  • Alphubel (4206 M)

    Alphubel (4206 M)

    Alphubel (4206 m) Hochtour | Walliser Alpen 500+1500 Hm | insg. 12:00 Std. | Schwierigkeit (3 von 6) Vom Gletscherdorf Saas-Fee aus präsentiert sich der Alphubel von seiner schönsten Seite - als gewaltiger Gletscherkoloss und als einer der markantesten Viertausender überhaupt. Der Normalweg führt auf der Rückseite des Berges vom Mattertal über die heimelige Täschhütte auf das große Gipfelplateau, das wie ein riesiger Tanzplatz zwischen Himmel und Erde wirkt. Technisch gehört die Normalroute auf den Alphubel zu den leichteren Routen auf einen der für das Tourenbuch so begehrten Viertausender. © Tourentipp.com 2021 Seite 1/3 1 2 3 4 5 6 Schwierigkeit Kondition Gefahrenpotenzial Landschaft Frequentierung Anfahrt: Von Deutschland mit dem Auto über Oberalppass / Furka oder via Lötschberg-Bahnverladung ins Rhônetal nach Visp. Weiter von Visp über Stalden ins Mattertal nach Täsch (1450 m). Empfehlenswert ist auch die Anreise per Bahn über Zürich und Visp direkt nach Täsch. Von Täsch aus führt eine kleine Bergstraße zur Siedlung Ottavan auf der Täschalp (2205 m), dort gebührenfreier Parkplatz. Bahnreisende können auch eines der regelmäßig verkehrenden Sammeltaxis nutzen (SFr. 10,-, Stand 2013). Ausgangspunkt: Siedlung Ottavan auf der Täschalp (2205 m) im Mattertal Route: Hüttenzustieg: Auf gut beschildertem, breiten Hüttenweg in ca. 1 ¼ Stunden direkt zur Täschhütte (2701 m). Die Hütte ist bereits vom Parkplatz aus zu sehen. Gipfelanstieg: Von der Täschhütte (2701 m) führt ein deutlicher Weg (Schild: Alphubelsee) zunächst Richtung Ostsüdosten über zwei der drei „Schreienden Bäche“ in den Chumibodmen. Nun am dritten Bach entlang, jetzt steiler durch Blockwerk in östlicher Richtung. Die deutliche Spur verliert sich in verschiedenen kleinen Wegen, die aber alle über weichen Gletschersand am großen Alphubelsee vorbei zum Anseilplatz auf einer Felsenrippe am südlichen Arm des Alphubelgletschers führen (3300 m).

    Streiflichter Zur Hotel- Und Tourismusgeschichte Im Saastal Bis Zum Ersten Weltkrieg 1

    STREIFLICHTER ZUR HOTEL- UND TOURISMUSGESCHICHTE IM SAASTAL BIS ZUM ERSTEN WELTKRIEG 1 Roland Flückiger-Seiler 1 Die Entdeckung und Erforschung der Alpenwelt Wichtige Grundlagen für die Entdeckung der Schweizer Alpen als «Garten Edens» leisteten engagierte Forscher und Schriftsteller bereits im frühen 18. Jahrhun- dert. Einer der Ersten war der Zürcher Arzt und Universalgelehrte Johann Jakob Scheuchzer (1672–1733), der sich als erster Naturforscher nach dem lähmenden 17. Jahrhundert mit wissenschaftlichen Absichten in die Alpen wagte. In den Som- mermonaten durchstreifte er mit seinen Studenten alpine Gegenden und sammelte alle erdenklichen Daten über Natur und Umwelt. Mit diesem Wissen publizierte er 1713 eine vierteilige Karte der Schweiz, die lange Zeit als beste Darstellung der Eidgenossenschaft galt. Die von ihm erhobenen Daten und die eigene Beobach- tung des Gebirges auf seinen Wanderungen über fast alle Schweizer Alpenpässe bildeten die Basis für das seit 1702 in mehreren Auflagen erschienene Lebenswerk ‹Itinera per Helvetiae alpinas regiones›. Bereits 1704 nahm ihn die «Royal Socie- ty» in London als Mitglied auf, eine damals äusserst seltene Ehre für einen Aus- länder. Die Verbreitung seiner naturwissenschaftlichen Arbeiten über die Schweiz 1 Diese Übersicht basiert auf Texten, die der Autor in seinem Buch ‹Berghotels zwischen Alp- weide und Gipfelkreuz› 2015 im Verlag Hier und Jetzt, Baden, veröffentlicht hat. Inzwischen sind noch weitere Fakten zum Vorschein gekommen und die Texte zum Saastal sind hier über- sichtlich zusammengefasst. Der Autor möchte bei dieser Gelegenheit allen danken, die ihn bei seinen Forschungen im Saastal unterstützt haben und noch unterstützen: In erster Linie Damian Bumann als Archivar im «Historischen Archiv Saastal» (HAS). Dann geht der Dank auch an den Stiftungsrat von «Saas ischi Heimat» sowie an Beat Anthamatten und Bernhard Andenmatten, die mir zu wertvollem Material verholfen haben.
  • Traversée Dirruhorn-Nadelhorn Ou Nadelgrat (Course Non Réalisée – Texte En Cours D’Écriture)∗

    Traversée Dirruhorn-Nadelhorn Ou Nadelgrat (Course Non Réalisée – Texte En Cours D’Écriture)∗

