Swiss Avalanche Hazard Maps
Abstract This paper describes the various maps concerned with avalanche hazards in Switzerland and gives examples of parts of specimen maps. These include the Wald- und Lawinenkarte der Schweiz (1907) at 1 : 250 000 which marks actual avalanche paths, the Karte der lawinengefährdeten Gebiete (1972)...
