Global warming challenges winter tourism. The process is slow, but its effects are already perceptible. We can no longer expect regular snowfall from December to Easter. In addition, these occur later and later. Low altitude resorts are the first to be affected, but the phenomenon does not only affect certain ski lift companies. These are destinations and entire regions that must review their strategic orientation.

Should we continue skiing at all costs? When is it best to pull the plug? Faced with these questions, those in the tourism sector do not intend to remain inactive. Resulting from the alliance between the Swiss Ski Lifts (RMS), the Swiss Association of Tourism Managers (ASMT) and Switzerland Tourism, the “Boussole Neige” project should enable winter destinations to explore the consequences of climate change on the “scientifically verified” database.
