The World

For today’s Geoquiz we are looking for a beautiful Swiss Valley that’s abuzz with helicopters transporting avid skiers looking for snow to higher ground. The answer is the Lauterbrunnen Valley. The BBC’s Imogen Foulkes takes us there to find out how residents feel about the post-ski-season sound of hovering helicopters.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
