At dusk, head for the Col du Wettstein for a short hike accompanied by a guide with a passion for astronomy. The walk begins gently through the forest, as the light fades and the first stars make their appearance...
You'll then reach a high-altitude meadow, far from any light pollution, to make yourself comfortable and look up at the sky.
