  • The Town of Brig with Its Historic Old Quarter and the Stockalper Palace Lies in the Sunny Upper Valais at the Foot of the Simplon Pass
    Brig The town of Brig with its historic old quarter and the Stockalper Palace lies in the sunny Upper Valais at the foot of the Simplon Pass. Situated at an important junction, Brig is an ideal starting point for excursions. It is close to hiking and ski regions on the Lötschberg and Simplon, and in the Aletsch. It also has its own thermal baths, making it an attractive holiday resort. Brig Belalp Tourismus Bahnhofplatz 1 3900 Brig T +41 (0)27 921 60 30 F +41 (0)27 921 60 31 [email protected] http://www.brig-belalp.ch 200 m 1000 ft The lovely old town with its stately houses, cosy inns and hotels will tempt you to linger awhile. Lively Bahnhofstrasse is great for shopping, and the Stockalper Palace in Brig is one of the most important baroque palaces in Switzerland. The history of Brig is closely linked with the Simplon Pass, one of the most beautiful alpine passes which starts immediately beyond the city gates. Napoleon built a road through the Simplon Pass in the 19th century to move his armies, thus creating the first man-made road in the Alps. © MySwitzerland.com - Schweiz Tourismus - Page 1/6 Brig is a perfect starting point for an excursion to Zermatt or Saas-Fee, for example. It also lies along the route of the famous Glacier Express, which links Zermatt and St. Moritz. Going south, Brig is the General Info most northerly border station for the Simplon railway tunnel to Italy. To the east, you pass through Canton: Valais Goms, and the Furka Pass leads to central Switzerland; the Grimsel Pass into the Bernese Postcode/ZIP: 3900 - 3900 Oberland; and the Nufenen Pass into the Ticino.

  • Quaternary Glaciation History of Northern Switzerland
    Quaternary Science Journal GEOzOn SCiEnCE MEDiA Volume 60 / number 2–3 / 2011 / 282–305 / DOi 10.3285/eg.60.2-3.06 iSSn 0424-7116 E&G www.quaternary-science.net Quaternary glaciation history of northern switzerland Frank Preusser, Hans Rudolf Graf, Oskar keller, Edgar krayss, Christian Schlüchter Abstract: A revised glaciation history of the northern foreland of the Swiss Alps is presented by summarising field evidence and chronologi- cal data for different key sites and regions. The oldest Quaternary sediments of Switzerland are multiphase gravels intercalated by till and overbank deposits (‘Deckenschotter’). Important differences in the base level within the gravel deposits allows the distin- guishing of two complex units (‘Höhere Deckenschotter’, ‘Tiefere Deckenschotter’), separated by a period of substantial incision. Mammal remains place the older unit (‘Höhere Deckenschotter’) into zone MN 17 (2.6–1.8 Ma). Each of the complexes contains evidence for at least two, but probably up-to four, individual glaciations. In summary, up-to eight Early Pleistocene glaciations of the Swiss alpine foreland are proposed. The Early Pleistocene ‘Deckenschotter’ are separated from Middle Pleistocene deposition by a time of important erosion, likely related to tectonic movements and/or re-direction of the Alpine Rhine (Middle Pleistocene Reorganisation – MPR). The Middle-Late Pleistocene comprises four or five glaciations, named Möhlin, Habsburg, Hagenholz (uncertain, inadequately documented), Beringen, and Birrfeld after their key regions. The Möhlin Glaciation represents the most extensive glaciation of the Swiss alpine foreland while the Beringen Glaciation had a slightly lesser extent. The last glacial cycle (Birrfeld Glaciation) probably comprises three independent glacial advances dated to ca.

  • All Roads Lead to Ticino.Pdf
    All roads lead to Ticino! ticino.ch/wege-ins-tessin The itinerary becomes part of the holiday: discover the best one for an exciting trip! “It’s marvelously rich and beautiful and there is everything, from the alpine landscapes to the Mediterranean ones” with these words the Nobel prize winner Hermann Hesse described Ticino, his adoptive homeland. Glaciers and palm trees, lakes and mountains, ancient churches and modern architecture, silent valleys and vibrating cities generate an harmonic ambiance. As various as Ticino’s attitudes are, as various are the ways to reach the region: it doesn’t matter whether you come by plane, car, train, bus, bicycle or on foot. Myriad of roads lead you to the sunny South of Switzerland: Ticino. Your journey begins only a stone’s throw away from you home. By train. Travelling by train in Switzerland is comfortable and very reliable; thanks to the world’s best rail system. Numerous international trains arrive in Ticino every hour from the gateways Basel und Zurich, stopping in Bellinzona, Lugano, Mendrisio and Locarno. The TILO-train offers connections within the main cities in Ticino every 20 minutes. By car. Ticino is easily accessible by car. The shortest way from the North to the South of the Alps is through the Gotthard road tunnel or the alpine pass. A modern and efficient motorway runs through all Ticino (A2). The Gotthard tunnel (17 kilometers) allows travellers to avoid climbing the majestic alpine passes. It is for 125 years that this tunnel has been linking the North with the South. By plane.

The Swiss Alps and Character Framing in No Thoroughfare Samia Ounoughi (LERMA EA 853) When he wrote No Thoroughfare with Wilkie Collins, Dickens insisted that the climax of the novel took place in the Simplon Pass, in other words, in one of the most dangerous No Thoroughfares in Europe. By 1867, when the novel was published, Dickens had witnessed and experienced major changes in Britain. A new economic order was defining new rules in society and progress in rail transportation massively spread travelling. From then on, not only would people travel to settle somewhere else for good or at least for a long period of time, the growing number of businessmen rendered travelling Europe and the world part of their daily life. Considering these major evolutions, character framing in fiction writing was also to change.
