Monika and Ernst Schnegg found it difficult to single out one experience. “The whole entire week was a highlight,” they agreed. They use a lot of superlatives to describe their holiday. They emphasise the silence and tranquillity of the car-free resorts of Mürren and Wengen. “Falling asleep in the evening surrounded by mountains, waking up the next morning surrounded by mountains. There's something magical about that,” said Monika. They described Mürren as pristine. “A single ride in the Allmendhubel cable car and you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere.” Speaking of the Allmendhubel. Here, Ernst got to grips with the toboggan run while his wife skied. “I've done the bob run to Mürren over half a dozen times.” The curling lesson in the sports centre propelled the pair onto unfamiliar ground. This was likely to be the last time the pair will venture onto black ice. Neither really felt at home here. “But I really enjoyed it," says Monika, who turns out to be the more gifted of the two. Ernst was surprised by how tricky the sport is. “I will never laugh again when curling is shown on TV.” The pair were much more comfortable in the wellness area of the sports centre.  The soothing massage and bubble bath ensured that they didn’t suffer any sore muscles from skiing, sledging or curling the next day. “From the water we were able to enjoy the amazing panoramic mountain view,” Monika enthused. Likewise with brunch on the Schilthorn and the Thrill Walk at Birg. Her husband said the view of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau was “indescribable,” noting that “words don’t do it justice.” If he had to pick his favourite experience, Ernst thinks it would probably be the Chänelegg Trail, a snowshoe hike lasting about two hours. “Through the snow towards the rising sun – a dream.” The Apollo Run was an adventurous end to the pair’s five days in Mürren. With the exception of Monika, everyone, including the film crew, fell at least once. High time for the transfer to Wengen...
