Bernese Oberland, Switzerland
Don't waste your best vacation day on the wrong mountain
A clear PEAK, MAYBE or SKIP for every big Swiss mountain excursion — the cable-car and cogwheel-railway viewpoints from Jungfraujoch to the Matterhorn — read straight off the summit weather: cloud base, visibility, and the timetable. We say plainly whether it's worth going up today, and whether tomorrow beats it. Switzerland first, more countries soon.
