The locations of 750 calendar images of Switzerland spanning the years from 1951 to 2000 have been assessed. By far the greatest number of landscape images are from the Alps, more specifically from tourist regions, such as the Jungfrau and Aletsch region, Zermatt, Matterhorn, the Oberengadin, Bernina,the Santis and Churfirsten. It would be fairly safe to say that the landscapes that appear on calendars act as « ambassadors »for promoting Switzerland as an attractive country. Any areas of degraded or ruined landscape only serves to reduce this potential.
