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.

  • In Memoriam 115
    IN MEMORIAM 115 • IN MEMORIAM CLAUDE WILSON 1860-1937 THE death of Claude Wilson within a few weeks of attaining his seventy-seventh birthday came as a terrible shock to his many friends. Few of us even knew that he was ill, but in the manner of his passing none can regret that there was no lingering illness. We can but quote his own words in Lord Conway's obituary: 'the best we can wish for those that we love is that they may be spared prolonged and hopeless ill health.' His brain remained clear up to the last twenty-four hours and he suffered no pain. The end occurred on October 31. With Claude Wilson's death an epoch of mountaineering comes to an end. He was of those who made guideless and Alpine history from Montenvers in the early 'nineties, of whom but Collie, Kesteven, Bradby, ~olly and Charles Pasteur still survive. That school, in which Mummery and Morse were perhaps the most prominent examples, was not composed of specialists. Its members had learnt their craft under the best Valais and Oberland guides; they were equally-proficient on rocks or on snow. It mattered little who was acting as leader in the ascent or last man in the descent. They were prepared to turn back if conditions or weather proved unfavourable. They took chances as all mountaineers are forced to do at times­ but no fatal accidents, no unfortunate incidents, marred that great page of Alpine history, a page not confined to Mont Blanc alone but distributed throughout the Western Alps.

    Medienmitteilung Swissgrid Media Service 17. September 2020 Bleichemattstrasse 31 Postfach 5001 Aarau Schweiz T +41 58 580 31 00 [email protected] www.swissgrid.ch Sichere Verbindung vom Haslital ins Obergoms Varianten für neue Höchstspannungsleitung zwischen Innertkirchen und Ulrichen liegen auf dem Tisch Swissgrid hat beim Bundesamt für Energie (BFE) verschiedene Planungskorridore für den Bau einer neuen Höchstspannungsleitung zwischen Innertkirchen und Ulrichen eingereicht und damit das Sachplanverfahren für Übertragungsleitungen (SÜL) gestartet. Der Variantenfächer umfasst sowohl Freileitungs- wie auch Erdkabelkorridore. Der multifunktionale Grimselbahntunnel gehört ebenfalls dazu. Die rund 27 Kilometer lange Höchstspannungsleitung zwischen Innertkirchen (BE) und Ulrichen (VS), die heute über den Grimselpass führt, ist zu einem grossen Teil über 60 Jahre alt und muss auf den neusten Stand der Technik gebracht werden. Im Rahmen der Erneuerung wird gleichzeitig die Spannung von heute 220 Kilovolt (kV) auf durchgehend 380 kV erhöht. Die Ka- pazitätserhöhung ist mit Blick auf die Energiestrategie des Bundes nötig, um die wachsende Stromproduktion aus Wasserkraft in den Kantonen Bern, Wallis und Tessin ins Schweizer Mit- telland zu transportieren und die Versorgungssicherheit in der ganzen Schweiz langfristig zu stärken. Start des Sachplanverfahrens Swissgrid hat Anfang Juli 2020 beim Bundesamt für Energie (BFE) die Festsetzung eines Planungskorridors zwischen Innertkirchen und Ulrichen im Sachplan Übertragungsleitungen des Bundes (SÜL) beantragt. Dazu hat Swissgrid in einem ersten Schritt verschiedene Korridorvarianten ausgearbeitet – geografische Räume, in welchen im weiteren Projektverlauf ein Trassee mit einer bestimmten Übertragungstechnologie – Freileitung oder Erdkabel – realisiert werden kann. Als nächstes wird eine vom BFE eingesetzte Begleitgruppe die vorgeschlagenen Planungskorridore diskutieren und bezüglich der Auswirkungen auf Raum, Umwelt, Technik und Kosten bewerten.

  • 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.
