The «La Côte» region extends from Morges to Nyon. the hilly landscape between the Jura and lake is one of the biggest wine-growing areas in Switzerland. Particularly between Aubonne and Rolle there are many typical wine-grower villages, such as Féchy. The town of Montreux nestles in a sheltered Lake Geneva bay, surrounded by vineyards and against the breathtaking backdrop of snow-covered Alps. Because of the exceptionally mild climate Montreux is called the capital of the Vaud Riviera. Plants associated with the Mediterranean, such as pines, cypresses and palm trees grow here. Charlie Chaplin, Freddie Mercury and several other famous people of world-renown lived and continue to live on the Vaud Riviera. Meet your tour guide and get prepared for the adventure. Briefing and short introduction ride on your e-Bike. Leaving sparkling Lake Geneva behind your ride takes the old Cheese Route to Gruyeres. This pretty village perched on its hill attracts thousands of tourists every year who all fall prey to its medieval charms. B,D, Hotel Des Chevaliers Tuesday Guyeres – Boltigen Approx. 64 Km / 40 miles The clanking of cow bells will be your constant companion on this stretch. This is dairying country at its best. B,D, Hotel Simmental Wednesday Boltigen – Iseltwald Approx. 73 Km / 46 miles Lake Thun and Lake Brienz are framed by the snowy peaks of the Bernese Aps - a panorama that doesn't get better than this B,D, Hotel Du Lac Thursday Iseltwald – Lucerne Approx. 59 Km / 37 miles The Brünig Pass is an exciting challenge for some, a steep obstacle for others. Just as long as you know that the cable car at Meiringen can whisk you up to Hasliberg and from there it is pretty much a downhill ride all the way - along Lake Lungern and Lake Sarnen to the shores of Lake Lucerne. Lucerne, the gateway to central Switzerland, sited on Lake Lucerne, is embedded within an impressive mountainous panorama. Thanks to its attractions, its souvenir and watch shops, the beautiful lakeside setting and the nearby excursion mountains of the Rigi, Pilatus and Stanserhorn, the town is a destination for many travellers on their journey through central Switzerland. B, L, hotel Ambassador/De la paix in Lucerne Friday Lucerne – Pfaffikon Approx. 55 Km / 30 miles First we take a boat ride and discover the beauties of the lake Lucerne before we bike from Brunnen via Oberiberg and Ybrig to Einsiedeln. The Rothenthurm high moorland is a precious tract of open countryside. After the busy world of pilgrims in Einsiedeln is the most important place of pilgrimage dedicated to the Virgin Mary in Switzerland. The high valley of Einsiedeln located in the heart of Central Switzerland is characterised by moors and Lake Sihl, the biggest reservoir in Switzerland in terms of area. From Lake Sihl it's down valley to the shores of Lake Zurich where we get to Pfäffikon from where we travel to Zurich - our final destination of our trip. SUBJECT TO PROGRAMME AND HOTEL CHANGES!

  • Origin and Flux of a Gas Seep in the Northern Alps (Giswil, Switzerland)
    Geofluids (2010) 10, 476–485 doi: 10.1111/j.1468-8123.2010.00302.x Origin and flux of a gas seep in the Northern Alps (Giswil, Switzerland) G.

However, they can provide useful information regarding the hydrocarbon potential of sedimentary Alpine units and related geofluid migration, typically con- trolled by pressurized gas accumulations and tectonics. A gas seep located near Giswil, in the Swiss Northern Alps, was investigated, for the first time, for molecular and isotopic gas composition, methane flux to the atmo- sphere, and gas flux variations over time. The analyses indicated that the gas was thermogenic (CH4 > 96%; 13 13 d C1: )35.5& to )40.2&) and showed evidence of subsurface petroleum biodegradation ( C-enriched CO2, and very low C3+ concentrations). The source rock in the region is marine Type II kerogen, which is likely the same as that providing thermogenic gas in the nearby Wilen shallow well, close to Lake Sarnen.

  • Toward an Open-Access of High-Frequency Lake Modelling and Statistics Data for Scientists and Practitioners

Toward an open-access of high-frequency lake modelling and statistics data for scientists and practitioners. The case of Swiss Lakes using Simstrat v2.1 Adrien Gaudard1†, Love Råman Vinnå1, Fabian Bärenbold1, Martin Schmid1, Damien Bouffard1 5 1Surface Waters Research and Management, Eawag, Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Sciences and Technology, Kastanienbaum, Switzerland † deceased, 2019 Correspondence to: Damien Bouffard ([email protected]) Abstract 10 One-dimensional hydrodynamic lake models are nowadays widely recognized as key tools. They offer the possibility to study processes at high frequency, here referring to hourly time scale, to analyse scenarios and test hypothesizes. Yet, simulation outputs are mainly used by the modellers themselves and often not easily reachable for the outside community. We have developed an openly accessible web-based platform for visualization and promotion of easy access to lake model output data updated in near real time (simstrat.eawag.ch). This platform was developed for 54 lakes in Switzerland with potential for 15 adaptation to other regional areas or even at global worldwide scale using appropriate forcing input data. The benefit of this data platform is here practically illustrated with two examples. First we show that the output data allows for assessing the long term effects of past climate change on the thermal structure of a lake. In the second case, we demonstrate how the data platform can be used to study and compare the role of episodic strong wind events for different lakes on a regional scale and especially how they temporary destabilize their thermal structure.
