“From the terrace of the cathedral, I saw the lake above the roofs, the mountains above the lake, the clouds above the mountains, and the stars above the clouds. It was like a staircase where my thoughts climbed up step by step and broadened at each new height.” Victor Hugo

Invite your peak performers to perform at, on, around and between Glacier 3000’s twin peaks.
As an added “world’s first” attraction the twin peaks at Glacier 3,000 are now connected by an amazing 1.8 million Swiss Franc suspension bridge.
So why not join the 2 Mile High club and walk into space while admiring stunning views over some of the Alps highest peaks and the beautiful Engadin valley.
And let Dino and his team at Welcome Swiss DMC design you a menu of exciting and entertaining seasonal activities to suit your winners’ profile.
For those warmer months, while there is still snow and fabulous cross country skiing, choose from a wealth of non-snow activities and for the colder times perhaps a Winter Olympics with options to do all things snow. Check out Dino’s concept proposal Glacier 3000
Add high end, high class service hotels and evenings of fine dining to truly reward your peak performers.

This tart, from the beautiful Swiss region of Engadine, is made from shortcrust pastry and a filling of chopped walnuts, cream and honey. Perfect for that mid-afternoon pick-me-up, this dessert is sweet, indulgent and a genuine taste of Switzerland!
For the shortcrust:
250g plain flour
100g butter
80g sugar
1 egg
1 pinch of salt
For the filling:
200g sugar
200g walnuts
200ml heavy cream
1 tablespoon honey
Directions:
Place the flour in a mixing bowl. Cut the butter into small pieces and rub the flour and butter between the tips of your fingers. Add sugar and egg and blend quickly to a smooth dough.
Cool the dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour and let it stand for 30 minutes at room temperature before you use it.
Roll out 1/3 of the dough on a lightly floured piece of baking paper to the size of the tart ring. Store in the fridge until needed. This will be the top of the tart.
Grease and place a 22 cm round, 3 cm high pastry ring on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Alternatively, grease and line the base of a 22 cm round, 3 cm-high cake pan. Roll out the remaining 2/3 of the pastry on a lightly floured piece of baking paper to 30 cm diameter. Transfer to the pastry ring or cake pan and press the pastry into the corners and allow for a small overlap at the top edge. Prick the base lightly with a fork and store in the fridge until required.
In a small saucepan caramelize sugar until light brown, stir in coarsely chopped nuts and mix well. Add the cream and honey and bring to the boil.
Let the mixture cool a bit and spread filling evenly on the pastry and cover with the rest of the dough that you rolled out for the top. Bake for 30-40 minutes on 180°C, Gas Mark 4.