    Nadelhorn, 4327 m Traversée Dirruhorn-Nadelhorn ou Nadelgrat (Course non réalisée – Texte en cours d’écriture)∗ Les arêtes dont on décrit la traversée dans ces feuillets, qui relient le Dirruhorn (4035 m) au Nadelhorn (4327 m) suivant un axe NW-SE, font partie des Mischabel. Le Massif des Mischabels1 est parfois défini comme la chaîne montagneuse orientée nord-sud qui sé- pare les vallées de Zermatt à l’ouest et de Saas à l’est, dans le canton du Valais en Su- isse [5]. Selon cette description hydrologique, il serait normal de la faire descendre jusqu’au Schwarzberghorn (3609 m), qui est le point de partage des eaux entre les deux vaux préc- ités et le Val Anzasca en Italie, ou en tout cas de trouver un nom à cette chaîne. Cette définition donnerait au Massif des Mischabels une collection de 11 sommets de plus de 4000 m2 ; une fameuse brochette, contenant donc plus d’un huitième de l’ensemble des 82 sommets de plus de 4000 m des Alpes, homologués par UIAA3. Mais voilà, pour une raison qui nous échappe, la coutume en a décidé autrement et certains auteurs donnent au Mas- sif des Mischabels une étendue moindre au sud, en le limitant à l’Hohlaubgrat à l’Allalin (4027 m) [5], à l’Alphubel (4206 m) [4 ; p. 105] ou même au Täschhorn (4491 m) [2 ; p. 4]. On ne sera pas surpris d’apprendre, qu’avec de telles altitudes, cette échine de sommets forme une barrière difficilement franchissable ; son col le plus bas permettant de la traverser s’élève en effet déjà à 3539 m (situé près du col Schwarzberg Weisstor, qui lui fait 3562 m, il est sans nom sur la CNS), mais est difficile à franchir à cause d’une barre rocheuse4.
  • IN and out of SAAS. G. W. Murray

    IN and out of SAAS. G. W. Murray

    IN AND OUT OF SAAS IN AN.D OUT OF SAAS BY G. w. MURRAY OST of us are agreed that our mountaineering ought to be rather more than an indiscriminate attack upon the perpendicular. That is to say, we do employ some method in our choice of objective, even if we restrict our assaults to the V£ertausender. Such a selection seems austere but rather too exclusive. Some years ago, when the peak-baggers were at their worst and they saw the glorious sky-lines of Saas and Zermatt only as so many scenic railways, I devised a game far better suited to my dignity and middle age. According to this convention, the Saas valley, from afar, was considered a stronghold to be carried at all hazards while, once an entrance had been forced, it became a prison to be broken out of at no matter what cost of in­ genuity or agility. A route, once made, was not to be repeated. Half a dozen -vvays, such as the' Col de Stalden,' the Simeli-Sirwolten route, the Rossboden Pass, the Monte Moro, the Adler and the Allalin, had already been done, and so were disqualified. Another obvious one, the Antrona, -vvas closed to us by the Italian Government. The Zwischbergen Pass appeared unworthy of the new idea; moreover, one easy route had to be left to the future in case we found ourselves condemned by old age and the convention to reside in Saas for the rest of our natural lives. But to find a seventh and better route professional advice and assistance became necessary, so I enlisted as our ally Oscar Supersaxo.

  • The Matterhorn Centenary

    The Matterhorn Centenary

    TI-IE MATTERHORN CENTENARY THE MATTERHORN CENTENARY BY B. R. GOODFELLO'IV (Five illustrations: nos. 50- 54) DWARD WHYMPER must have appreciated in his lifetime that his ascent of the Matterhorn and his own dramatic account of the ............. disaster had added immeasurably to the glamour of that incom­ parable mountain. So he must have realised the great contribution which he made personally to the greater prosperity of the people of Zermatt; they have long acknowledged this and the centenary was closely linked with Whymper"s name. But he could scarcely have foreseen the impact of to-day's mass affluence, of the rise of ski-ing and of universal publicity on the Alpine village he had known first over 100 years ago. We had all expected for some years that the centenary of the Matter­ horn ascent would be used by Zermatt for publicity on the grand scale. With the true mountain lovers' distaste for the prostitution of the Alps for commercial ends, many decided to keep away in 1965. But by doing so they missed a great occasion. For, although the Festival Week was unashamedly dedicated to Zermatt propaganda, the whole of the func­ tions were conducted in the very best of taste. Above all Zermatt, for this week, was the meeting place for mountaineers from all over Europe and from America, India and further afield. Enjoying the warm and generous hospitality of our Swiss hosts, we made many valuable new friendships and renewed old ones. The Alpine Club came in some strength, more than fifty in number, many with their wives and some with their families.

    The A.M.A. Alpine Meet, 1959

    214 THE A.M.A. ALPINE MEET, 1959 THE A.M.A. ALPINE MEET, 1959 BY E. J. E. MILLS N MAY 1957 the Army Mountaineering Association came into being. The loss of easy access to the Himalaya had in no way diminished the numbers of post-war soldier mountaineers. As in civil life, mountaineering was gaining a larger following in the Army. Their enthusiasm had been demonstrated by the Parachute Brigade Expedi­ tions to Ruwenzori in 1954 and Alaska1 in 1956. These two ventures had also shown that if the right approaches were made, the \Var Office were prepared to give support and encouragement. By early 1957 the planning of the Army-inspired British-Pakistani Forces Himalayan Expedition had begun and in that same year there were no less than seven major corps or regimental mountaineering clubs in existence. 1\llountaineering was still not, however, officially recognised as a sport by the Army and as such was denied the advan­ tages mainly financial which other pursuits enjoyed. This was anomalous, for climbing was pursued far more actively and enthusiasti­ cally than many 'official' sports. It was therefore obvious that the interests of Army climbers would best be served by the formation of an authoritative body which could gain this recognition and foster mountaineering in the service. ) The first moves to set up such an organisation were made by Col. Gerry Finch. The idea of the Army Mountaineering Association was largely his and, although supported by several officers, who were also members of the Alpine Club, it was through his efforts and enthusiasm that the Association came into being.
