Swiss company touts naked attractions

UNTERWASSER, Switzerland - June 26, 2009 - Toggenburger Bergbahnen AG says that, apart from the usual breathtaking panorama and mountain wildlife, tourists might catch sight of ramblers wearing only hiking boots and socks.

The company released a new advertising campaign Thursday claiming that "mountain goats, eagles and maybe even a few naked hikers make riding the aerial tramway a real experience."

The company's campaign would find little favor in the neighboring canton (state) of Appenzell. Voters there passed a law in April banning naked hiking after dozens of nudists, mostly German, started rambling through their picturesque region.
