The pass has been a myth for Swiss population and still is today. «Gottardo» is the waterhead of many big European rivers and the continental water divide between north and south. During World War II, the «Gotthard» was the heart of the so called «Réduit», the last Swiss defence line of Switzerland. These facts give an important historical role and geographical situation of the «Gottardo»-line. The delimitation of the pilot area in the «Gottardo-study» is given by geographical reasons. The Gottardo train-line forms a clear north-south-corridor (see map p. 2) and is clearly defined. The five cantons Zurich, Zug, Schwyz, Uri and Ticino include 25% of Swiss population and 16.5% of the Swiss land area. The «Gottardo»-line leads from Zurich for a short distance along the lake of Zurich, then going by tunnel to the densly-wooded Sihltal and by another tunnel to the level land of the densly populated Canton Zug. From there, the line continues along the lake of Zug to the inner part of the Canton of Schwyz with its capital Schwyz. Through the famous Axenstrasse along the lake of Lucerne, the corridor-line gets into the very rural Canton of Uri with the small cities of Flüelen, the capital Altdorf and Erstfeld, more and more getting into the higher mountains. Today the train goes up from Erstfeld to Göschenen (from about 470 meters to about 1120 meters over sea level). From end of 2016 on, the direct trains will enter the 57 km long Gotthard Base Tunnel in Erstfeld on 470 meters and only get out in Bodio (TI) on 321 meters over sea level. The highest point of the tunnel will be on 550 meters over sea level. Bodio is located more than half way down from Airolo (way out of today’s Gottardo tunnel coming from Göschenen) to Bellinzona and nearly at the end of the Valle Leventina. By this change, the small municipalities on the old train-line from Erstfeld to Bodio will experience an enormous change. From Bodio, the train very soon gets to the capital of the Canton Ticino, Bellinzona. From there, a second new base tunnel will enter from the end of 2019 the Monte Ceneri. Monte Ceneri divides geographically the Canton of Ticino in a northern and a southern part, called Sopraceneri and Sottoceneri. The Ceneri Base Tunnel will be 15.4 km long and will evite as the Gotthard Base Tunnel hight differences. Through today’s Ceneri tunnel the train arrives in the Sottoceneri, passing the economic heart of Ticino, the city and agglomeration of Lugano, and the dam of Melide to get to the urban region of Mendrisio and Chiasso (the region called Mendrisiotto) and the Italian city of Como. From there the «Gottardo»-line leads through flat land via Lainate directly to Milano. RURBANCE Project Territorial System Factsheet Characterization of the Territorial System in terms of: Vulnerability City of Zurich Dependence on financial center (banks, insurances). Concerning to a study of January 2013 insurances will gain in Zurich a stronger position within the financial sector → promotion of other branches with high value added Keeping housing prices on a reasonable level (danger of housing-bubble in Zurich region) Keeping the outstanding quality of life (vulnerable balance) Dependance on highly qualified specialists (f.e. lack of engineers) General situation within the financial crisis - Swiss Franc is to strong, especially against Euro, which has a bad effect on Swiss economy in general - highly specialised suppliers to European companies in Zurich region We will ask our partners in the Gottardo-study after starting our work to complete the characterization of the Territorial System on vulnerability for their Cantons and regions. Characterization of the Territorial System in terms of: Resilience City of Zurich Localisation within the heart of Europe: Milano, Munich and Paris within 4 hours by train (Milano soon 3 hours), all big European cities within 1 to 2 hour-flight Keeping outstanding quality of life Keeping high quality of transportation system Building the metropolitan area Excellent education, science, health care and security Open to internationality and migration (31% of City population are not Swiss) Political stability (Switzerland in general) 2000-Watt-society We will ask our partners in the Gottardo-study after starting our work to complete the characterization of the Territorial System on resilience for their Cantons and regions. RURBANCE Project Territorial System Factsheet Reasons for the selection of the Pilot Area and brief description The «Gottardo-Line» from Zurich to Milano is interesting because of different points of view. First to mention is its historical, geographical, strategical and political role as a heart of Switzerland (see above chapter Criteria of delimitation of the Territorial System). Then the area is home of very diverging urban and rural Swiss regions. There are the core cities Zurich and Milano, medium sized Swiss Cities as Zug, Schwyz, Bellinzona, Lugano, Chiasso (also the Italian city of Como), rural regions as Sihltal, the densly populated Canton Zug, the inner, more rural part of the Canton of Schwyz, the rural Canton Uri, upper rural part of the Canton Ticino (Leventina) as well as suburban and urban regions (Bellinzona, Lugano, Mendrisiotto, level land from Como to Milano). The 57 km long Gottard Base-Tunnel will be opened in end of 2016. The travel by train will be shortened from about four to less than three hours one way. The cities get by that into «one-day- business-distance». On the other side, lots of municipalities between Erstfeld (UR) and Bodio (TI) will have new advantages and disadvantages, new chances and problems, new challenges.

  • Transalpine Pass Routes in the Swiss Central Alps and the Strategic Use of Topographic Resources
    Preistoria Alpina, 42 (2007): 109-118 ISSN 09-0157 © Museo Tridentino di Scienze Naturali, Trento 2007 Transalpine pass routes in the Swiss Central Alps and the strategic use of topographic resources Philippe DELLA CASA Department of Pre-/Protohistory, University of Zurich, Karl-Schmid-Str. ���������������������������4, 8006 Zurich, Switzerland E-mail: [email protected] SUMMARY - Transalpine pass routes in the Swiss Central Alps and the strategic use of topographic resources - Using examples from the San Bernardino and the St. Gotthard passes in the Swiss Central Alps, this paper discusses how the existence of transalpine high altitude pass routes can be inferred, even though there is a lack physical evidence, from specific Bronze and Iron Age settlement patterns in access valleys. Particular attention is given to the effect of topography within the territorial and economic organizational area on transalpine tracks and traffic routes. A set of recurring patterns, such as strategic position, natural and/or artificial protection, presence of “foreign” materials, can help identifying (settlement) sites with particular functions as regards traffic and trade within the systems of territorial organization. Moreover, the paper also addresses socio-dynamic issues of the problem of transalpine pass routes. RIASSUNTO - Passi transalpini nelle Alpi Centrali Svizzere e uso strategico di risorse topografiche -Usando esempi dal Passo di San Bernardino e dal Passo del San Gottardo nelle Alpi Centrali Svizzere, il presente contributo discute come l’esistenza di vie di transito transalpine d’alta quota possa essere dedotta, anche mancando evidenze fisiche, da specifici modelli insediativi dell’età del Bronzo e del Ferro presenti nelle valli di accesso.

  • 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).
