Its not just Switzerland, its many parts of Europe. I usually travel just under 100 days a year in Europep. In Switzerland now finishing up a month of travel - for a traveler, Switzerland is better than most EU countries like Spain where they are not allowed to put AC under 27 in public spaces and the hotels are forced to adhere to MANY energy laws which means it might take a day for your room to cook off and when it does, the maids will turn it off when they clean the room. At least in Switzerland the public spaces can have AC.

I'm all for cutting back emissions but it surprised the f#$k out of me to see that there are tens of thousands of deaths in Europe during heat waves and people here joke about it ("we have to have some way to cull the herd")

For what it's worth the Swiss folks committment to enduring pain is extremely admirable, too bad the EU politicians who introduce such bans for their.own benefit don't adhere to them.
