A cool bell of silence falls over the valley as the guide clips on the last pair of snowshoes and you step off the cleared road. The air is thin and sharp; fir needles creak underfoot and the peaks of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau dominate the skyline, their north faces catching the first light. You move slowly into a white world where tracks erase in a single snowfall and a frozen stream hisses under a thin crust of ice.
