Some mountain resorts and scenic trains, such as the Glacier Express, are adapted for people with disabilities, offering special access and facilities. However, high mountain trails, with steep slopes and uneven terrain, may be difficult or inaccessible. Ski resorts and cable cars often provide accessible options, but it is advisable to check in advance for specific accessibility details. Extreme weather conditions and altitude may also pose additional risks for people who are pregnant or have pre-existing health conditions.
