At first light the coach threads out of Zurich into the green sweep of Swiss lowlands, then climbs toward the Bernese Alps. Cable cars hum open-mouthed at Birg and Schilthorn stations, lifting you to 2,970 m where wind and rock rewrite scale—Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau line the horizon while Lake Thun glints below. On the Skyline Walk a glass platform turns vertigo into vantage; the Thrill Walk clings to the cliff like a dare.
