Alpine Pass Route: East to West Across Switzerland - from Sargans to Montreux Pdf FREE ALPINE PASS ROUTE: EAST TO WEST ACROSS SWITZERLAND - FROM SARGANS TO MONTREUX PDF Kev Reynolds | 192 pages | 01 Jan 2010 | Cicerone Press | 9781852844059 | English | Cumbria, United Kingdom Via Alpina Switzerland self-guided walking holiday with Alpine Exploratory The Alpine Pass Route is a kilometre miles hiking trail that spans the breadth of Switzerland. Starting in Sargans on the border with Liechtenstein, it passes up and over sixteen mountain passes before reaching its western terminus at Montreux, situated on Lake Geneva. I completed the Alpine Pass Route in August, Nineteen years and many hiking miles later, it remains one of my favourite European trails. A memorable combination of gorgeous mountain scenery, picturesque villages, great hospitality and some very cool side trips attention Sherlock Holmes and James Bond fans — see below for details. All information has been updated as of November, ………. Sargans train station Starting point for the Alpine Pass Route. Flew from there to join my wife on the Camino — there definitely were a lot of walkers on that and Sarrio to Santiago was a procession. Great info. You can forget wifi up in the mountains. Amazing Idea! Were in zermatt area this summer and i love the hikes. Thanks for the review. Thinking of going there in July but start from the Geneva Area. Which section do you think is the best for 8 days? Sounds like a good way to dust off winter cobwebs. Depending on the Alpine Pass Route: East to West Across Switzerland - From Sargans to Montreux, late June to early October. September is ideal; good weather and not so many people on the trails as school holidays are over. This hike looks terrific! We are looking for a challenging, beautiful hike and will be carrying all our gear tent, etc. In general what would your recommendation be for just some of this hike? Either direction would be great, and by going in early September you will miss the school holiday crowds. Best of luck on your trip. Did this route in long sections this summer, just still have to go from Gstaad to Montreux 38 miles. Were the cow swamps also a problem 20 years ago? Mountain farmers seem to have geared up with their cows heavier speciesmany pastures were really swampy and a mix from manure and deep holes in the ground. The ascent from Grindelwald to Jungfrau is near completely on asphalt and the tourist towns have a lot of new attractions for their obviously bored guests. Everyone seems to mention going from East to West on Via Alpina. Is there a reason for this, or any problem going from Montreux to Sargans instead? Not sure why most people go east to west. I used to live in Vaduz, Liechtenstein which is very close to Sargans. I have done tons of local unknown to tourist day hikes throughout Liechtenstein and the Sargans valley. Your post has brought back so many nice memories I had while living there. Hopefully, I can relive some of these memories while visiting again this year. Karen Portland, ME. Sorry about that. I just got back from Romania and there seems to be alot of hike trails. However, Romania has lots of bears. So, people have cautioned me to hiking alone in these trails without having lots of bear protection… I have really liked the Brasov area which is in Transylvania… still old world charm, 14th century fortressed walls, gothic churches, forts, clock towers, etc…. Regards, Karen. Romania certainly does pique my interest. It is a place I have thought about going for many years. I still have the book, though I suspect some of the logistical info may be a little bit outdated. Would love to hear more about the area, learn anything useful, share experience. Fred the sepo Alpine Pass Route: East to West Across Switzerland - From Sargans to Montreux here. Came across your site. What a treasure! Talk about a blast from the past……great to hear from you! Hope all is well with you in the States. I also hope you make it back to the Alps one of these days to finish off the rest of the Alpine Pass Route. Hey, I did it! It was about 2 years ago when I read this and thought I would go last year, but ended up going this September-October and ended up going East to West after all. Some tips from my experience…. Via Alpina as well as other alternative trails are fully complete in the app making navigation a complete no-brainer. I was late season and in some areas post-season so some huts were closed and in other areas places were swamped with tourists Asian holiday. This was a mistake. Likewise, there are places off of Via Alpina that are worth checking out and are very easy to get to by train if you want to take a break from hiking. I had a backpack Alpine Pass Route: East to West Across Switzerland - From Sargans to Montreux stuff from Oktoberfest and other stuff I wanted after the hike Alpine Pass Route: East to West Across Switzerland - From Sargans to Montreux they just took the backpack as is no box or anything and sent it ahead to Montreux. You can also ship to many places along the way if you want any special supplies. One of the things that took me a while to get used to was trying to be overly precise in navigating and following the right trail. This is especially true when it comes to viewing the topography and deciding whether or not you want to go a short steep route or a longer flatter route. Likewise, I ended in Saint-Gingolph, France which is a charming little village with a ferry to Montreux. I live in Switzerland and use this app for all my research, and for navigation on trail. A group of 20 or so of us from Signal Squadron British Army did this route in Alpine Pass Route: East to West Across Switzerland - From Sargans to Montreux prior to our winter training in the arctic. We split into two parties one leaving from Montreaux, the other from Sargans, meeting up in the middle for a beer or two. This remains one of the best long distance hikes I have done, probably only bested by the Grand Canyon. Wild camping was the main end of day routine but did use a regular camping site in Montreaux on the last leg. Farmers were always offering access to a barn or a field. The route described here ends at the terminus but we went to the lake and just dived off the pier. Hi Andy, What a great message! Thanks for taking the time to share your story. Cheers, Cam.

