise and Laura and yet it is more connected to the urban than one might expect. As I cannot take you on a guided infrastructural walk in the Alps, I thought I could write about mountain infrastructures instead.
