This applies to the entire canton of Grisons and is unique in the Alps. A tolerant and respectful approach by all parties makes this possible. Our ‘7 thinking steps to happy riding’ provide more ideas to make you a happy biker. Somewhat tongue in cheek, they demonstrate the bike culture promoted in Davos Klosters. davos.ch/happy-riding klosters.ch/happy-riding TRAIL CREW WHETHER YOU’RE A MOUNTAIN BIKER, HIKER OR TRAIL RUNNER – A WELL MAINTAINED TRACK PROVIDES ENJOYMENT FOR EVERY USER! Davos Klosters is seen as pioneering in the bike scene and has employed a Trail Crew for many years. The Trail Crew shapers are out and about on our tracks every day. Apart from maintaining the tracks to prevent erosion and damage to the landscape, they also build stream crossings, shovel away landslides, maintain the environment, construct passes through fences and more. Apart from its manual work, the Trail Crew also discusses, considers and tests things out with landowners, farmers, cable car workers, bikers and hikers. Only by doing so can the crew understand what matters to people and what can still be improved. davos.ch/trailcrew klosters.ch/trailcrew SHARE THE TRAIL 12 13 PISCHA Highlights • Magnificent views into the Flüela Valley and across to Davos and NO 645 the lake • Track follows the ridge as far at the BIKE TOUR WITH A FLOWING DESCENT Hüreli AND MAGNIFICENT VIEWS OVER DAVOS • Ideal picnic spot on the Hüreli or by the Pischa mountain station As you enter the Dischma Valley, the track heads up to In den • Descent from the Hüreli to Davos via Büelen and then follows a single track as far as Tschuggen.

  • Switzerland 4Th Periodical Report
    Strasbourg, 15 December 2009 MIN-LANG/PR (2010) 1 EUROPEAN CHARTER FOR REGIONAL OR MINORITY LANGUAGES Fourth Periodical Report presented to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe in accordance with Article 15 of the Charter SWITZERLAND Periodical report relating to the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages Fourth report by Switzerland 4 December 2009 SUMMARY OF THE REPORT Switzerland ratified the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages (Charter) in 1997. The Charter came into force on 1 April 1998. Article 15 of the Charter requires states to present a report to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe on the policy and measures adopted by them to implement its provisions. Switzerland‘s first report was submitted to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe in September 1999. Since then, Switzerland has submitted reports at three-yearly intervals (December 2002 and May 2006) on developments in the implementation of the Charter, with explanations relating to changes in the language situation in the country, new legal instruments and implementation of the recommendations of the Committee of Ministers and the Council of Europe committee of experts. This document is the fourth periodical report by Switzerland. The report is divided into a preliminary section and three main parts. The preliminary section presents the historical, economic, legal, political and demographic context as it affects the language situation in Switzerland. The main changes since the third report include the enactment of the federal law on national languages and understanding between linguistic communities (Languages Law) (FF 2007 6557) and the new model for teaching the national languages at school (—HarmoS“ intercantonal agreement).

Scheidegger, Wien Zusammenfassung Die vorliegende Arbeit betrifft die Tektonik des Gebirgszuges an der Grenze zwischen Montafon/Vorarlberg und Pra¨ttigau/Graubu¨nden; die Sulzfluh ist der markanteste Gipfel an demselben. Da sich bei tektonischen Studien die Analyse der „Orientationsstrukturen“ der Klu¨fte als aussagekra¨ftig erwiesen hat, wurden Bestimmungen der Richtungen der Kluftscharen an Aufschlu¨ssen entlang des obgenannten Gebirgszuges vorgenommen und mit der Tektonik der gesamten Umgebung in Zusammenhang gebracht: Es wird gezeigt, dass die prominenten Streichrichtungen der (steilen) Klu¨fte EW und NS sind; was bedeutet, dass die gro¨ßte Druckspannungsrichtung (P) bei etwa NW-SE liegt und die kleinste (T) bei etwa NE-SW. Dies entspricht genau den u¨blichen „europa¨ischen“ Verha¨ltnissen. Abstract The paper concerns the tectonics of the mountain range between Vorarlberg (Austria) and Grisons (Switzerland): The Sulzfluh is the most prominent peak on it.
