You step off the gondola into a thin, biting air and the world narrows to white and wind. At 3,020 metres the glacier sharpens edges: the Rotair cable car has turned you slowly toward cliffs, the suspension bridge and the bright mouth of the Glacier Cave. Nearby, the Snow Experience Park at Trübsee plays host to giggles, minibobs and beginner slopes where a guide will shepherd your first turns.
