A Hydrographic Approach to the Alps
• • 330 A HYDROGRAPHIC APPROACH TO THE ALPS A HYDROGRAPHIC APPROACH TO THE ALPS • • • PART III BY E. CODDINGTON SUB-SYSTEMS OF (ADRIATIC .W. NORTH SEA] BASIC SYSTEM ' • HIS is the only Basic System whose watershed does not penetrate beyond the Alps, so it is immaterial whether it be traced·from W. to E. as [Adriatic .w. North Sea], or from E. toW. as [North Sea . w. Adriatic]. The Basic Watershed, which also answers to the title [Po ~ w. Rhine], is short arid for purposes of practical convenience scarcely requires subdivision, but the distinction between the Aar basin (actually Reuss, and Limmat) and that of the Rhine itself, is of too great significance to be overlooked, to say nothing of the magnitude and importance of the Major Branch System involved. This gives two Basic Sections of very unequal dimensions, but the ., Alps being of natural origin cannot be expected to fall into more or less equal com partments. Two rather less unbalanced sections could be obtained by differentiating Ticino.- and Adda-drainage on the Po-side, but this would exhibit both hydrographic and Alpine inferiority. (1) BASIC SECTION SYSTEM (Po .W. AAR]. This System happens to be synonymous with (Po .w. Reuss] and with [Ticino .w.

The Romansch Way the Most Beautiful Ski-Ramble in the Engadine
The Romansch Way The most beautiful ski-ramble in the Engadine WALTER LORCH For some 150 years Brits have climbed, ski'd and charted the Alps. In 1861 members of the Mpine Club established the 'High Level Route' known today as the Haute Route - the classic crossing from Chamonix to Zermatt and Saas Fee. Early this century Arnold Lunn introduced the world to downhill racing and ski slalom, landmarks indeed. Over the past 20 years the Nordic ski has infiltrated the Alps, Brits being notable by their absence. Ski de randonnee to the French, Skiwandern and Langlauf to the German-speaking people and cross-country skiing to the English-speaking world, has brought a third dimension to the world of skiing: independence from the clutter and queues of mechanical transportand access to fairy-tale lands away from the crowds. But, most important of all, ski-rambling gives a sense of physical well-being and achievement known so well to sailors and mountaineers. The choice of terrain is endless and the cost low. After more than half a century of ski-mountaineering and downhill skiing, with an occasional excursion on Nordic skis, I decided to explore this new, yet ancient mode of snow travel over true alpine territory. The Engadine appealed most and, finally, two factors decided my choice: firstly, the Engadine is different from the rest of Switzerland. So is the language. So are the people. So is the weather. While the sun shines in Sils and Scuol, the rest of Switzerland may be covered in mist. The route leads along the River Inn, across frozen lakes, flanked by the panorama of the Engadine giants, loved by every skier.
