  • Human Nature in the Valais 1 35
    • • HUMAN NATURE IN THE VALAIS 1 35 HUMAN NATURE IN THE VALAIS BY ARNOLD LUNN (The following article is the substance of an address given by the author to the Alpine Club on May 3, I955·) NTELLECTUAL fashions are as unpredictable as fashions in dress. Morgarten was as romantic in the eyes of the eighteenth-century intellectual as Marathon. If Gibbon had been a better German scholar he would have completed his study of the rise of Switzerland rather than written of the Decline of the Roman Empire. ' There is one theme,' he wrote in 1762, ' which I should prefer to all others, the history of the liberty of the Swiss, of that independence which a brave people rescued from the House of Austria, defended against the Dauphin of France, and finally sealed ~rith the blood of Charles of Burgundy.' For Wordsworth and Shelley it was not only Switzerland but the Swiss who were romantic, but when the common people began to invade the country, the intelligentsia transferred their worship to other shrines. ' Mont Blanc at sunset,' wrote Oscar Wilde, ' flushes like a rose with shame perhaps at the prevalence of the tourists.' There are, of course, tourists who would make any self-respecting mountain blush, but it is amusing to note that people who talk like this always regard themselves as exceptions to the general rule that Switzerland has been ruined by the influx of foreigners. The verdict of the intelligentsia on Switzerland is crystallised in a remark which Graham Greene attributes to one of his characters in The Third Man.

  • Dot's Sierre-Zinal Report
    SIERRE-ZINAL MOUNTAIN RACE SWITZERLAND 12/08/18 “The view that catches your eye as you come out of the Ponchette forest with the sunrise over the ‘imperial crown’ of successive peaks is accentuated with each step in the direction of the five majestic summits that exceed a height of 4000 metres.” This is the description in the brochure for the Sierre-Zinal Mountain Race in the Valais valley in Switzerland. At a boozy lunch with friends following the 2017 Percy Pud road race Kate Morris, of Triathlon X fame, proposed an adventure for the following year: ‘let’s have a go at Sierre-Zinal.’ The reception was positive for the fired up Percy Pudders but not for me this time. After knee surgery just twelve months earlier a 30K, 2225 metres high mountain race in Switzerland would be well outside my comfort zone. A trot up Win Hill might be more my sort of challenge at this stage. I continued to run for pleasure, building up my strength for the occasional fell race and testing my knee at Parkrun. Then in July 2018, about three weeks before the proposed race, the word was that a friend Chris Deery had had to reluctantly withdraw, injured and would I like to take his place? Let’s think about this: •A week in Switzerland within sight of Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn. •A chance to run in the same race (but not the same league) as Kilian Jornet. •Billed as the most scenic mountain race in the world. •More boozy lunches with good friends •And a finishers medal.

  • La Commune De Vissoie De 1798 À 1904
    Tour de Vissoie, par Raphaël Ritz (1829-1894). Musée de la Majorie à Sion La commune de Vissoie de 1798 à 1904 Le régime féodal, en Valais, prit fin avec la Révolution de 1798. Les mandataires des communes du Bas-Valais en profitè­ rent pour proclamer leur indépendance. Une assemblée provi­ soire des représentants de toute la vallée du Rhône s'ouvrit à St-Maurice le 16 mars suivant pour élaborer une nouvelle cons­ titution. En dépit des soulèvements de mai 1798 et 1799, le Valais continua à faire partie de la République helvétique. Au printemps 1802, voyant que son plan d'annexion du Va­ lais à la France avait échoué, Bonaparte fit proclamer le pays république indépendante, sous la protection de la France, de l'Italie et de la Suisse. En 1810, le Valais fut incorporé à la France sous le nom de Département du Simplon. La chute de Napoléon en 1813 lui rendit la liberté. Notre pays entra dans la Confédération en 1815. Cependant, le Haut-Valais continuait à exercer sa prédominance sur le Bas. Celui-ci, de 1830 à 1839, travailla à obtenir une re­ présentation proportionnelle à la diète. Après cette date, plusieurs constitutions éphémères virent le jour en Valais, d'inspiration tantôt libérale, tantôt conservatrice. I. Le territoire de la commune de Vissoie Les limites du territoire de la commune de Vissoie ont beau­ coup varié durant la période qui va de 1798 à 1904. Jusqu'en 1798, aucun plan ne permet de les indiquer exactement.

Over a period of thirty-one days in June and July 1865, Whymper and his guides climbed five mountains and crossed eleven passes.

  • The Cairngorm Club Journal 052, 1919
    The Cairngorm Club Photo by Mrs.R.M.. Williamson. THE FERPICLE GLACIER AND HOTEL BRICOLLA. THE COL DU GRAND CORNIER. BY R. M. WILLIAMSON, - M.A., LL.B. THOSE who know Arolla, one of the choicest pearls in the chain which binds mountain lovers to Switzerland, will remember that less than an hour after passing Evolène theyreach the small village of Haudères, where the driving road ends, and where those bound for Arolla swing sharply to the right and enter a gorge dominated on the left by the Dents de Veisivi. In the village and just before crossing the stream descending from the Ferpècle glacier a rough path turns off sharply to the left, and, winding through larches, brings the wanderer in a little time to the attractive little Ferpècle inn, more like a toy chalet than an inn. One might spend some days in that attractive haven. As it is, it yields us •comfort and solace before entering on the more tiring part of our journey, for we presently get above the trees, there is no shade, and the sun is overhead. The view is, however, one of extraordinary beauty.
