Our Recommended Via Ferratas Via ferrata or iron path Climbing a via ferrata is midway between normal moun- tain hiking and free climbing. "Via ferrata" is an Ital- ian expression which means "iron path". It refers to a climbing route that crosses natural or artificial rock and has been secured with iron ladders, pegs and rungs and steel cables. These devices are used partly as additional finger and footholds to help you climb and partly to secure yourself by attaching your via ferrata kit. On difficult climbs, you can also secure yourselves by being roped together. Climbing via ferratas is very popular with all age groups and with individuals, couples and families. Ideal for every- one, from beginners to professionals. KEY FACTS AT A GLANCE PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS • A good sense of balance • Strong arms and legs • A good head for heights EQUIPMENT • Hiking shoes, gloves, climbing harness, via ferrata safety set including energy-absorbing lanyard and helmet (advice from a specialist retailer is recom- mended) • First aid kit, survival blanket, mobile phone, food and drink, sun protection LEVELS OF DIFFICULTY • Two scales are in common usage: The Hüsler scale from K1 to K6 and the Schall scale from A to F. They each range from easy through moderate to extremely difficult • Via ferratas can be climbed alone or with a guide CAUTION • Don't climb in rain, storm, fog or strong wind • In a storm, fastening yourself to a steel cable works like a lightning conductor! • Beware of rock falls Bare rock faces, lofty heights and amazing views: you only need to look at all the different via fer- rata routes to imagine the tension, the thrilling excitement and the unforgettable sheer adven- ture of climbing them. The mountains are calling! There are so many rock-climbing experiences to be enjoyed in the Sunstar regions, too! Read on to find inspiration... Graubünden region – adventure in the natural metropolis of the Alps PINUT VIA FERRATA WHERE FARMERS WENT TO MOW THE MEADOW In the past, farmers used to climb up to the Pinut on wooden ladders to mow the grass, but nowadays you can enjoy a fantastic via ferrata route up the Flimserstein.

Sunstar Hotel Arosa or Lenzerheide Graubünden region – adventure in the natural metropolis of the Alps SULZFLUH VIA FERRATA, ST ANTÖNIEN THE CLASSIC CHALLENGE Graubünden's first via ferrata, the "classic via ferrata" in the Rätikon mountain range, was created in 2005. At the very end of the St Antönien valley, it leads up the south face to the summit of the Sulzfluh. This via ferrata gets straight to the point with plenty of close contact with the rock face, steep stretches demanding a lot of strength and rope bridges at vertiginous heights. The second, steeper section features some In brief impressive crossings of near-vertical scree-covered slabs and a balancing Area / Peak act on the "Deichmann bridge". The last stretch is the "Wailing Wall", the Rätikon, St Antönien/Sulzfluh most physically strenuous part of the whole route. You are rewarded with (2,817 m) fantastic views at the summit cross.

Quinn: Canton Ticino And The Italian Swiss Immigration To California Canton Ticino and the Italian Swiss Immigration to California by Tony Quinn “The southernmost of Switzerland’s twenty-six cantons, the Ticino, may speak Italian, sing Italian, eat Italian, drink Italian and rival any Italian region in scenic beauty—but it isn’t Italy,” so writes author Paul Hofmann1 describing the one Swiss canton where Italian is the required language and the cultural tie is to Italy to the south, not to the rest of Switzerland to the north. Unlike the German and French speaking parts of Switzerland with an identity distinct from Germany and France, Italian Switzerland, which accounts for only five percent of the country, clings strongly to its Italian heritage. But at the same time, the Ticinese2 are fully Swiss, very proud of being part of Switzerland, and with an air of disapproval of Italy’s ever present government crises and its tie to the European Union and the Euro zone, neither of which Ticino has the slightest interest in joining.

For more information, please contact [email protected], [email protected]. Quinn: The Italian Swiss DNA The Italian Swiss DNA by Tony Quinn* DNA testing is the new frontier in genealogical research. While the paper records of American and European churches and civil bodies are now generally available on line, DNA opens a new avenue of research into the period well before the advent of written records. And it is allowing people to make connections heretofore impossible to make. Recent historical examples are nothing short of amazing. When the bodies thought to be the last Russian Czar and his family, murdered in 1918, were discovered, a 1998 test using the DNA of Prince Philip proved conclusively that the bodies were indeed the Czar and his family. That is because Prince Philip and the Czarina Alexandra shared the same maternal line, and thus the same mitochondrial DNA. Even more remarkable was the "king in the car park," a body found under a parking lot in England thought to be King Richard III, killed at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485.

Di conseguenza, il Comune di Bellinzona è a loro subentrato nel Consorzio. Anche se in via transitoria, considerata la richiesta di uscita dal Consorzio presentata dal Comune di Bellinzona il 4 dicembre 2017, si rende necessaria una revisione parziale dello statuto consortile, proposta qui di seguito, in conformità alla Legge sul consorziamento dei Comuni (LCCom). In particolare, con la LCCom del 2010 - entrata in vigore il 1° settembre 2011 - l’adozione o la modifica dello Statuto consortile è unicamente di competenza dei Legislativi dei Comuni consorziati, mentre non è data più nessuna facoltà al Consiglio consortile. Sono pertanto presentate le seguenti modifiche: Articolo 1 – Denominazione e Comuni consorziati Testo attuale Proposta di modifica Con la denominazione Consorzio Servizio Con la denominazione Consorzio Servizio Raccolta

A national surveillance conducted in 2009 reported a prevalence of 0.46% for Goats tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) detected in ticks, which is in accordance with the prevalences found in Ticks Europe from 0.1%–5%. The Canton of Ticino in the southern part of Switzerland, geographically separated from Ixodes ricinus the rest of the national territory by the Alps, is considered a non-endemic region, as no autochthonous clinical Switzerland cases and no TBEV presence in ticks have ever been reported.
