The big race isn’t until next weekend, but this weekend there’s a warm-up event for the younger skiers. It’s easy to pick out a racer at the station – they have ridiculously long skis.

Val was teaching again this morning. Busy on the Lauberhorn, but it’s worth it for the view of the Eiger.

Here’s the lower part of the race course – it passes through a tunnel under the railway. It is said that if a train passes overhead as you go through the tunnel, you will win the race.

This evening we’re off to Mürren across the valley. They have a splendid Chinese restaurant.
