  • Economic Significance of Cableways Illustrated by the Example of Titlis Rotair in Engelberg, Near to Lucerne, Switzerland
    Economic Significance of Cableways Illustrated by the Example of Titlis Rotair in Engelberg, near to Lucerne, Switzerland by Eugenio Rüegger1 Structure of Lecture: 1. Geography / Transportation 2. History 3. Important Background Information on Engelberg 4. Tourism in Switzerland 5. Facts & Figures 6. Business Management 7. Economic Significance for Engelberg Tourist Resort 8. Connection of Tourism with Alpine Agriculture 9. Cableway Companies and Ecology 10. Cableway Companies and their Social Environment 11. Conclusions 1. Geography / Transportation Engelberg is situated in an alpine valley at the base of Mount Titlis at an altitude of 1,000 meters above sea level (3,280 ft.). In the commuter belt of Northern- and Central Switzerland, Mount Titlis is the nearest beauty spot, which, thanks to the glacier on top, guarantees for ice and snow all year round. Getting to Engelberg is easy. The LSE (train between Lucerne and Engelberg) has been in service for 100 years now, and the road that connects Lucerne with the resort is in perfect condition as well. A car ride from Lucerne to Engelberg takes about half an hour. Therefore Engelberg does not profit from vacation tourism only, but also from day trip business. It is no use to mention that day trip business, of course, involves disadvantages as well. On the other hand, Titlis Rotair is particularly interested in achieving a better base in use of capacity during the week. This again is related with the supply of hotels in the tourist resort. Titlis Rotair operates 20 different transportation facilities, thereby offering ski runs of all levels of difficulty.

  • 'Failed A.C.' 269
    'FAILED A.C.' 269 • 'FAILED A.C.' BY T. S. BLAKENEY N the Alpine Journal for November, 196o, an attempt was made to rescue from oblivion an early mountaineer (in the 186o's), John Thorn of Liverpool, and it was then seen that this more than usually enterprising climber had failed on three occasions to be elected to the Alpine Club. It has seemed worth while to try and compile a list of other candidates who, for one reason or another, did not obtain membership of the Club. The list is printed below, based on entries in the old Candidates' Books, supplemented by the register of appli­ cations kept by Sir Edward Davidson in two massive volumes, and with the aid of the Minute Books of the Committee and General Meetings of the Alpine Club. The great scrap-books, containing the Club's printed notices, etc. since the beginning, have also been of use, and in some cases the original application forms still exist, but this is not invariable. For obvious reasons, the list is not brought down to recent times, but ends with the close of the First World War.
