INTERLAKEN - Easter Monday sent a long line of cars toward Bern and Zurich as the holiday closed. Trains from the Jungfrau region filled in the opposite direction of Saturday. Cable-car companies said the snow line was still high enough to keep some summer paths shut.
Guides told walkers not to treat April as July. That advice will be repeated after the mid-month dump, in our avalanche report.
Shoulder season, real snow
Climate talk has stretched the idea of a spring holiday. Gravity has not signed it. Several high routes will wait for a crust that is not this week's crust.
