A changing mountain landscape
Declining snow cover, shorter ski seasons and changing avalanche risks: what they mean for the future of Swiss skiing.
OUR FIRST COMMUNITY MEETING
I’m Davide Palisi, and I’m hosting a meeting with the help of Custodia Wealth Management to discuss the impacts of climate change on our mountains, the Swiss ski industry and the people whose lives are connected to them.

WHY I’M BRINGING US TOGETHER
When you love the mountains, you don’t only care about your next day on the slopes. You care about who will get to experience them after you.
For me, skiing is a feeling of freedom: cold air, open space, and a view that makes everyday worries feel a little smaller. I want that feeling to remain possible for others. I want a first day on skis, a winter shared with friends, or a quiet moment looking at the peaks to be something people can look forward to for years to come.
But the mountains are more than a place we visit. They are home, work and community. Behind every ski season are people whose livelihoods depend on it. Their voices deserve to be part of the conversation about what happens next.
That is the purpose of this meeting. With the help of Custodia Wealth Management, I’m bringing this conversation to Badrutt’s Palace on 9 January 2027: a chance to listen, understand the impacts of climate change, and explore ideas for protecting what we share.
One meeting will not solve everything. But it can be the moment someone feels heard, a new idea takes shape, or people decide to act together. I hope you’ll be part of that beginning.
