Switzerland's Grisons Alps' Switzerland's Grisons Tour Code: 19340 Grade 7 Alps Holiday Duration: 14 nights HOLIDAY DATES 3th Jul 2019 - 17th Jul 2019, 7th Aug 2019 - 21st Aug 2019 Extend your time in Switzerland, combing 21st Aug 2019 - 4th Sept 2019 the alpine resorts of Arosa and Klosters Why not extend your time in the Swiss Alps by combining Alpine Arosa with Klosters, with magnificent hiking opportunities HOLIDAY HIGHLIGHTS Walk above the treeline and experience breathtaking views. A fantastic mix of walks from the doorstep combined with easy transport links. Explore a remote and undiscovered area of Switzerland. Enjoy easy access to over 400 miles of hiking trails. Ascend the Rätschenhorn (2703m), via the Saaser Calanda col, which offers fabulous views. Experience the ridge walk to the Weissfluh (2843m) with the possibility of traversing some easy snowfields. Switzerland's Grisons Alps' Arosa has all the ingredients for the perfect Alpine holiday. The village itself lies between 1700m and 1800m, so many walks start with a short ascent through trees, but beyond that the landscape opens into alpine meadows with peaks in every direction. Higher up you enter the realm of the ibex, and certainly for the higher grade options this is a peak-baggers dream. The Aroser Rothorn is a challenging walk reaching nearly 3000m, but there are lesser peaks such as the Schiesshorn, Weisshorn, Tiejer Flue and Matlishorn. The attraction of the area extends beyond these peaks to the remote valleys and ridges and the pretty villages such as Tschiertchen. The beautiful grassy ridge above Langwies is a joy and the remote walk passing the tiny collection of barns at Alp Farur is both wild and charming. Arosa is at the end of the spectacular train line, opening up walks between the village and Chur on the valley floor. Several cable cars from the village centre can whisk you to well over 2000m. The Swiss village of Klosters is an idyllic Graubünden village, tucked away at the confluence of four valleys where much of the old world charm of an Alpine Switzerland remains. A patchwork of picturesque flower-filled meadows cover the lower slopes and the sound of cowbells often accompanies you on your walks. Higher up we may see Marmots and maybe even the Chamois or Ibex which find their summer home amidst the high peaks. The hiking opportunities here are magnificent and extensive, with routes progressing through meadowland, forest and alongside fast flowing glacial rivers up to exposed high level terrain. The well marked tracks are generally good underfoot, but at higher levels as we snake up and around the jagged peaks there are some tougher ascents and descents. Some of the hikes we'll enjoy include a ridge walk to the Weissfluh, a walk along a wonderful ‘Panoramaweg', and a walk starting with a gondola ride up the Rinerhorn, so the hiking is spectacular from the outset. The hike descends to the village of Monstein, where you might like to relax with a local craft beer. Our departure on the 19th June will be at a more leisurely pace to allow time to appreciate the flora. This two week holiday combines our one week Alpine Arosa holiday with our one week Klosters holiday. A fantastic way to see two Alpine resorts in one go! WHAT'S INCLUDED Return flights from Heathrow to Zurich (British Airways) Airport transfers by train Half board en suite accommodation Arosa Card and Davos Klosters card, with free travel and free or reduced entry to some local attractions All local transport costs. HOLIDAY GRADE This Grade 7 walking holiday is challenging and requires stamina. The holiday consists of full day walks with appreciable amounts of ascent and descent with walks in some remote areas. The walks are mostly on good waymarked paths and tracks with some narrow and steep rocky areas. At any time of year there may be areas of snow to cross. There are more challenging walks on some days with vertiginous mountain paths in some parts and plenty of ascent and descent over rough and steep ground, so a steady foot and a good head for heights is required. The actual walking time can take 5-7 hours a day and could involve as much as 800-1,000m of ascents and descents on some days. The maximum altitude reached on this holiday is unlikely to be more than 2700m. See the itinerary section for more information. Proposed Itinerary Our bottom line is happy travellers, and to that end we trust our tour leaders to use the itinerary below as a basis for providing you with a great holiday. We expect our leaders to make adjustments to the itinerary if the weather, group ability or other local conditions make that necessary.

Arosa's Untersee lake marks the start of this walk, as we climb steadily up the far slopes of the Schanfigg Valley to the delightful alpine village of Medergen at 2000m, we can stop for coffee at a the Alpenrose, a beautiful mountain ‘Hütte' overlooking the valley. We then climb up a long line of steps (not for those with vertigo) below the Mederger Flue, for a dramatic picnic lunch. Passing behind the Chüpfenflue and Strela mountains, with magnificent views down to Davos, before we reach the Strelapass. From here it's a steep descent down to Chüpfen, and then easier down to Langwies, way down in the valley, to catch the train back to Arosa, crossing the vertiginous Langwieser Viaduct.15 miles (24km), 1045m ascent / 1465m descent, 6 hours.

