In , Adolf Guyer-Zeller conceived of the idea of a railway tunnel to the Jungfraujoch to make the glaciated areas on its south side more accessible. Thank you! Will defnitely add this to my bucket list. Learn how your comment data is processed. If you have a couple more daylight hours, hop on the train to Wilderswil and ride up to Schynige Platte. I like that you can access it so easily especially getting home after a sunset dinner or to play in the snow but the challenge of the trek is always a big part of it. For us, the Jungfrau region is the perfect meeting place for a weekend. The classic and storied ascent has developed over time, thanks to the easy access provided by the Jungfraujoch railway station. It will be a good place to stay if you are driving or want to stay in the mountains but at the same time, want some shops, restaurants and nightlife around.

    13 Protection: A Means for Sustainable Development? The Case of the Jungfrau- Aletsch-Bietschhorn World Heritage Site in Switzerland Astrid Wallner1, Stephan Rist2, Karina Liechti3, Urs Wiesmann4 Abstract The Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn World Heritage Site (WHS) comprises main- ly natural high-mountain landscapes. The High Alps and impressive natu- ral landscapes are not the only feature making the region so attractive; its uniqueness also lies in the adjoining landscapes shaped by centuries of tra- ditional agricultural use. Given the dramatic changes in the agricultural sec- tor, the risk faced by cultural landscapes in the World Heritage Region is pos- sibly greater than that faced by the natural landscape inside the perimeter of the WHS. Inclusion on the World Heritage List was therefore an opportunity to contribute not only to the preservation of the ‘natural’ WHS: the protected part of the natural landscape is understood as the centrepiece of a strategy | downloaded: 1.10.2021 to enhance sustainable development in the entire region, including cultural landscapes. Maintaining the right balance between preservation of the WHS and promotion of sustainable regional development constitutes a key chal- lenge for management of the WHS. Local actors were heavily involved in the planning process in which the goals and objectives of the WHS were defined. This participatory process allowed examination of ongoing prob- lems and current opportunities, even though present ecological standards were a ‘non-negotiable’ feature. Therefore the basic patterns of valuation of the landscape by the different actors could not be modified. Nevertheless, the process made it possible to jointly define the present situation and thus create a basis for legitimising future action.

    Switzerland Vacation Bruce McKay www.Travel-Pix.ca Switzerland Vacation Contents Contents 2 Introduction 3 Maps 4 Welcome 6 Interlaken 9 Harder Kulm 11 Lauterbrunnen 17 Murren 27 Lake Brienz 36 Schynige Platte 44 Lake Thun 46 Rain Day 50 Zurich 54 Lake Zurich 56 Switzerland Vacation Introduction After I first visited Switzerland and had a great time I often told friends it was a place I'd love to revisit. An opportunity for that arose when I booked on for the European Castles Tours "Three Corners of Europe – Black Forest, Alsace and Switzerland". That tour was designed for air travel to and from Zurich, so there was an easy way to add an extension of my own. The last full day of the tour was at Lucerne, and I was able to plan my extension starting there. I didn't want to repeat everything I'd done before, but I did know there was a magic region where I'd love to spend some more time. The Bernese Oberland in central Switzerland extends south into the Bernese Alps. Its mixture of mountains, lakes, and valleys has made it very popular, not only for sightseeing but also for hiking and active sports, both winter and summer. I visited the most famous sites on an earlier tour. This was a more relaxed visit. I stayed in Interlaken, the regional transportation hub, and made day excursions from there. The photos from my longer tour are in the Switzerland-1 and -2 PDFs, and the ones from the first part of this trip are on the "Three Corners" page.
