secret among winter resorts.

Eternal snow: Up at 3,020 m, winter lasts all year. Of course, this fascinates the many visitors from all over the world who arrive at the glacier from Lucerne in barely an hour; but the local snowboarding and freeskiing community also greatly values the year-round snow and the benefits it brings.

the style here is pleasantly retro –
