It is true that you need some courage to do this, but you don't need to start at the level of the pro Simon Ammann: At the small ski jump in Marbach, in the UNESCO biosphere Entlebuch, first time "flyers" get the opportunity to actually fly. Experts instruct the flyers and you take all imaginable safety precautions. The fact that the actual distance jumped usually differs substantially from the distance you feel that you jumped does not diminish the fun.

It doesn't have to be the high North: a little bit of elevation is enough. Enormous fish tumble about in the waters of the frozen lakes of Melchsee-Frutt, at 2000 meters above sea level. Gusti Berchtold knows exactly where to find these fish. The experienced ice fisherman takes you to the best places to fish, helps you drill a hole in the ice and is always very helpful and ready with advice. Even if you don't catch anything, you have at least a spectacular view of the fairy-tale scenery.

Stay overnight in your self-built igloo, eat under the star-studded sky and take a snowshoe hike: The outdoor weekend on Mt. Pizol offers everything you need for a little winter adventure. The campsite is located 2,226 meters above sea level near the mountain station of the Pizol cable car. A fondue for dinner and an expedition sleeping bag for the night will keep you warm. On the second day you will experience another highlight: Conquering Mt. Pizol with snowshoes.
