Expect to be amazed! First-time visitors to Ticino are bowled over by the beauty of the two largest lakes, surrounded by mountains, woods and pic- turesque villages. For families wanting to laze beside the water, there is the sandy Lido at Lugano and fun and relaxation on the shores of Lake Mag- giore. There are boat excursions to discover the charms of lakeside villages or visit the Islands of Brissago which astonish visitors with the botanical delights of a subtropical microclimate. In Ticino reality can surpass the im- agination. From beaches to cities that combine wellness, water sports, culture and great nightlife, there is something for every taste and budget. You can ride horseback along river banks, lie in the sun on a secluded bay of the river Maggia, or take a dip in the green waters of the river Verzasca.

There is something Tardis like about the Bellinzona region: in a relatively short distance of just over 60 km you can travel from glaciers to palm trees evoking the tropics, from snow-capped peaks to warm paths through lush woods. For such a small area, it encompasses an astonishing variety of habitats and landscapes. The value and importance of looking after what we have inherited from the Locarno past are well understood in the political capital of Ticino, Bellinzona. The Ascona town itself preserves the austere grace of a medieval legacy within a lively modern context.

  • What Drives Warming Trends in Streams? a Case Study from the Alpine Foothills
    RIVER RESEARCH AND APPLICATIONS River Res. Applic. 31: 663–675 (2015) Published online 8 May 2014 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com) DOI: 10.1002/rra.2763 WHAT DRIVES WARMING TRENDS IN STREAMS? A CASE STUDY FROM THE ALPINE FOOTHILLS F. LEPORI*, M. POZZONI AND S. PERA Institute of Earth Sciences, Canobbio, Switzerland ABSTRACT We investigated the effects of climate warming and land-use changes on the temperature and discharge of seven Swiss and Italian streams in the catchment of Lake Lugano. In addition, we attempted to predict future stream conditions based on regional climate scenarios. Between 1976 and 2012, the study streams warmed by 1.5–4.3 °C, whereas discharge showed no long-term trends. Warming trends were driven mainly by catchment urbanization and two large-scale climatic oscillations, the North Atlantic Oscillation and the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation. In comparison, independent influences by radiative forcing due to increased atmospheric CO2 were uncertain. However, radiative forcing was predicted to further increase stream temperature (to +3–7 °C), reduce summer discharge (to À46%) and increase winter discharge (to +96%) between the present and 2070–2099. These results provide new insights into the drivers of long-term temperature and discharge trends in European streams subject to multiple impacts. The picture emerging is one of transition, where greenhouse-gas forcing is gaining ground over climate oscillations and urbanization, the drivers of past trends. This shift would impress a more directional nature upon future changes in stream temperature and discharge, and extend anthropogenic warming to rural streams. Diffusing future impacts on stream ecosystems would require adaptation measures at local to national scales and mitigation of greenhouse-gas emissions at the global scale.

    UNESCO World Heritage properties in Switzerland February 2021 www.whes.ch Welcome Dear journalists, Thank you for taking an interest in Switzerland’s World Heritage proper- ties. Indeed, these natural and cultural assets have plenty to offer: en- chanting cityscapes, unique landscapes, historic legacies and hidden treasures. Much of this heritage was left to us by our ancestors, but nature has also played its part in making the World Heritage properties an endless source of amazement. There are three natural and nine cultur- al assets in total – and as unique as each site is, they all have one thing in common: the universal value that we share with the global community. “World Heritage Experience Switzerland” (WHES) is the umbrella organisation for the tourist network of UNESCO World Heritage properties in Switzerland. We see ourselves as a driving force for a more profound and responsible form of tourism based on respect and appreciation. In this respect we aim to create added value: for visitors in the form of sustainable experiences and for the World Heritage properties in terms of their preservation and appreciation by future generations. The enclosed documentation will offer you the broadest possible insight into the diversity and unique- ness of UNESCO World Heritage. If you have any questions or suggestions, you can contact us at any time.