Lake Oeschinen Switzerland, Yours truly on pass 7. Share this: Email Facebook Twitter. Probably the central section through the Bernese Oberland region. Best of luck on your hike this year, and glad the post brought back some good memories! Hey Karen, Romania certainly does pique my interest. Thanks very much for the message! Hi Cameron! Hey Fred, Talk about a blast from the past……great to hear from you! Thanks a lot for dropping me a line. You just made my morning! Some tips from my experience… 1 Definitely use the Maps. Anyway, thanks Cam and others for the advice and inspiration. It was an amazing journey!!! Congrats, Kevin! And thank you very much for such detailed and up-to-date feedback. Hi A group of 20 or so of us from Signal Squadron British Army did this route in June prior to our winter training in the arctic. We used a book written by Jonathan Hurdle as our planning guide, still have it in fact. We were always met with a friendly face and advice, even if it was offered in 3 languages: The route described here ends at the terminus but we went to the lake and just dived off the pier.

Bezeichnenderweise ist der namengebende Hausstock der erste hochalpine Gipfel, den der Besucher sieht, wenn er bei Ziegel- brücke in das Tal hinein fährt. Vom Gestein her haben Chärpf- und Hausstockgruppe jedoch wenig gemeinsam. Beim Chärpf dominieren Eruptivgesteine das Erscheinungsbild, hier ist es der Flysch. Nirgends sind die Wände, die Kessel, die Schutthalden gewaltiger als in den Talabschlüs- sen von Hintersulz und Wichlen. Nur einzelne Gipfelaufbauten bestehen aus Kalkstein. Und der ist häufi g kaum stabiler als der Flysch darunter. Die Gruppe besteht aus zwei Hauptachsen. Eine davon bildet der Grat, der bei Linthal beginnt, in südlicher Richtung verläuft und beim Muttenwändli endet. Die andere Achse wird vom bedeutend längeren Grat gebildet, der beim Richetlipass beginnt, über Lei- terberg und Mättlenstöck zum Hausstock ansteigt und sich dort in drei Äste aufgabelt.

  • Tectonic Evolution of the Engi Slates, Glarus Alps, Switzerland
    Tectonic evolution of the Engi Slates, Glarus Alps, Switzerland 1,2 1,3 DETA GASSER & BAS DEN BROK 1Geological Institute, ETH Central Campus, Universitätsstrasse 6, 8092 Zürich, Switzerland. 2Present address: Department for Earth Sciences, Universitätsplatz 2, 8010 Graz, Austria. 3Present address: Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (Eawag), Überlandstrasse 133, 8600 Dübendorf, Switzerland Corresponding author: D. Gasser. E-mail: [email protected] Running title: Tectonic evolution of the Engi Slates Keywords: Engi Slates, Glarus Alps, Infrahelvetic Complex, North Helvetic Flysch Abstract We present a geological map, profiles and the results of a detailed structural analysis of the Lower Oligocene Engi Slates southwest of the village of Engi in the Sernft Valley in canton Glarus (Switzerland). In this area, the Engi Slates are folded on a deca- to hectometer scale into tight NW-vergent folds with sharp hinges. This took place during the Plattenberg F1 folding phase. No axial plane foliation was formed. The F1 folds are unconformably cut-off by a 16-25° NE dipping thrust, along which Eocene marls were emplaced onto the folded Engi Slates. We refer to this thrust as Riedboden Thrust and correlate it with the base of the upper, chaotic part of the Wildflysch Nappe of Oberholzer (1942). This is a (probably tectonic) mélange of rocks from the underlying Sardona, Blattengrat and North Helvetic Flysch Units. It lies as a 5 to 100 m thick, more or less continuous nappe below the Glarus Thrust. A younger, SE-dipping tectonic foliation (Plattenberg F2 foliation) cuts both through the folded Engi Slates, the Riedboden Thrust and the Eocene marls.
