Healthy living in the Alps examines the relationship between the
search for relief from respiratory diseases, such as tuberculosis,
in high alpine resorts and the development in the same places of
winter sports tourism. The first winter visitors to the Swiss Alps
began to arrive in the 1860s and were encouraged to take outdoor
exercise as part of their cure regime. They also had healthy
visitors and companions who sought recreation while the invalids
were resting as part of the sanatoria routine. Demonstrating that
this is not just part of the history of Switzerland but of Britain
too, biographical backgrounds of British visitors to the resorts
give depth and context to a history of health and winter sports
tourism by looking at the kind of people who would spend months of
the year in the Alps. A discussion of the application of modern
technologies creates an overall view of the growth of health and
sports tourism in Switzerland. -- .
