Die Via Alpina führt Sie durch Täler und Schluchten, vorbei an den drei „stolzen Schweizern“ Eiger, Mönch und Jungfrau bis in den Schweizer Ferienort Adelboden-Lenk. Bären werden Sie zwar mit größter Wahrscheinlichkeit nicht begegnen, da diese Trekkingtour den Namen der Zeit verdankt in der die Strecke nur von wilden Tieren passiert werden konnte. Doch auch heute ist der Bärentrek kein Spaziergang, da es einige Pässe zu überqueren gilt. Auf den Höhen und Gipfeln werden Sie jedoch für Ihren alpinistischen Einsatz belohnt. Lassen Sie die vollkommene und imposante Schönheit der Alpen auf sich wirken. Tourenverlauf 1.

  • The Via Alpina Across Switzerland: Part I Trip# 1828 18 August–2 September 2018
    The Trekker’s Trek— The Via Alpina across Switzerland: Part I Trip# 1828 18 August–2 September 2018 Approach to Grindelwald, Switzerland at sunset Backpacker magazine selected Switzerland’s Via Alpina as “The World’s Best Hike” for 370 km ​ ​ of scenery, cheese, and chocolate. “Your first view of the Eiger massif will spoil you for the rest ​ of your hiking days. The Via Alpina could offer nothing else and still be world-class. The chocolate, historic villages, on-time trains, and luxe hut system are pure gravy.” ​ The Via Alpina consists of a network of five long-distance hiking trails across the alpine regions of Slovenia, Austria, Germany, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Italy, France, and Monaco. Our trip focuses on the Swiss portion. It follows the Via Alpina trail which starts in Sargans in eastern ​ ​ Switzerland and then connects in the middle of the blue arrowed segment below with the Swiss ​ National Route #1 to finish in Montreux on Lake Geneva. Henceforth when the term Via Alpina ​ (VA) is used, it refers strictly to our chosen Swiss route as indicated by the red and blue arrows below. Via Alpina Trek Year I: red arrow Year II: blue arrow ​ ​ ​ ​ The VA crosses fourteen of the most beautiful Alpine passes. Hikers experience a fascinating variety of culture, geology and topography on a journey across six Swiss cantons. There is no better way to get to know the many facets of Swiss Alpine culture. The route is lined with one of the world’s most diverse variety of flora and fauna. Shifts, thrusts, depressions and rockfalls are evidence of an interesting geological structure.

    International Summary Evaluation Report on the Via Alpina Summer 2007 Evaluation Campaign - COUNTRIES INVOLVED: AUSTRIA, GERMANY, ITALY, FRANCE, SWITZERLAND AND SLOVENIA - CONTACTS: VIA ALPINA International Secretariat Pôle évaluation/Association Grande Traversée des Alpes 14 rue de la République, BP 227, F- 38019 GRENOBLE Cedex, France Tel. (+33/0) 4 76 42 08 31, Fax (+33/0) 4 76 42 87 08, Email: [email protected] Via Alpina Evaluation – international Summary - Summer 2007 2/16 METHODOLOGY: The results illustrated in the following document derive from an evaluation campaign that was carried out throughout the Alpine space in summer 2007. They stem from a more general campaign that was launched in 2004 by grouping together regional development and tourist development research teams from the six countries involved in the initiative (Austria, Germany, Italy, France, Switzerland and Slovenia). A common methodology was defined and then reviewed after a first survey campaign launched in 2005 and during four years of group work to better study the perception and effects of the actions that had been implemented. On the one hand, research is based on questionnaires to hikers directly on the field and, on the other hand, on semi-structured interviews with local actors. In 2005 surveys to local actors had been made in a few test areas representing the various levels of tourist development; whereas in 2007 research focused on the “Via Alpina pilot projects” development sites, as strengthened action areas, with the aim to observe the maximum impact of the project (likely to further guide the transfer of pilot experiences to other locations).

  • From Trieste to Monaco a Hiking Trail to Discover the Eight Alpine Countries
    THE VIA ALPINA From Trieste to Monaco A hiking trail to discover the eight Alpine countries Project presentation February 2014 Via Alpina – Project presentation, February 2014 1 Via Alpina, right through the Alps… At the outset the area was immense and the project a truly ambitious one: to help discover a unique region of 200,000 square kilometres of peaks and valleys, of high mountain pastures and forests, of large villages and hamlets by creating THE definitive trail for hiking and the discovery of the entire Alpine space. Since 2002 the Via Alpina has been winding from Trieste (Italy) to Monaco, from the Adriatic sea to the Mediterranean, its 5000 kilometres of walking tracks marked out into 5 trails through eight European countries: Slovenia, Italy, Austria, Germany, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, France and the Principality of Monaco. It gives you an exceptional invitation to discover, on foot, through some of the most fabulous mountain landscapes, the history, culture and the way of life in the Alpine mountain communities. Via Alpina – Project presentation, February 2014 2 And first, a bit of history… 1991: a political will – The Alpine Convention is signed. An international Treaty ratified by eight countries – Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Slovenia, Liechtenstein and Monaco – and the European Union, with the shared objective of ensuring sustainable development of the entire Alpine region (see also page 12). 1999: a visionary project – On the initiative of the Grande Traversée des Alpes (a French association specialising in walking tourism) a project for a great transalpine walking trail is launched both as a symbolic link between the eight countries who have signed up to the Alpine Convention, as the cultural expression of the Alpine region and to support the development of sustainable tourism.
