Switzerland is pretty effective at assimilating second generation migrants thanks to the dual education system. The kids of your countrymen are probably all in middle class jobs and raising a family.
Could you expand on the education system and how it helps assimilate second-generation migrants? Thanks.
They are only reachable by multiple hours hiking high up in the mountains. That's a lot of "work" just for the chance of a few hundred CHF.
Backpacker territory has a certain kind of trust.
Being that close to nature long enough does things to a person. It's outside of something easily described with any human words.
That was nicely described. I can totally understand it. Never thought about it that way :)
This is true - hikers are usually self selecting that way. But the sentiment doesn't hold in general I'd say.
I've experienced this even in French mountain huts, during winter there is no guardian and usually only part of the hut is available for whoever comes. Use fuel, any other material, leave some money behind. Everybody chipped in. Pretty good to keep them running long term, it ain't easy or well paid job.
