Image credits

Most resort photos come from Wikimedia Commons and carry free licences. A few were supplied by the lift companies themselves. Author, licence and source of every single image are listed here.

The rule is images under free licences (public domain, CC0, CC BY, CC BY-SA). Alongside those we use the occasional photograph a lift company has expressly given us; where that is the case, the licence column says who granted permission. The images were cropped to the page format and compressed for the web, but otherwise left unchanged. If you are the author of an image and would like a correction, get in touch via the about page.
