With an elevation of 1,312 ft above sea level Zurich is significantly higher than Bristol (36 ft) though still not high enough to be a winter wonderland. And so most of the time the town looks a bit like Bristol when the extreme weather hit Britain this winter. But when it´s cloudy and rainy or wet and grey, it´s always a good idea to catch the next train to the Uetliberg and explore Zurich´s strange version of the Eiffel tower which I see every day from my bedroom window. No matter how grey it might look in town, 1,600 ft or 25 minutes higher it looks completely different. Be sure to pack a sledge. To answer the question I got asked so many times recently: yes we still have snow and hell yes, it is fun!
