Morning light lifts off Lake Zurich as the private car eases onto the motorway and the city gives way to ribboning green pastures and distant rock faces. By mid-morning the Eiger’s flank starts to dominate the view above Grindelwald — chalets and flower boxes shrink against a backdrop of jagged snowfields — and the driver pauses for photo-friendly pullouts.
