Do they think that people visit Switzerland for their engineers rather than for their mountains. Are they willing to sacrifice one of the most emblematic views of the Alps and the symbol of Switzerland for this nonsense?
While some common sense is gaining ground worldwide and mountain projects tend to minimise impact it seems that here the opposite is going on.
