  • Sir John Herschel and the Breithorn
    298 SIR JOHN HERSCHEL AND THE BREITHORN • SIR JOHN HERSCHEL AND THE BREITHORN BY CLAIRE ELIANE ENGEL HERE is a tradition according to which the Breithorn was first climbed in 1813 by a completely unknown Frenchman, Henri 1 • • Maynard and later by Sir John Herschel. F. F. Tuckett inci- dentally mentioned the fact that Sir John Herschel had told him he had ascended the Breithorn from the Theodul in 1821 ; Tuckett had never heard of Maynard.2 Lord Minto, who went up the mountain in 1830, called it Monte Rosa and said, it was the summit ascended in I822 by Sir' John Herschel. 3 His authority vvas either Sir John himself, or J oseph-Marie Couttet who had been the first guide of both parties. Coolidge accepted 1822 as the date of Herschel's climb.4 According to Tuckett, no Zermatt guide had ever reached the summit before him, in June 1859. · Now it is obvious that there is some missing link in this story, and I • • endeavoured to find it. Thanks to the great .kindness of the Rev. Sir John Herschel, the astronomer's grandson, I am able to give the com­ plete story of the second ascent of the Breithorn by Sir John Herschel in 1821. His travel-diaries are kept in Slough Observatory House, the family seat, and his grandson allowed me to read them and to have his drawings photographed. I found a few more details in Sir John's letters to the Genevese astronomer Alfred Gautier vvhich are kept in the Bibliotheque Publique et U niversitaire in Geneva.

  • Alphubel (4206 M)
    Alphubel (4206 m) Hochtour | Walliser Alpen 500+1500 Hm | insg. 12:00 Std. | Schwierigkeit (3 von 6) Vom Gletscherdorf Saas-Fee aus präsentiert sich der Alphubel von seiner schönsten Seite - als gewaltiger Gletscherkoloss und als einer der markantesten Viertausender überhaupt. Der Normalweg führt auf der Rückseite des Berges vom Mattertal über die heimelige Täschhütte auf das große Gipfelplateau, das wie ein riesiger Tanzplatz zwischen Himmel und Erde wirkt. Technisch gehört die Normalroute auf den Alphubel zu den leichteren Routen auf einen der für das Tourenbuch so begehrten Viertausender. © Tourentipp.com 2021 Seite 1/3 1 2 3 4 5 6 Schwierigkeit Kondition Gefahrenpotenzial Landschaft Frequentierung Anfahrt: Von Deutschland mit dem Auto über Oberalppass / Furka oder via Lötschberg-Bahnverladung ins Rhônetal nach Visp. Weiter von Visp über Stalden ins Mattertal nach Täsch (1450 m). Empfehlenswert ist auch die Anreise per Bahn über Zürich und Visp direkt nach Täsch. Von Täsch aus führt eine kleine Bergstraße zur Siedlung Ottavan auf der Täschalp (2205 m), dort gebührenfreier Parkplatz. Bahnreisende können auch eines der regelmäßig verkehrenden Sammeltaxis nutzen (SFr. 10,-, Stand 2013). Ausgangspunkt: Siedlung Ottavan auf der Täschalp (2205 m) im Mattertal Route: Hüttenzustieg: Auf gut beschildertem, breiten Hüttenweg in ca. 1 ¼ Stunden direkt zur Täschhütte (2701 m). Die Hütte ist bereits vom Parkplatz aus zu sehen. Gipfelanstieg: Von der Täschhütte (2701 m) führt ein deutlicher Weg (Schild: Alphubelsee) zunächst Richtung Ostsüdosten über zwei der drei „Schreienden Bäche“ in den Chumibodmen. Nun am dritten Bach entlang, jetzt steiler durch Blockwerk in östlicher Richtung. Die deutliche Spur verliert sich in verschiedenen kleinen Wegen, die aber alle über weichen Gletschersand am großen Alphubelsee vorbei zum Anseilplatz auf einer Felsenrippe am südlichen Arm des Alphubelgletschers führen (3300 m).

Photo: Mike Roberts The Matterhorn is undeniably the most magnificent and well-known peak in the Alps. Its bold pyramidal shape evokes emotions of wonderment and even fear in those who view it for the first time, as its four distinct faces stand omnipotent and menacing over the green meadows below. Separated by sharp ridges, the four faces are orientated to the four points of the compass, the northern aspects within Switzerland while the southern side lies in Italy. We ascend via the Hörnli Ridge that separates the rich heritage adds to the superb facilities, including North and East Faces via a long and technical route catered huts and lift systems offering services not requiring the utmost attention from climbers.

