It’s cold, but the sun’s out. Every train going up the hill is packed, so we employ our usual tactic and go in the opposite direction – down to the valley. We had lunch at the Airtime cafe and had a walk along the path where I do my running in summer.

At this time of year the valley gets very little sun, so temperatures stay very low. The waterfalls cover the cliff faces with ice. Every few minutes there’s a loud crash as lumps of ice fall to the valley floor.

Wengen, by contrast, gets more and more sun as winter wears on.

A nice walk. Uptown Lights at the Alpine Hotel this evening.
