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.

At the highly frequented Gornergrat in Switzerland there was a need to develop a concept to demerge the paths of hikers and mountain bikers and thus enable a conflict-free use for all user groups. The pre- sent study aimed at providing vegetation maps of the sensible areas at Gornergrat to derive recommendations for the planning and res- toration of the new trail network. For this purpose, we sampled 32 vegetation plots (10 m²). These were then subjected to TWINSPAN classification, and the derived five units characterized by their diagnostic species based on standardized phi-values. We used ANOVA to test for differences of these units with regard to environmental parameters. The five distinguished vegetation units were assigned to syntaxa down to the alliance level.

  • Permafrost Distribution and Implications for Construction in the Zermatt Area, Swiss Alps
    PERMAFROST DISTRIBUTION AND IMPLICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION IN THE ZERMATT AREA, SWISS ALPS Lorenz King, Annette Kalisch Geographisches Institut der JLU Senckenbergstr. 1 D-35390 Giessen, Germany e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Zermatt is one of the prime tourist sites in Switzerland with a large number of structures built for transport and accommodation. The surrounding mountains reach altitudes of more than 4500 m a.s.l. and the areas above 3300 m are glaciated. Well developed periglacial forms and numerous rock glaciers are an expression of intense frost action. The permafrost distribution was calculated with different models and checked in the field with geophysical soundings, BTS-measurements and continuous ground temperature recordings. The construction of larger buildings in permafrost areas has become more frequent in recent years, and these conditions demand careful considerations in environmental engineering. Whereas buildings constructed at the beginning of this century sometimes suffer from the melting of frozen ground, modern construction techniques are usually well adapted to the permafrost conditions. However, small disturbances of the permafrost environ- ment may result in serious operation and maintenance difficulties. Introduction Location of the area and climate The characteristics of mountain permafrost and the Zermatt is one of the prime tourist centres in basics of its distribution in the Alps have been well Switzerland with about 16,000 beds and about 1 million researched, especially since the 1970's and 1980's registered overnight stays per year. Although the town (Barsch, 1973; 1978; Haeberli, 1975; 1985; King et al., itself is in permafrost-free terrain at an altitude of 1600 1992).
