Abstract

Based on unique data from a survey, this paper examines the climate change adaptation strategies of Swiss cable car companies. The analysis shows that a) the companies are implementing several adaptation measures at the same time, b) the companies are pursuing one of three identified adaptation strategies, and c) companies with different physical and commercial characteristics are also pursuing different strategies.
