    Page 68 Christophorus 346 Christophorus 346 Page 69 DRIVING By Elmar Brümmer Photos by Daniel Reinhard PASS TIME Where the ideal line runs a zigzag course, the 911’s suspension can enjoy a veritable fi eld day. Precision is always in demand on the mountainous terrain of Switzerland. Th e Gotthard, Furka, and Grimsel pass routes are the traditional territory of the famous PostAuto buses. Th is trip takes driving pleasure to new heights. Page 70 Christophorus 346 Christophorus 346 Page 71 Flowing motion: Learning curves in the mountains of Switzerland show a steep upward slope There is a defi nite rumbling. Satisfi ed, yet insistent. With every meter the 911 ascends, its six cylinders seek to live out an agile response almost too perfect for this tour. But there is no way around it. If ever there were the right place for the German expression jetzt geht die Post ab—roughly, “off we go”—this is it. Before we devote high praise to our mountain-climb- ing tour along the Gotthard, Furka, and Matter- horn—with an appearance by the Rhone Glacier—it is important to note a crucial tonal sequence: C-sharp, E, A. This unmistakable signal tells us we have en- tered the world of the PostAuto buses. Their horns are music not only to the ears of nostalgia buffs; these ve- hicles continue to provide public transportation to the farthest corners of Switzerland, and they seem to have chosen the most fabulous routes to do so. These roads are so twisty and narrow that one cannot imagine driving them without leaning on the horn from time to time to warn other motorists.

  • Andermatt Swiss Alps
    ANDERMATT SWISS ALPS editorial The first time I visited Andermatt, I encountered something special: the unadulterated natural beauty of a Swiss moun- tain village in the heart of the Alps. And I was inspired – not only by the village of Andermatt, but by the whole valley. This expansive high-mountain valley, the Ursern Valley, with its wild and romantic natural landscape, inspired my vision of Andermatt Swiss Alps. Even then, it was clear to me that the soul of this region is the untouched nature. And I intend to preserve this. I see sustainability as a cornerstone upon which the develop- ment of Andermatt is based. I warmly invite you to discover the charm of the Swiss Alps. Step into a world that is closer than you think. Welcome to Andermatt Swiss Alps! Samih Sawiris Sawiris’ vision has since become reality, in the form of the new hotels, apartment buildings and chalets of Ander matt Swiss Alps, the unique golf course and the multifaceted SkiArena. The properties next to the Reuss offer guests a range of modern residential options and are sought-after investment assets as well. The portfolio rang- es from practical studios to spacious apartments and penthouses. Streets and walks in Andermatt are short – and it should stay that way: The village area next to the Reuss is car- free; an underground garage provides ample parking space. The mountain cableway terminals, shops, restau- rants and public facilities are easily accessible by foot in every season and are integrated into the village life of Andermatt. The central Piazza Gottardo also contributes to this.

This catalogue now con- tains descriptions of over 100,000 slides and is supposed to be about one of the most comprehensive yet issued. We have made one price for photographic slides right throughout. It is always possible if customers want slides specially well coloured, to fedo them up to any price, but the quality mentioned in this catalogue is quite equal to those supplied by other houses in the trade. It must always be borne in mind that there are lantern slides and lantern slides, and that there are a few people not very well known in the trade, who issue a list of very low priced slides indeed, many of which are simply slides which would not be sold by any Optician with an established reputation.
