Peer out of a huge glass windows at one of the mountain-railway stations inside the Eiger where trains making for the Jungfraujoch (reputedly the highest railway station in Europe) pause while you admire the astonishing glimpse of the ice wall and crevasses on the North Face.

These windows are sometimes used as a short cut to launch rescues on the fearsome rock wall.
