Breitling Super Constellation Flight Program 2016 the Attached Schedule Reflects the Planning Status As of Ende Februar 2016 Breitling Super Constellation Flight program 2016 The attached schedule reflects the planning status as of Ende Februar 2016. This schedule is subject to change without notice. Re- quests for seat reservations are final and cannot be accepted prior to April 18th, 2016. Please choose from the following options when making your reservation: 1. click the link on our website www.superconstellation.ch/connie. This is for SCFA members only (in order to access you must be a member, have paid your annual membership fee for 2016, and have your member number available) 2. send an email to [email protected] to request a seat reservation 3. call our information number at 079 799 1049 (international calls dial +41 79 799 1049) The SCFA is solely responsible for the organization and execution of flights. Any accommodations and transportation must be organized by the member. Due to legal restrictions the SCFA is unable to assist in these matters. In most cases local organizers offer assistance with these services. The SCFA has the right to cancel round trips for which there are less than 26 reservations 14 days before the flight. For last minute or short notice reservations, the contribution has to be paid no later than 2 weeks in advance, or immediately when making the seat request. Without advance payment, you will not be accepted on a flight. In case of postponement or cancellation of a flight for any reason or at any time before or during the flight, there will be no reim- bursement of cost contribution. You will receive a credit of the remaining amount towards another flight whenever possible. Scheduled flights and planned routes are dependent upon weather conditions. The SCFA will advise you as promptly as possible of any flight cancellations or postponements. Therefore we require a cellphone number to be provided by each member at the time of seat reservation, so we can reach you as soon as possible in case there is a change to your flight. For an on time departure, your compliance with the check-in time is indispensable (group transfer from the meeting point to the Connie). Members arriving late will not be able to participate in the flight (logistic reasons prohibit individual passenger transfers).

  • Die Hinterlassenschaft Der Letzten Eiszeit Zusammenfassung
    Die Hinterlassenschaft der letzten Eiszeit 1 Die Hinterlassenschaft der letzten Eiszeit Zusammenfassung In der Eiszeit war der grösste Teil von Obwalden vom Eis des Brünigarms des Aaregletschers bedeckt. Das belegen viele Granit-Findlinge. Es handelt sich dabei um vom Gletscher aus dem Grimselgebiet über den Brünig nach Obwalden transportierte Blöcke. Nach dem allmählichen Rückzug der Gletscher ab ca. 16‘000 Jahren vor unserer Zeit, hinterliessen sie gletschergeschliffene Seitenhänge mit viel fruchtbarem Moränenmaterial und ein tief eingeschnittenes Sarneraatal, bei welchem der „Ur- Vierwaldstättersee“ anfänglich bis Giswil reichte. Die Flüsse in Obwalden, vor allem die Grosse Melchaa und die Grosse und Kleine Schliere aber brachten viel Geschiebe, füllten das Talbecken teilweise auf und trennten mit der Zeit den Sarnersee vom Vierwaldstättersee ab. Mit dem Rückzug der Gletscher wurden gewisse Seitenhänge instabil. Der Bergssturz von Engelberg stürzte nach heutiger Erkenntnis noch auf einen Gletscher im Tal. Erste Bergstürze am Stanserhorn vermutlich auch. Andere Hangbereiche stürzten nicht ab, aber kamen langsam ins Gleiten. Die grossen Sackungen von Stalden und die Sackung am Arvigrat werden so erklärt. Der grosse Bergsturz von Kerns wird dagegen heute als das Resultat eines grossen Erdbebens ca. 2‘200 Jahren vor unserer Zeit angesehen. Die gewaltigen Eismassen, welche durch die Täler bis weit ins Schweizer Mittelland vorstiessen, formten bei ihren Vorstössen durch Druck und schleifende Eisfliessbewegungen die Landschaft und hinterliessen nach ihrem Rückzug deutliche Spuren ihres Wirkens. Es werden im Artikel einzelne, noch heute in der Landschaft erkennbare Spuren dieser landschaftsformenden Überprägung durch die Eiszeit beschrieben. Damit soll kein vollständiger Beschrieb der Talgeschichte von Obwalden entstehen, aber an einzelnen Beispielen gezeigt werden, wie das eiszeitliche Erbe die Entwicklung der Kulturlandschaften mitprägte und bis in die heutige Zeit von grossem Nutzen für uns Menschen ist.

Vor uns liegt der Jura, dahinter erheben sich die Ketten der Zentralschweizer Voralpen und Alpen. Über der Bildmitte ist knapp der Pilatus zu erkennen, darüber thront der Titlis. Zwischen den beiden erstrecken sich die Halbkantone Nidwalden und Obwalden. Es ist kaum zu glauben, dass dort zwei Halbkantone Platz haben, die zusammen grösser sind als die beiden Basel. 4 Obwalden Nidwalden Auf den Klein-Titlis führt von Engelberg her eine Seilbahn in vier Sektionen; diese, die oberste, ist eine Drehkabi- nenseilbahn. Mitten durch diese Eiswelt zieht sich die Kantonsgrenze zwischen Nidwalden und Obwalden. 5 Gross Titlis Der Klein Titlis ist 3062 m hoch; er trägt einen riesigen Sendemast, der sogar vom Jura aus deutlich sichtbar ist. Auf 3032 m Höhe steht die Berg- station der Titlis-Seilbahn mit dem grossen Restaurant (Pfeil). Hier ist auch der Anfang der Skipiste, die im Winter zum Trübsee führt. Damit der Gletscher im Sommer nicht zu stark wegschmilzt, ist er mit weissem Vlies verpackt.

  • Breaking with Tradition Breaking
    Jennings breaking with tradition Over 150 years of research in the Circum-Alpine region have produced a vast with tradition breaking amount of data on the lakeshore and wetland settlements found throughout the area. Particularly in the northern region, dendrochronological studies have provided highly accurate sequences of occupation, which have correlated, in turn, to palaeoclimatic reconstructions in the area. The result has been the general conclusion that the lake- dwelling tradition was governed by climatic factors, with communities abandoning the lakeshore during periods of inclement conditions, and returning when the climate was more favourable. Such a cyclical pattern occurred from the 4th millennium BC to 800 BC, at which time the lakeshores were abandoned and never extensively re- occupied. Was this final break with a long-lasting tradition solely the result of climatic fluctuation, or were cultural factors a more decisive influence for the decline of lake- dwelling occupation? Studies of material culture have shown that some of the Late Bronze Age lake- dwellings in the northern Alpine region were significant centres for the production and exchange of bronzework and manufactured products, linking northern Europe to the southern Alpine forelands and beyond. However, during the early Iron Age the former lake-dwelling region does not show such high levels of incorporation to long-distance exchange systems. Combining the evidence of material culture studies with occupation patterns and burial practices, this volume proposes an alternative to the climatically-driven models of lake-dwelling abandonment. This is not to say that climate change did not influence those communities, but that it was only one factor among many.
