Winter is almost over, the village 'make over' months begin and Hotel Eder is getting a new facade. Facades of all kinds can be found everywhere in Maria Alm; the church with it's ostensibly opulent marble interior is one of the biggest frauds, newer buildings are made to look old with wood cladding, outward appearances are paramount, and the welcome smile that makes the guest feel like Lassie finally coming home is carefully honed. After a long and exhausting winter, those facial facades are in need of a make over.