  • The Matterhorn Centenary
    TI-IE MATTERHORN CENTENARY THE MATTERHORN CENTENARY BY B. R. GOODFELLO'IV (Five illustrations: nos. 50- 54) DWARD WHYMPER must have appreciated in his lifetime that his ascent of the Matterhorn and his own dramatic account of the ............. disaster had added immeasurably to the glamour of that incom­ parable mountain. So he must have realised the great contribution which he made personally to the greater prosperity of the people of Zermatt; they have long acknowledged this and the centenary was closely linked with Whymper"s name. But he could scarcely have foreseen the impact of to-day's mass affluence, of the rise of ski-ing and of universal publicity on the Alpine village he had known first over 100 years ago. We had all expected for some years that the centenary of the Matter­ horn ascent would be used by Zermatt for publicity on the grand scale. With the true mountain lovers' distaste for the prostitution of the Alps for commercial ends, many decided to keep away in 1965. But by doing so they missed a great occasion. For, although the Festival Week was unashamedly dedicated to Zermatt propaganda, the whole of the func­ tions were conducted in the very best of taste. Above all Zermatt, for this week, was the meeting place for mountaineers from all over Europe and from America, India and further afield. Enjoying the warm and generous hospitality of our Swiss hosts, we made many valuable new friendships and renewed old ones. The Alpine Club came in some strength, more than fifty in number, many with their wives and some with their families.

  • 1 Tydzień = 5 X 4000 M Npm
    1 tydzień = 5 x 4000 m npm Pomysł na tygodniowy wyjazd alpejski zapadł jeszcze w czerwcu. Głównym celem na 7 dni w Alpach dla mnie i Marcina stał się Weisshorn (4505 m). Szczyt trudny do zdobycia ze względu na wysokość i odległość podejścia z „bazy”, czyli wioski Randa zlokalizowanej przed słynnym ale nieco niższym Matterhornem. Pomysł zainteresował także szersze grono wspinaczy naszego KW. Jednak skład wykrystalizował się tuż przed terminem wyjazdu i ostatecznie do Randy udali się: Marcin Miczke, Maciej Przebitkowski. Radek Sołtykowski i ja – Jacek Wichłacz. Termin: 8 – 16.08.2012r. Czyli tzw. długi weekend. Już następnego dnia, po rozbiciu namiotu na campingu w Randzie udaliśmy się na wyjścia aklimatyzacyjne. Z braku miejsc w schronisku wyjście do Weisshornhutte musieliśmy przesunąć do soboty. Razem zatem - czyli w czwórkę - wjechaliśmy kolejką na Klein Matterhorn i tu nasze drogi nieoczekiwanie się rozeszły. Jak się potem okazało na 5 dni. Marcin i ja postanowiliśmy wejść na Roccia Nera (4075 m) i jak czas pozwoli na kolejny czterotysięcznik - Polluxa (4092 m). Maciej i Radek mieli pomysł aby wejść na coś lekkiego np. na Castora (4228 m) , przespać się dla lepszej aklimatyzacji w najbliższym schronisku Quintino Sella (3587 m.n.p.m.) i wrócić w tempie wypoczynkowo-spacerowym do Randy następnego dnia. Zgodnie z założeniami nasze aklimatyzacyjne wejścia dokonaliśmy na 2 wytyczone 4 - tysięczniki prawie bez chwili przerwy (nawet nie było czasu na zjedzenie drugiego śniadania). Ale skończyłyby się to o mało co „ kiblem” na stacji kolejki. Na jej ostatni zjazd zdążyliśmy 3 min. przed odjazdem w dół. O mały włos a aklimatyzacja Marcina i moja trwałaby o noc dłużej i to w warunkach dość ubogich.

  • The Centenary Meet at Zermatt, Pages from a Diary
    • • • • • RACI.ETTE PAnTY, A UGUST 20, 1957, AT RIFFELALP. THE CENTENARY MEET AT ZERMATT, 1957 TI-IE CENTENARY MEET AT ZERMATT, 1957 Pages from a Diary BY SIR JOHN I-IUNT wo days after the Raclette party on Riffelalp, our party returned to the Betemps hut, after an exceptionally cold and windy traverse of the Lyskamm, which was, however, noteworthy I for the membership of the party itself; it included the leaders of two Swiss Everest Expeditions, Eduard Wyss-Dunant and Albert Eggler, as well as Fritz IJuchsinger, who, with Ernst Reiss, made the first ascent of Lhotse in 1956. .. Our next objective was the Brei thorn via the Klein Triftje (or Young ridge) and we were busy with preparations from the moment of our return to the hut. The composition of the party for this next expedition changed with the arrival of George Band and Chris Brasher, hot-foot from the Bregag­ lia; my wife and Wyss-Dunant dropped out, and Hobhouse, Tyson and I were joined by Eggler, Luchsinger and Fritz Gansser .

Switzerland and the Lausanne region By its central geographical location, Switzerland is an ideal international destination for business, incentive and leisure travel. It is a country with many different facets. It unites an impressive variety of landscapes in a small geographical area and benefits from an exceptional natural heritage. As an important centre for communication and transport between the countries of Northern and Southern Europe, it has a common frontier with Germany, France, Italy, and the Principality of Liechtenstein. The Alpine Arc, just a few kilometers away from Lausanne, features some of the finest mountain peaks like the Matterhorn, Mont Blanc or the Jungfrau, and spectacular passes: Grimsel, St Gotthard, Simplon and Great St Bernard. These natural assets are further enhanced by security and dependability, Swiss values par excellence . The second largest city on the shore of Lake Geneva, Lausanne combines the dynamics of a business town with its ideal location as a holiday resort. Sport and culture are a golden rule in this Olympic capital.
