Surviving in the Swiss mountains: The Swiss Army's mountain specialists train foreign military personnel as part of the Partnership for Peace, a collaboration between Switzerland and NATO. We joined them on a ski tour from the Gemsstock via Gloggentürmli to the Gotthard Pass, followed by an overnight stay in a bivouac in the snow.
