Outline.- Climate Change in the Alps
- Tactical / practical approach
- Strategic / theoretical approach

Influence on the Alps.- Safety Issues
- Permafrost, flooding
- Touristic Attractions
- Glaciers melting, water sports
- Snow Sports
- Snow safety endangered

Practical (tactical) approach.- Technical
- Smoothing surface, moving higher up, snow making, cover glaciers
- Non-technical
- Diversification of offering
- Expansion/change of seasons
- Financial compensation
- Radical
- Snow hal
- Retreat from tourism
15 I Future of Tourism/ M. Nydegger/ 31.5.07
Theoretic (strategic) approach.- 2004 - Scenario analysis
- Not solely climate or snow: Secondos on Snow, Ski camp responsibility, new family offerings, destination leader, barrier removal, winter sport idols
- 2007 - Evaluation of topics
- Gap detection in the expert jungle
- Best use of existing knowledge
- Set up expert group 2030

Outlook.- Summer
☺Warmer and dryer, alpine summer freshness, Swiss cities
+3 ºC = 80% of glacier surface suffers
- Winter
☺ Advantage of larger & snow-realiable skiresort, +2 ºC = 80% remain snow-reliable
Smaller ski resorts in lower altitude enter the viscous circle