  • Geologische Untersuchungen in Mittelbünden. (Vorläufige Mitteilung.) Von J
    Geologische Untersuchungen in Mittelbünden. (Vorläufige Mitteilung.) Von J. CADISCH, W. LEUPOLD, H. EUGSTER UND R. BRAUCHLI. (Geolog. Institut der Universität Bern). Hiezu eine tektonische Karte (Taf. VHI) und Proflle (Tel.IX). (Als Manuskript eingegangen am 15. Dezember 1918.) Einleitung. Als uns Prof. P. Arbenz im Sommer 1915 auf einer ersten re- kognoszierenden Exkursion durch Mittelbünden führte, hatten wir die grosse Freude, Herrn Prof. A. Heim mit uns ziehen zu sehen durch jeHe Gebirgswinkel voller geologischer Rätsel. Nun es uns vergönnt war, an dem lockeren Gewebe von Leitlinien, . welches jene Exkursion vor uns entstehen liess, in mehrjähriger Detailarbeit weiter zu wirken und die Probleme dieser Gebirge ihrer Lösung näher zu führen, drängt es uns, unserem Meister die ersten Resultate einer Arbeit zu widmen, deren Anfängen er Gevatter gestanden und zu deren Fortführung er uns seinerzeit angesichts der Dolomithäupter von Arosa mit unver- gesslichen Worten angespornt hat. Das Gebiet, dessen Detailuntersuchung und Kartierung wir uns, teilweise als Grundlage uHserer Dissertationen, zum Ziel gesetzt haben, umfasst den ganzen Gebirgsstock zwischen Lenzerheide, Albula, Land- wasser, Landquart und Plessur. Es verteilt sich folgendermassen auf die vier Autoren. Im Jahre 1916 begann J. Cadisch (J. C.) mit der Bearbeitung der Liefern unterostalpinen Decken des 'Gebietes, ausgehend zuerst vom Gebirgsknoten der Weissfluh und Casanna. Im selben Jahre begann auch W. Lenpold• (W. L.) das Studium der höheren unterostalpinen und der oberostalpinen Deckengebiete der anschlies- senden Gebirgskette zwischen Plessur und Landwasser, Schiahorn und Sandhubel. Sein Nachbar im Westen wurde im nächsten Jahre R. Brauchli (R. B.), der die Untersuchung der Südwestecke zwischen Albula, Lenzerheide und Arosa in Angriff nahm.

When you’re used to doing things a certain way, it’s hard to switch, even if there’s an easier alternative. That’s how I felt about e-bikes, but I was pleasantly surprised. For a long time, e-bikes were seen as not sporty, too heavy, or just for old folks. But this view- point is outdated, and the reputation of e-bikes has done an about face. Even Danny MacAskill’s latest video has him riding an e-bike. Suddenly, there’s a whole new world of opportunity: Thanks to “uphill flow”, steep climbs are a piece of cake, and a day trip becomes a quick evening spin. Even long rides to get to the flowingest single-track trails are over in no time. Totally dope These words are as fitting for a Davos Klosters e-bike mountain hut tour as a fine-tuned SRAM XX1 trigger shifter on your dream bike. Because once we were a few kilometers into our ride down the Flüelatal and up to Tschuggen, things got pretty dope.

This metamorphic overprint is attributed to the orogenic Switzerland) the different tectonic elements of the Arosa zone metamorphic processes during the Late Cretaceous. (4) A me´lange e.g. the Austroalpine fragments, the sedimentary thermal climax observed in the South Penninic sediments of the cover of South Penninic ophiolite fragments, as well as the Arosa zone can be bracketed by the Austroalpine Late Creta- matrix (oceanic sediments and flysch rocks) show distinctively ceous event (3) and the middle Tertiary event (5) in the Middle different metamorphic histories and also different climaxes Penninic units and predates Oligocene extension of the ‘‘Turba (‘‘peaks’’) of Alpine metamorphism. This is shown by a wealth phase’’.

At least six the Upper Austroalpine is strongly influenced by a late Tertiary main metamorphic events can be recognized in the area of high-grade diagenetic to low-anchizone event. In the Arosa Arosa–Davos–Klosters: (1) A pre-orogenic event, typical for zone me´lange an individual orogenic metamorphic event is the Upper Austroalpine and for instance found in the sediments evidenced and gives a chance to resolve diagenetic–metamor- at the base of the Silvretta nappe but also in some tectonic phic relations versus deformation.
