Trip cancellation under group travel is more compli cated than personal trips and can be very expensive. You may want to investigate evacuation insurance also as getting hurt outside the US can be extremely expensive to get to a hospital. Contact your own insurance agent for assistance CANCELLATIONS Group travel has very strict cancellation policies. Hotel, air and tour operator each have cancellation charges based on when you cancel. The club has a minimum cancellation fee of $50.00. Contact trip leader for more information. In very rare cases, a scheduled trip may be affected by weather conditions and specifically lack of snow at the destination. In these circumstances, the travel chair and/or trip leader will work with the tour operator to re-design a trip and offer an alternate and comparable destination. If it becomes necessary to cancel a trip, the club and members may incur monetary loss including but not limited to various cancellation fees, deposits, rebooking fees and airline penalties. The club will, to the best of its ability, return money to the member and this will be determined by the Board of Directors as the cancelled trip is reconciled. In the event no reimbursement is obtained, the members may lose their deposits and/or payments..

  • Easy Four-Thousanders in the Alps: Between Alpinism and Mass Tourism
    12 GEOGRAPHY AND TOURISM, Vol. 6, No. 2 (2018), 119-128, Semi-Annual Journal eISSN 2449-9706, ISSN 2353-4524, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.2144166 © Copyright by Kazimierz Wielki University Press, 2018. All Rights Reserved. http://geography.and.tourism.ukw.edu.pl Marcin Gorączko UTP University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Architecture, Bydgoszcz, Poland, email: [email protected] Easy four-thousanders in the Alps: between alpinism and mass tourism Abstract: The article discusses natural and anthropogenic conditions of the present-day exploration of five Alpine moun- tain peaks – selected for the purpose of the present paper – standing at 4000 meters above sea level or higher, includ- ing Allalinhorn, Breithorn, Gran Paradiso, Punta Gnifetti (Signalkuppe) and Zumsteinspitze, which are referred to as easy Alpine four-thousanders. A common belief that the summits are easily accessible contributes to a higher volume of tourists in their region, which, besides favorable and relatively safe natural conditions, is further facilitated by intensive development of tourism infrastructure including mountain huts and most of all mountain railways. The analysis of the contemporary phenomenon of climbing easy four-thousanders almost on a massive scale provides basis for a discussion on the ongoing human impact on the environment in the highest Alps and the blurring of boundaries between a sport and elite mountain feat that requires both special qualifications and considerable experience and an objectively average achievement accessible to almost every physically fit tourist. Key words: alpine four-thousanders, Alpine tourism, mass tourism 1. Introduction Mountain areas are home to diverse tourist century (Kurek, 2004), its development on activities which irrespective of their nature a mass scale is a relatively new phenomenon.

Viele ansässige Familien lebten bis ins 20. Jahrhundert hinein als Nomaden: Sie wohnten den Sommer über in den verschiedenen Weilern in der Umgebung von Zermatt und kehrten erst bei Wintereinbruch ins Dorf zurück. So ist es nicht verwunderlich, dass jede Bergschaft ihre Kapelle baute, um auch im Sommer an einem Ort der Anbetung Gott nahe zu sein. Noch heute zeugen jährlich mehr als 100’000 entzündete Kerzen in diesen heiligen Stätten von dem Bedürfnis nach stiller Einkehr und Gedenken. Wir möchten Sie, werte Gäste, mit den Sagen, die unsere Kapellen umranken, gelebten und vergessenen Ritualen sowie kunsthistorischen Besonderheiten – kurz: mit der Geschichte dieser heiligen Orte bekannt machen. Und wir emp - fehlen Ihnen, wenn Sie von Ihrer Wanderung ins Dorf zurückgekehrt sind, die Pfarrkirchen und die anglikanische Kirche St. Peter in Zermatt zu besuchen. Angrenzend an die Dorfkirchen befinden sich die Bergsteigerfriedhöfe. Wie einerseits der Älpler auf der Alp den Segen über Tiere und Felder sprach, so brachte er durch den Bau von Kapellen das Bedürfnis nach Gemeinschaft im Glauben zum Ausdruck. Durch Ihren Besuch werden diese architektonischen Kleinode zu Orten konfessions- und religionsübergreifen - der Spiritualität und mit Lebendigkeit gefüllt.

  • The Discovery of the Valais Alps
    150 years of winter tourism The discovery of the Valais Alps For a long time, the inhabitants of the mountain regions lived in fear of their surroundings. As the haunt of spirits and demons, the mountains possessed an eerie quality. This view began to change only slowly with the coming of the Age of Enlightenment (from 1730). People began to look at the mountains differently, started to recognise their beauty. The Alps become a natural wonder, a miracle of nature attracting visitors and scientists from all over Europe. The emergence of the railways in neighbouring countries from 1830 onwards played a decisive role in the development of tourism in Switzerland. Although the country was not to get its own rail network for another 30 years or so, Switzerland was already benefiting from rail travel in Europe, which brought tourists to its borders, from where they could continue their journey by stagecoach or the like. The same was true of the Valais. Wealthy British citizens soon made their way here, marking the beginnings of tourism. In 1863, Englishman Thomas Cook played a pioneering role by organising the first-ever package tour to Switzerland, a trip that also took in the Valais, including the Col de la Forclaz, Leukerbad and the Gemmi Pass. The steady expansion of Switzerland’s own rail network stimulated this new travel trend, causing a range of hotels to spring up in all the tourist destinations. The Valais benefited greatly from the Simplon railway tunnel, which opened in 1906, for the railway now brought additional tourists from the south and spread the fame of the Valais and its resorts around the globe.
