Abstract or Summary

Hiking is very popular in Switzerland with all age groups of the population and with tourists from Switzerland and abroad. In surveys, more than two thirds of the summer and half of all winter guests name the hiking trails as an important aspect of what a tourist destination has to offer. An attractive, safe and uniformly signaled network of hiking trails is not only indispensable for tourism reasons. The comprehensive infrastructure is also important for health policy, because it is practically on everyone's doorstep and encourages people to move about in the great outdoors. It also makes a contribution to promoting sustainable leisure travel. The economic value of an attractive network of hiking trails should therefore not be underestimated.
