a winter holiday in Switzerland is being
more largely adopted of late years. for all
who try It discover the country is more
lovely in winter than in summer. During
December. January, and February In the
high Swiss attitudes there are never any
stormy days. and winter sports, such as
tobogganing. skating. hockey on ice and
sleighing all offer ample opportunity for
fun.
All this gayety has developed within a
few years. Fifteen years ago shrewd
man opened a big hotel at Grindelwald in
winter and the inhabitants around about
were filed with amazelnent at the wild
Idea. for nobody imagined II would ever
be anything but a big failure. Yet last
winter guests had to be turned away
New roads are being built, new hotels
springing up for the express aceommOda-
tIon Of the winter travellers. Skating and
tobogganing on the Engadine have become
famous and the growth Of the popularity OF
St. Moritz Is marvellous. Anything more
beautiful than the lake there after the first
frost before the snow has fallen cannot be
imagined, while the ice-tObogganing Is the
fastest in the world.
