Wikipedia describes a digital detox as a period of time during which a person refrains from using electronic connecting devices such as smartphones and computers. This time is seen as the chance to distress, step back from social media and concentrate instead on the physical world.

    Media release HOLD-BACK PERIOD none DOCUMENT 3 pages ENCLOSURE Images will be available via this link from 3 p.m.: www.swiss-image.ch/gostadlerrail Altenrhein, 15 April 2019 Roll-out of separable multiple-units: the Rhaetian Railway and Stadler unveil their new «Capricorn» train The Rhaetian Railway (RhB) and Stadler today celebrated the roll-out of the new «Capricorn» for Switzerland’s largest canton in the company of around 120 guests from business and politics. The multiple unit was presented to the public for the first time. These trains can be operated as separable multiple units, which has never been possible before in Graubünden. This will allow the half-hourly cycle on single-track routes to be completed without costly line extensions. Stadler is building a total of 36 four-car trains for the RhB. It is the largest purchase of new rolling stock in the history of the RhB. Dr. Renato Fasciati, Director of RhB, and Dr. Thomas Ahlburg, Group CEO of Stadler, together presented the «Capricorn» to the public for the first time today. Around 120 guests from business and politics watched the spectacular entrance of the new multiple unit live in Altenrhein. The two CEOs ceremonially cut the red ribbon on descending from the new train. The roll-out is one of the most important milestones in the creation of a rail vehicle featuring highly-complex technology. It is usual in the industry to duly celebrate reaching this stage in the process. The RhB placed an order worth 361 million Swiss francs with Stadler for the electric low-floor multiple units at the end of June 2016.

  • 2017 France, Jura
    Jura Winter Meet 14 - 20 January Leader - Mick Borroff Introduction The Haut Jura straddles the Franco-Swiss border to the north of Geneva and is characterised by long parallel limestone ridges and valleys along a northeast-southwest axis. Moving SW along this ridge from the north, the principal summits include Le Chasseron (1607m), Mt d’Or (1462m), Dent de Vaulion (1483m), Mt Tendre (1679m), Mt Sala (1511m), Le Noirmont (1567m), La Dole (1677m), Columby de Gex (1689m), Cret de la Neige (1717m) and Le Reculet (1718m). The panoramic view from these Jura summits across to the main alpine chain is magnificent, ranging from the Bernese Oberland to the Ecrins. The excellent PeakFinder website will give you a good idea of what is to be seen from many individual summits.
