What are some of Switzerland's natural resources?
Content: Don’t expect to see much nature when travelling by train from Zurich to Bern! Mostly railroad yards, stations, industry and the soulless dwellings of the new Working Poor for some 70 minutes. Even the lower areas of the Alps have changed a lot in this way, development, population increase and lots of tourist infrastructure such as roads, ski gondolas, hotels, vacation homes, restaurants, skiing runs and sports venues. On some days, certain spots in the Alps look like Disneyland. You stand in line for everything, buying souvenirs, your lunch, at the cabin that takes you to the viewpoint or at the lifts. The higher Alps are changing in a more general way by human impact, as the average temperature of Switzerland has increased by 1.5 degrees C already. Instead of remaining snow-covered, more and more peaks are becoming devoid of snow for summer now, giving them a distinct look reminiscent of interior Provence. Or the Rockies! Only the highest altitudes are not affected as much by this just yet. Switzerland lacks true national park surface.
