A Mountain Wedding Survival Guide
These Jimmy Choos weren’t made for walking
We understand that you want to dress up for our wedding. We’ve picked out special outfits too? Our location will take your breath away, we promise. Whilst we are not expecting you to hike for 3 hours to get to there (we’ve arranged a cable car especially to transport you up), the footpaths to the venue are hiking trails and we want you to get there safely. Flat shoes or boots are really the best options.
Bring Sunscreen
Do you remember the time we posted pictures of ourselves with terrible panda eyes during a summer skiing trip on the glacier? At higher altitudes, the sun is stronger but you don’t necessarily feel the heat, which means you burn much faster, often without realising until it’s too late. Put on a high factor sunscreen and bring a small one with you to top up with during the day. A small lip balm is also nice to keep your lips moist.

Hydrate
It’s a wedding. Of course, we’re going to celebrate and have a few drinks. But at higher altitudes, alcohol has a stronger effect on the body, meaning you will get drunk faster than you would normally. You’ll also dehydrate much faster, so drinking lots of water throughout the day is really going to make you feel better.
Four Seasons in One Day
One of the reasons we love being in the mountains is the feeling of being completely surrounded by nature. And sometimes the power of nature can be pretty mighty. It’s not impossible to experience some pretty extreme weather conditions so it’s good to be prepared. We’ll try to keep everyone updated on the weather forecast before the wedding, but make sure you are prepared for wind, rain, sunshine and snow. Hopefully, we won’t experience all four seasons in one day, but it can happen. We’ll have a backup plan in place for really bad weather, but a bit of rain isn’t going to stop us.
Take A Deep Breath And Open Your Eyes
We want you to have a great day with us and enjoy the location as much as we do. We find that sometimes the best way to experience and connect with a place is to take a moment alone (or with someone you love) and just sit for a moment in silence and enjoy the magnificent world that we live in.
