My phone started pinging at about 10 this morning – weather alerts from Swiss Meteo warning of a wind storm. Sure enough, the ski lifts began to close, and by lunchtime Kleine Scheidegg had completely shut down.

To make matters worse, the gondola over at Grindelwald seems to have a technical problem, and it too has been closed since coffee time this morning. Männlichen managed to keep a couple of lifts open until mid-afternoon, but the storm is a big one and I think the authorities wanted everyone off the mountain. Not a good day for the many weekenders who arrived yesterday evening.
