Photo: Mike Roberts The Matterhorn is undeniably the most magnificent and well-known peak in the Alps. Its bold pyramidal shape evokes emotions of wonderment and even fear in those who view it for the first time, as its four distinct faces stand omnipotent and menacing over the green meadows below. Separated by sharp ridges, the four faces are orientated to the four points of the compass, the northern aspects within Switzerland while the southern side lies in Italy. We ascend via the Hörnli Ridge that separates the rich heritage adds to the superb facilities, including North and East Faces via a long and technical route catered huts and lift systems offering services not requiring the utmost attention from climbers.

  • Goats As Sentinel Hosts for the Detection of Tick-Borne Encephalitis
    Rieille et al. BMC Veterinary Research (2017) 13:217 DOI 10.1186/s12917-017-1136-y RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Goats as sentinel hosts for the detection of tick-borne encephalitis risk areas in the Canton of Valais, Switzerland Nadia Rieille1,4, Christine Klaus2* , Donata Hoffmann3, Olivier Péter1 and Maarten J. Voordouw4 Abstract Background: Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is an important tick-borne disease in Europe. Detection of the TBE virus (TBEV) in local populations of Ixodes ricinus ticks is the most reliable proof that a given area is at risk for TBE, but this approach is time- consuming and expensive. A cheaper and simpler approach is to use immunology-based methods to screen vertebrate hosts for TBEV-specific antibodies and subsequently test the tick populations at locations with seropositive animals. Results: The purpose of the present study was to use goats as sentinel animals to identify new risk areas for TBE in the canton of Valais in Switzerland. A total of 4114 individual goat sera were screened for TBEV-specific antibodies using immunological methods. According to our ELISA assay, 175 goat sera reacted strongly with TBEV antigen, resulting in a seroprevalence rate of 4.3%. The serum neutralization test confirmed that 70 of the 173 ELISA-positive sera had neutralizing antibodies against TBEV. Most of the 26 seropositive goat flocks were detected in the known risk areas in the canton of Valais, with some spread into the connecting valley of Saas and to the east of the town of Brig. One seropositive site was 60 km to the west of the known TBEV-endemic area.

  • The Residence Time of the Water in Lago Maggiore (N. Italy): First Results from an Eulerian-Lagrangian Approach
    J. Limnol., 69(1): 15-28, 2010 DOI: 10.3274/JL10-69-1-02 The residence time of the water in Lago Maggiore (N. Italy): first results from an Eulerian-Lagrangian approach Leonardo CASTELLANO*, Walter AMBROSETTI1), Luigi BARBANTI1) and Angelo ROLLA1) Matec Modelli Matematici, Via Rondoni 11, 20146 Milano, Italy 1)CNR Institute for Ecosystem Study, Largo V. Tonolli 50, 28922 Verbania-Pallanza, Italy *e-mail corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT The paper describes a numerical study for estimating the spatial distribution of the hydraulic residence time in Lago Maggiore. A 3D eulerian time-dependent CFD code has been applied under real conditions, taking into account the effects of the monthly mean values of the mass flow rates and temperatures of all the tributaries, mass flow rate of the Ticino effluent and meteorological, hydrogeological and limnological parameters available from the rich data-base of CNR-ISE (Pallanza). The velocity distributions from these simulations were used to compute the paths of a number of massless markers with different initial positions and so evaluate their residence times within the lake. The results presented here follow a two-year simulation and show encouraging agreement with the mechanisms of mixing and of deep water oxygenation revealed by recent limnological studies carried out at CNR-ISE. Further studies are in progress to improve the results and extend the research over a time period of at least four years. Key words: residence time, hydro-meteorological parameters, eulerian mathematical model,

Restaurants in Lausanne IV. Transports in Lausanne V. Useful Information VII. Your venue: The Olympic Museum VIII. Tourism Activities I. Switzerland and the Lausanne region By its central geographical location, Switzerland is an ideal international destination for business, incentive and leisure travel. It is a country with many different facets. It unites an impressive variety of landscapes in a small geographical area and benefits from an exceptional natural heritage. As an important centre for communication and transport between the countries of Northern and Southern Europe, it has a common frontier with Germany, France, Italy, and the Principality of Liechtenstein. The Alpine Arc, just a few kilometers away from Lausanne, features some of the finest mountain peaks like the Matterhorn, Mont Blanc or the Jungfrau, and spectacular passes: Grimsel, St Gotthard, Simplon and Great St Bernard. These natural assets are further enhanced by security and dependability, Swiss values par excellence . The second largest city on the shore of Lake Geneva, Lausanne combines the dynamics of a business town with its ideal location as a holiday resort. Sport and culture are a golden rule in this Olympic capital. Nature, historic town, contemporary architecture, and exceptional surroundings: the Olympic capital is a model of the art of living and of cultural events. No need to wear out your shoes to visit the town and its region. A dense public transport network gives you the freedom to go from the lakeside to the trendy neighborhoods within minutes.
