  • Real Rail Adventures: Swiss Winter Magic
    Real Rail Adventures: Swiss Winter Magic 1. OC , snow scene, Who’s ready for some fun? And I mean the magical kind of chair lift or sled fun you had when you were a kid…when you woke up to find the world blanketed in snow, school cancelled, and a brand- new sled ready to ride. I’m Jeff Wilson and if you’re ready, I’ve got the ticket to take you there. Come along on Real Rail Adventures: Swiss Winter Magic. 2. Standard open [Standard open] 3. Montage, scenics There’s no place quite as magical as Switzerland in winter. It’s 07 15 19 almost like a snow globe come to life. Church spires rise above white-laced villages. Crimson horse carriages jingle along frosty streets. And shiny train cars deftly wend their way up mountainsides. 4. OC , on skis For me, the best part about winter time in Switzerland is the outdoor sports. From skiing to skating to tobogganing to snow biking, I mean this place is as good as it gets. So, a few weeks ago, I decided to pack my bags, grab my skis, and hit the snow. 5. For years I’ve been riding trains in Switzerland, and it’s by far the best way to see the country. 6. OC , train station Train travel is more popular than ever , and for good reason . It’s relaxing, eco-friendly, and it’s a great way to get to know a destination and its people. 7. Trains You can bet that the well-connected Swiss rail system will take you to some of the world’s top winter resorts.

During the following three years PhD studies, he gave the prevalent and benevolent supports on tutoring lectures, managing field trips and organizing laboratory works. During this thesis writing, his rigorous scientific approach, enlightened guidance, creativity, and encouragement are much appreciated. I greatly benefited from regular discussion with him on scientific topics that not only stick to my miniature geo/hydrology interests but also quite broaden to entire geosciences by his wisdom and extensive experience and knowledge on the subjects. My thanks also go to my second supervisor, Prof. Dr. Ingrid Stober, for her patience and numerous help during my research work. Her strong support on field trips and extensive hydrologic knowledge are greatly valuable. Particularly thanks also to Dr.

  • Programme 3 Days, 3 Peaks Over 4000M
    Welcome to the Swiss Mountaineering School grindelwaldSPORTS. 3 days, 3 peaks over 4000m The programme: Day 1 Ascent to the Allalinhorn 4027 m From our meeting point in Saas Fee we journey with the Metroalpin to Mittelallalin. We immediately leave the busy ski slopes and begin the gentle ascent to the summit. The panorama view from the top is stunning and invites us to rest. Ski descent to Felskinn and traverse to the Britannia hut. Day 2 Ski tour to the Alphubel 4206 m We get an early start and head off towards Alphubel. The alpine scenery, where crevasses line our way plus the magnificent panorama of a Matterhorn outweigh by far the steady and strenuous climb. The descent back to Saas Fee is just as impressive and before you know it we’ve taken the next cable car to Felskinn. Short renascent to the Britannia hut. Day 3 Crossing the Strahlhorn 4190 m to Zermatt We climb up to the Adlerpass and along to the summit of the Strahlhorn. We enjoy the views towards Mattmark and the whole Monte Rosa range. This 3 day trip is perfectly rounded off with a long descent down the Adler- and Findel glacier. Depending on conditions an alternative descent would be to Saas Almagell. In the afternoon we journey home from Zermatt/ Saas Almagell. What you need to know… Meeting point: 09:35 am in Saas Fee at the bus terminal. Your journey: Train journey from your home town to Saas Fee and return from Zermatt. If you travel by car, leave the car in Brig or Kandersteg and from there take the train.

  • WGMS Summer School on Glacier Mass Balance Measurements and Analysis 2‐7 September 2013 Zermatt, Switzerland
    WGMS Summer School on Glacier Mass Balance Measurements and Analysis 2‐7 September 2013 Zermatt, Switzerland draft report for ICE, the news bulletin of the International Glaciological Society In September 2013 the World Glacier Monitoring Service organized a Summer School on Mass Balance Measurements and Analysis in Switzerland. The summer school was carried out within the framework of the project “Capacity Building and Twinning for Climate Observing Systems” (CATCOS), which is led by MeteoSwiss and funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). The summer school was co‐sponsored by the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS), the Global Cryosphere Watch of the World Meteorological Organization (GCW/WMO), and the International Association of Cryospheric Sciences of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IACS/IUGG). The course was dedicated to participants from the Andes and from Asia who are involved in ongoing mass balance measurements in their regions with the aim to strengthen both the glaciological expertise and the regional exchange between observers in order to improve the availability and quality of glacier mass balance observations from these regions. So, from 80 applications a total of 15 training positions were offered to a maximum of two candidates from countries in the two regions of focus, the Andes and Central Asia. The international teaching team consisted of researchers of Switzerland, France, Austria and Nepal. The summer school was held from 2‐7 September at Hotel Riffelberg, situated above Zermatt at an altitude of 2548 m asl with a nice view to the famous Matterhorn. The location lies in walking distance to the ablation area Findelengletscher, a mass balance glacier, where part of the field work exercises took place.

  • La Conquista Del Cervino
    En 1860, un joven grabador londinense recibe el encargo de ilustrar un libro sobre los Alpes. Viaja a Suiza y en Zermatt ve por primera vez el monte Cervino, una perfecta pirámide de roca que se eleva en el confín entre Suiza e Italia, y cuya cumbre en aquel momento todavía permanece inescalada. El encuentro con la impresionante montaña cambiará el rumbo de su vida: a partir de este momento Edward Whymper emprende una lucha por conquistar la inaccesible cima. Escala intensamente en los Alpes, consiguiendo numerosas primeras ascensiones a algunos de los picos emblemáticos: Pointe des Écrins, Dent Blanche o Aiguille Verte. Así, Whymper se convierte en uno de los mejores alpinistas de su época, predestinado a cambiar el rumbo de la historia del montañismo. Después de numerosos intentos, el 14 de julio de 1865, llega finalmente a la cima del Cervino junto con seis compañeros. Lamentablemente, la gran victoria se ve empañada por un trágico accidente: durante el descenso un desafortunado resbalón desemboca en la rotura de una cuerda y cuatro hombres se precipitan al abismo de la temible cara norte. Whymper y dos guías escapan milagrosamente a la muerte. En 1871 Whymper publica en Londres Scrambles Amongst the Alps in the Years 1860- 1869, una extensa crónica de sus hazañas alpinas, de la cual el presente libro extrae todos los fragmentos relativos a la conquista del Cervino. Ilustrado con magníficos grabados del famoso alpinista, es un clásico absoluto de la literatura alpina y un volumen indispensable en la biblioteca de cualquier montañero.
