AIGUILLES and DOLOMITES. by E. Thomas
268 Aiguilles and Dolomites . • AIGUILLES AND DoLOMITES. BY EUSTACE THOMAS. (Read before the Alpine Club, April 4, 1933.) T is four years since an article of mine entitled '· Six Years and the Four Thousanders,' an extension of a list furnished by Captain Farrar, appeared in the ALPINE JOURNAL ; 1 this gave a catalogue of Alpine peaks of a height of 4000 metres or over. My friends take a rather malicious delight in suggesting minor points and perhaps gendarmes on ridges to be added, and it is rather difficult to decide what ought or ought not to be included. Since that date, however, a list has appeared .in La JYlontagne under the signature of our member, Jean Chaubert; and with this I am in agreement. The principal addition was that of the Aiguilles du Diable, which I announced my intention of adding to the bag in my former paper. · In 1929 and 1930 the .Aiguilles du Diable were the principal objects of my desires, but were not in a fit state during my stay in the Alps those years. In 1930 I actually vvent to Chamonix from England for a second time in September ; but the weather changed for the wor$e on my arrival. All other points of Chaubert's list were gathered in however and, where there was any doubt, mountains were revisited. The original list was altered as follows .: Gran Paradiso, two points ; Massif of Mont Blanc two points on the Dome du Gouter were added, Pointe Bayeux and Poi1~te Bravais ; (:}ran des J orasses . Pointe Young was added; Grand Combin completely traversed to include five summits ; Breithorn completely traversed to include five summits; Jungfrau Group Wengern Jungfrau added. -

Berner Oberland 4 X 4000 Mit Finsteraarhorn
Berner Oberland 4 x 4000 mit Finsteraarhorn Oberland Traversierung mit Mönch, Jungfrau und Finsteraarhorn Der Grosse Aletschgletscher mit dem Jungfraufirn ist der mächtigste Gletscher der Alpen. Das Eis ist am Konkordiaplatz noch gut 800 Meter dick! Der Blick schweift über weite Gletscherflächen und Sie bewegen sich in einer Atmosphäre arktischer Strenge. Der ebene und breite Gletscherstrom ist umgeben von den höchsten Gipfeln des Berner Oberlandes, die weit in den blauen Sommerhimmel ragen. Sie wandern auf einem schier endlos scheinenden Glet- scherstrom, der eine wohltuende Ruhe ausstrahlt, von Hütte zu Hütte. Viermal haben Sie dabei die Möglichkeit auf über 4000 Meter hohe Berge zu klettern und dort oben den Alltag weit hinter sich zu lassen. Von Grindelwald aus besteigen Sie zu Beginn der Reise die bekanntesten Gletscherberge des Gebie- tes – den Mönch (4099 m) und die Jungfrau (4158 m). Im Zentrum der Gletscherströme liegt die Kon- kordiahütte (2850 m) beeindruckend über dem Grossen Aletschgletscher. Von hier klettern Sie über steile Firnflanken und wunderbaren Fels auf das versteckte Gross Grünhorn (4043 m). In Schleifen führt der Weg weiter über den spaltenreichen Fieschergletscher, bevor Sie die Sonnen- terasse der neuen Finsteraarhornhütte (3048 m) erwartet. Die Hütte ist noch fast neu und bietet ange- nehmen Komfort. Freuen Sie sich dann am nächsten Morgen auf die wunderbaren Kletterpassagen im griffigen Fels des Finsteraarhorns (4273 m), dem höchsten Berner Oberländer. Nach Rückkehr von der Tour werden Sie auf der Sonnenterrasse liegend, noch lange in Gedanken dort oben sein… Zur Abrundung Ihrer Reise in diese monumentale Landschaft der Gletscher und Himmelsberge, erwar- tet Sie ein langer, intensiver Rückweg in die Zivilisation. -

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. -

November 2020 Edition
Volume – 27 Number – 3 September to November 2020 Edition The Bernese Alps, also called the Bernese Oberland (German for Highlands) is one of the highest mountain ranges in Europe and can be found in south-western Switzerland. When Switzerland became a country in 1848 it was decided there would be no official capital city in order to provide equal importance to every territory in the country. There are 26 cantons (territories) of Switzerland which are member states of the Swiss Confederation. The not well recognised “federal city” of Switzerland, is Bern. The country has four national language regions: German, French, Italian and Romansh. The Bernese Alps is the border between the canton of Bern, to the north and the canton of Valais, to the south. The people in both cantons speak predominantly French and German. The Eiger, although not the highest peak, is the most northerly mountain in the range and is famous for its’ north face. In this Callboard we will explore the history and development of the highest railway in Europe. The Jungfrau. Background Image: Wikipedia - The red arrow point provides an indicative position of Eigerwand railway station’s lookout windows in Eiger’s north face, at 46° 34’ 52” N, 08° 00’ 13” E, 2,865 metres. 1 OFFICE BEARERS President: Daniel Cronin Secretary: David Patrick Treasurer: Geoff Crow Membership Officer: David Patrick Electrical Engineer: Phil Green Way & Works Engineer: Ben Smith Mechanical Engineer: Geoff Crow Development Engineer: Peter Riggall Club Rooms: Old Parcels Office Auburn Railway Station Victoria Road Auburn Telephone: 0419 414 309 Friday evenings Web Address: www.mmrs.org.au Web Master: Mark Johnson Callboard Production: John Ford Meetings: Friday evenings at 7:30 pm Committee Meetings 2nd Tuesday of the month (Refer to our website for our calendar of events) All meeting dates are subject to the current Victorian Government Coronavirus restrictions. -

Jungfrau Region – Program Inspiration Spring
JUNGFRAU REGION – PROGRAM INSPIRATION SPRING DAY 1 MEIRINGEN Right at the back of the Bernese Oberland, at the foot of lake Brienz and surrounded by countless mountain peaks there's a village called Meiringen. Together with four other communities Meiringen builds the Haslital. Tourists all around the world visits this popular place with about 5000 inhabitants. Meiringen is the perfect point of departure for many adventures around the Haslital. ~2h AARE GORGE The Haslital, one of the large valleys in the central alps, stretches from the Grimsel Pass to the Lake of Brienz. The flat valley floor of the lower Haslital is separated from the upper valley by a transverse rock formation. Over thousands of years, the Aare River eroded a path through this rock formation resulting in a gorge which is 1’400 metres long and up to 200 metres deep. This gorge has been accessible for over 100 years by a system of safe paths and tunnels. The walk through the gorge is a very special way to experience nature ~3h ALPEN TOWER In summer the Alpen tower is a perfect point of departure for many hikes and for paragliding. And don't miss the display of Muggestutz' winter world at the Alpen tower. 1 MERINGUES TASTING In the Museum of culinary art in Frankfurt the source of the development of the «Meringue» was discovered before the Second World War from these papers (unfortunately destroyed during the war) it becomes clear that the «Meringue» was first made by a patissier called Casparini around 1600 in Meiringen. He named his creation after the place where the idea was born and that was Meiringen. -
