It presents information on tourism and the economy of the Ticino Canton. Informative tourist brochures and access to the Internet are available there. In addition, our Front Desk is available for information on general tourist offerings in the Canton and particularly in the Upper Ticino region. Besides tourist packages combined with the guided tours, the Infocentre team can take care of making re servations for hotels, public transportation, restaurants and pubs. Touring the AlpTransit Exhibit and Educational Pathway The first floor of the facility houses a multimedia and interactive exhibit covering all the various construction phases in the AlpTransit project. There is no charge for access to these display areas and t hey are open to the public daily, Tuesday to Sunday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. , all day. The AlpTransit Gotthard Company has created an interesting pathway along the course of the construction site. Explanatory panels permit visitors to view and gain an under standing of the various aspects involved in the construction work zone. Snack Bar The Infocentre Snack Bar offers visitors the chance to take a break for a snack or for lunch. Upon request, aperitifs and appetisers can be offered for groups. In addition, visitors can use the outdoor terrace during the summer season. Conference Rooms The Infocentre features two conference rooms, one with a seating capacity of 50-70 persons, the other room seating 30 - 50 persons. There is also a smaller meeting room for 10 persons. These rooms can be rented upon request for corporate meetings or special events. Organisation of events Characterised by modern, essential lines, the facility is very well suited for the organisation of events, confere nces and work meetings. The Infocentre team is also available to satisfy your special needs and can guarantee a wide range of value-added services. As it is situated within the North-South road and railway network and in the vicinity of the Lugano and Mila n airports, the Infocentre offers an optimal location and it is easily reached by public or private transportation The Gotthard Sud Infocentre visitor centre is part of the overall project for the new Alpine AlpTransit railway tunnel, the large - scale project now in progress and aimed at the modernisation of public transportation infrastructures. The project is highly desired by the Swiss to protect the sensitive Alpine environment. Owing to this new transport network, the large influx of traffic, especially for goods, will be redirected off the roads for rail transport. The AlpTransit Gotthard Company has the task of completing the Gotthard Base Tunnel according to the planned work schedule and costs, but it is also called upon to inform the public as to the progress of these major works. Thanks to the new Pollegio visitor centre, all interested persons are offered the opportunity of learning about the various aspects involved in the construction of this important transportation network. The centre was designed by the architectural firm Bauzeit Architekten GmbH of Bienne, and the exhibits by the Oï firm of Bienne. The architecture and the displays are striking and innovative in terms of the concepts underlying the presentation and the "staging". The building was constructed with material extracted from the Gotthard Base Tunnel, in keeping with the principle adopted by the AlpTransit Gotthard Company, according to which most of the material extracted from the various tunnels will be re-utilised. The exhibits are marked by strong emotional impact, owing to the use of advanced audio - visual techniques. The information centre was officially opened in the month of April 2003. The centre is addressed to a vast public, emotionally and with highly sophisticated multimedia techniques that illustrate topics relating to the construction of the tunnels, aspects related to naturalistic factors and mineralogy, the environment and mobility. Space has also been dedicated to cultural and historical aspects, including the food and wines of St. Gotthard, the economy of the Belli nzona and Upper Ticino Region and the touring possibilities offered in the Region, and thus the Canton as well. This new facility definitely represents an important new element in terms of the content, means and the services marked by a high added value in terms of their expression. However, the facility is also important and innovative in terms of its architectural distinctiveness. In addition, with the establishment of the Infocentro Gottardo Sud SA company, the tourist agencies that are members of the Alto Ticino Pool have established a record in the Canton. In fact, they have joined together as the sole shareholders for the management of this ambitious and innovative project.

  • Annexiv-Waste Management in Switzerland and Ticino
    ANNEX IV - WASTE MANAGEMENT IN SWITZERLAND AND TICINO SWITZERLAND The Swiss Confederation, commonly known as Switzerland, is a federal republic made up of 26 cantons. Its capital is Bern and its population is about 8 million people. It is situated in Western Europe, bordered by Germany, Austria, Italy, France and Lichtenstein. Four official languages are spoken in Switzerland: German, French, Italian and Romansh. Other demographic characteristics of Switzerland are presented schematically in figure 1 and table 2. Politically, the Swiss Confederation is composed as follows. The federal constitution adopted in 1848 established the legal foundations of the country. This is one of the oldest constitutions in the world (Federal Chancellery, 2013). The federal constitution established the country as a direct democracy; therefore, citizens have the right to intervene in parliamentary decisions. Three levels of government exist: federal, cantonal and municipal. At the federal level, the parliament has the legislative power, the Federal Council is the executive and the Federal Court has judicial power. The parliament is composed of both the Council of States and the National Council, with 200 representatives in total. The Council of States has 46 representatives - two for each canton and 1 for half-canton. The National Council’s representatives are elected proportionally to the population of each canton. Modalities of election of the representatives vary within each canton. Switzerland is a very economically active and rich country. It has the fifth highest GDP per capita in the world (World Bank, 2013), and the majority of its businesses are from the tertiary sector. The most developed sectors in Switzerland are pharmaceutical and financial (with Zurich, Geneva and Lugano being the three biggest financial centres).

  • Chronology of a Project of the Century Milestones in the Construction History up to 2010
    13.08.2010 LZ01-210755-v3 Chronology of a Project of the Century Milestones in the Construction History up to 2010 1947 Carl Eduard Gruner, engineer and urban planner from Basel, sketches the visionary idea of a Gotthard Base Tunnel as an element of a rapid transit system. 1960s In 1963, the Swiss Federal Government establishes a committee for a "Railway Tunnel through the Alps". It evaluates various base-tunnel solutions and in 1970 recommends construction of a Gotthard base tunnel from Erstfeld to Biasca. 1970s A new committee is set up to review the proposed variants again. However, political disagreement between the proponents of the Gotthard, Simplon and Splügen routes, as well as an economic recession, block the tunnel project. In 1971, the Swiss Federal Council assigns to Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) the task of elaborating the construction project for the Gotthard base route Erstfeld-Biasca to allow rapid implementation of construction work. The construction project is presented in 1975. 1980s In 1983, the Swiss Federal Council concludes in a report that a new rail link through the Alps is "not urgent". In 1986, new evaluation studies investigate variants for a continuous flat route from the northern edge of the Alps to the southern border of Switzerland. After formal consultation with the cantons, in 1989 the Federal Council decides on implementation of a so-called "network variant", which proposes a combination of a Gotthard base tunnel, a Lötschberg base tunnel, and a Hirzel tunnel to provide a link to eastern Switzerland. 1992 May 2 In the Through Traffic Agreement with the European Union, Switzerland commits to providing the agreed traffic capacities.
