Have you had enough of car queues, traffic and hard-to-find parking spaces? Leave your car behind and come up to Chamois!
At an altitude of 1815 meters and only accessible on foot, by bike or by cable car, Chamois is just the place for you, where the fresh breeze blowing down from the Matterhorn valley will make you forget the heat and stress of the city.
Who hasn't looked at the starry sky on a moonless night to reunite with themselves? Sometimes, however, the naked eye is not enough to pick up the “celestial keys” ... and that is why ever more sophisticated devices and observatories have been invented.
The term “gliding” generally refers to flight without an engine, usually by means of a glider that is pulled into the air by a motorized aircraft until it takes off and is finally capable of free flight using only wind energy and the force of lift, whereby weather conditions and the pilot's experience are decisive. It is a slow and elegant flourish, with straight glides and steep soaring flights using only the wind: a distinction is made between thermal flights, which use the warm updrafts in a spiral, dynamic flights, which use the wind currents to overcome slopes, and the heaviest type of gliding, which follows the waves and “surfs” on the oscillating movements of the air which “crests” over the mountain ranges.
