Some of Switzerland's most famous ski resorts have compiled a report on how to cope with climate change.

Snow in the Alpine region has been scarce this winter - one of the warmest since records began.

The resorts, including Gstaadt and Murren, are the first in the Alps to begin planning for a future experts say will contain much less snow.

The report, published on Monday, tells lower lying resorts to diversify or go to the wall.
