    Nendaz au moyen âge. (Communication à l'assemblée de la S. H. V. R., tenue à Nendaz, le 24 mai ig3i.) I. Aperçu général. Il en est de l'histoire de Nendaz comme de celle de la plupart des vallées latérales du Valais. Nos origines se perdent dans une nuit profonde. Touchant notre préhistoire, tout ce que l'on peut savoir, c'est qu'on a trouvé dans la région d'Aproz un tombeau à compar­ timents, de l'âge du bronze. Aucun autre monument n'éclaire notre passé antérieurement à l'ère chrétienne. A l'époque romaine, on peut admettre que les Sédu- niens et les Véragres se coudoyaient au pied de nos coteaux, dans la région de Baar et d'Aproz, et que ce sont là nos deux localités qui furent tout naturelle­ ment, de par leur situation même, habitées en premier lieu. La précieuse carte de Gabriel Walser, de 1768, indique en effet qu'il y avait là autrefois des Véragres. (Hic olim Veragri). Nendaz était essentiellement une terre de forêts qui fut, peu à peu et péniblement rendue à la culture, de vastes forêts à peu près vierges encore au VIe siècle, dans lesquelles gîtaient cerfs, chevreuils, ours, san­ gliers, tout le gibier à plume et à poil de l'époque. La colonisation dut se faire avec peine. Encore au XVIe siècle, dans la carte des sept dizains, d'après la Cosmo­ graphie de Sébastien Müller, alors qu'on y relève un grand nombre de localités du Valais, toute la région de Nendaz n'y est représentée que par un groupe de sapins, sans plus.

If we are lucky, the road to Lac de Mauvoisin is open (often avalanches) and then there are much more routes in a beautiful quiet area. If not, we will move after 2-3 days to either Arolla or Zinal for more climbing. Let´s hope it will be a nice cold winter this time with wonderful glittering ice. Please bring snowshoes and/or ski in case of deep snow. In case of very bad conditions we will change the location short-dated, in order to make sure that we will have some good climbing days together. So please register with your complete address (phone number). Accomodation We will stay in the Hôtel du Grand Combin in Fionnay. It is possible to sleep in 2-bed rooms or in a bunk room. The bedrooms are only available if there are no other reservations, the bunk room we have for sure. This way we are allowed to cancel the hotel very short-dated and to change to other places. Prices are: CHF 65.- for bunk room, CHF 95.- for 2 bed room (breakfast + dinner). We are looking forward to meet you in Finnay, Sina + Charlotte How to get there Simplon Grand St. Bernard By train To Martigny, change train to Le Châble, from there by postbus to Fionnay.

  • Effects of Ski Lift Ticket Discounts on Local Tourism Demand
    Effects of ski lift ticket discounts on local tourism demand Martin Falk and Miriam Scaglione Martin Falk is Senior Abstract Research Fellow at the Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide a first evaluation of the effectiveness of the early bird Austrian Institute of discount on ski lift tickets by estimating the impact on hotel overnight stays of the Saas-Fee destination. Economic Research Design/methodology/approach – The difference-in-differences (DID) approach is used to compare (WIFO) Vienna, Austria. winter sport destinations with and without the price reduction before and after the introduction of the price Miriam Scaglione is discount. The sample is composed of the 54 largest Swiss winter sport destinations for the seasons 2013/ Professor at the Institute of 2014 and 2016/2017. Tourism, University of Findings – DID estimations show an increase in overnight stays of Swiss residents by 50 per cent as Applied Sciences and Arts compared to the control group. Quantile regression estimations for the conditional upper part of the Western Switzerland – overnight stays distribution reveal a lower average treatment effect of 38 per cent. However, DID – – Valais, Sierre, Switzerland. estimates for total overnight stays (domestic and foreign) are much smaller about 17 per cent indicating that the price reductions are not effective in attracting foreign visitors. Results are not sensitive when taking into account a large number of control variables (elevation, size and snow making capacity). Research limitations/implications – As tourists visiting winter sport destinations are interested in a mix of activities, lift ticket revenues or number of skier days should be used as an alternative outcome measure.
