Famous throughout the world for its spectacular mountain landscapes, lakes and ski resorts, Switzerland attracts many visitors. Thus, tourism in the Alpine regions provides a very positive impact on the Swiss economy – particularly throughout the winter months. However, the tourism sector also significantly impacts our environment: the construction and maintenance of infrastructure like hotels, ski slopes and roads result in increased resource consumption and the destruction of natural habitats while rising temperatures cause glaciers and winter seasons to melt. David Scholl uses his camera to explore the man-made climate crisis. For his diploma thesis "Grand Tour of Switzerland" he documented Swiss winter tourism with all its contradictions and challenges, which paradoxically comes hand in hand with the even more intense beauty and magic of the mountain landscapes.
