As you can see there was plenty of snow there too - and sub-zero temperatures. South-East Switzerland was experiencing night-time lows of -22C!
The view over the city was amazing:
Walking on the Uetliberg was treacherous with very icy conditions underfoot, but it did look like something out of Narnia.
The restaurant at the summit gave stunning views - it's unusual to see the Alps from Zurich - usually a bad weather sign!
A very enjoyable trip. Nearly didn't make it back as the plane had technical problems in Gatwick and was more than 2 hours late arriving in Zurich! We made take-off with 1 minute to go before the 23:50 noise curfew came into force. It meant we didn't get home until 02:30 the next morning.
