Minus 11 when we got up this morning, and by the time we left the house it was still minus 10. But it’s a beautiful sunny day, so we dress up warm and head up to Männlichen. Despite the intense cold, it’s quite busy.

We ski up and down for a while on lovely pistes, trying not to freeze on the chairlifts.

By about midday it’s a fair bet we can find an empty gondola down at Holenstein, which makes all the difference as we can thaw out on the way back up the hill. We paused for lunch and started again – it’s always much quieter in the afternoon.

A good day, but I’m looking forward to a hot shower.
