All about the book: fabianlang.net/schweizer-bergwelten

For three years Fabian Lang has been at a treasure hunt for extraordinary data, information and imagery throughout the Swiss mountains, archives and open source catalogues.

With the invaluable help from experts and scientists in fields of climatology, cartography, glaciology etc. the art director and information designer turned all that stunning data into visual stories accessible to everyone.

The result are 200 pages full of images, infographics and data visualisations that tell the story of the bearded vultures following their GPS data (via Paris to the Netherlands) or the history and future of the alps biggest glaciers. The book undertakes an investigation of the mountain flora and fauna based on the sightings of 30 000 contributors. Also: human-wolf coexistence, climate change, gender (in)equality, energy transition, Swiss cartography and the most popular surnames throughout the elevations levels.

«Swiss Mountains – 100 Infographics with Foresight» is a 200-page strong book published in Switzerland by the publisher Helvetiq in French and German and sold worldwide.
