You step off the panoramic coach as alpine air slices through the window—clean, thin, and cold enough to sharpen attention. The First cable car whisks you above dark firs and pasture, depositing you on a wind-swept ridge where the Eiger stares down with a white, jagged face and the valley breathes beneath.
