Activities: We took the cable car to Ebenalp. We saw that there was hardly anything going on in the ski area. We walked around, but did not go further because of the snow. "I discovered, unfortunately only when we went back down, that there were free snowshoes and poles to borrow at the mountain station."
Highlights: The cable car ride was spectacular ✨
