Well, this again shows how theory and practical matters differ.
Most of the Swiss population (probably > 95%) lives in the so-called
"Mittelland" (middle land) which lies at 350-550 meters (~1000-1600 ft)
between the two primary mountain ranges of the Jura and the Swiss Alps.
The mountains are not that densely populated (for practical reasons..)
