Early starts, gruelling sessions and cable cars: Inside Wales' Switzerland World Cup training camp

High above a small sunkissed valley in the Swiss Alps, a flock of paragliders float silently above the treetops.

Down below, it's just as quiet. Aside from the whoosh of the occasional breeze or the gentle crashing of glacial stream that rolls through the valley, it's almost completely still. Peaceful. Beautiful.
