Investment competition among Swiss ski areas
Annals of Tourism Research Empirical InsightsIn recent years, ski area operators in Switzerland have faced decreasing demand while ski lift and snowmaking capabilities have increased – partly using financial aid from public funds. It is therefore crucial to determine to what extent ski area investment supports demand and affects the competition for the remaining guests.

Dynaski, an Agent-based Model to Simulate Skiers in a Ski area
Procedia Computer Science, 2017 Abstract: During winter holidays, most ski resorts expect a lot of skiers, who then congest the ski lifts in the corresponding ski areas. This article presents the first full multi-agent model of skiers in a ski area. Our purpose is to offer a decision-making tool for the operator and design engineering.

The development of ski areas and its relation to the Alpine economy in Switzerland
Swiss Journal of Economics and StatisticsAbstractCableways alleviate access to the Alps and were crucial in establishing the skiing tourism boom of the after-war years. Moreover, cableway operators employ a large share of residents, are complemented by tourism-related services and are therefore a key economic pillar in otherwise laggard regions. We exploit comprehensive historical data of all
