What should I pack for a winter trip?
Layers, a waterproof jacket, and good gloves are essential. The village is often milder than the slopes, but wind chill can make -10 °C feel much colder. Sunscreen and sunglasses are needed – the sun reflects strongly off snow.
Can I see the Matterhorn from the village?
