The helicopter lifts from Bern-Belp and the low, clipped hum of the rotors becomes the soundtrack to a changing map below. Fields give way to green bowls of alpine villages, lakes flash turquoise, and then the mountains pull forward — the Eiger’s gritty north face, Mönch’s rounded profile, and the white ridge of the Jungfrau closing like a crown. The pilot points out the Sphinx station at Jungfraujoch and the distinctive ring of the Piz Gloria restaurant; glaciers carve pale veins down steep faces and seem to dare you to keep up.
