  • The Alpina Gstaad Announces New Winter Programs for Active Couples and Families in the Swiss Alps
    The Alpina Gstaad Announces New Winter Programs for Active Couples and Families in the Swiss Alps GSTAAD, Switzerland, October 24, 2017 – The Alpina Gstaad, the award-winning hotel in the Swiss Alpine village of Gstaad, has announced two new packages for the 2017-2018 winter season to appeal to couples looking for romance and families who want to bond. The hotel’s new Alpine Couples package specializes in romance with a private helicopter that will whisk the couple up to charming Refuge L'Espace at the top of Glacier 3000. This rustic and cozy hideaway sits next to a mammoth peak in the Diablerets massif called the Quille du Diable (the Devil's Bowling Pin). Skiers-in-the- know are lured by the delicious regional specialties from the Bernese Oberland and the fabulous views into the Val Derborence in the Valais. (An optional tour around the Matterhorn can also be added.) Later, the couple can take a romantic horse-drawn carriage ride around the tranquil village of Lauenen and then have a massage for two in the hotel's Six Senses Spa. A five-course tasting menu at the Michelin-starred Restaurant Sommet and exclusive use of the private cinema for an evening with complimentary popcorn, snacks and drinks will inspire romance. The package starts from Swiss francs (CHF) 5,200 (about $5,300) for two in a Junior Suite for two nights and also includes breakfast, a daily credit of CHF100 per person, per day for food and beverage consumption in the hotel's three restaurants, free access to pools, saunas, steam-baths and relaxation areas at the Spa, parking, service charge, all taxes and VAT.

T: +44 (0) 20 7955 7084. F: +44 (0) 20 7955 7730 LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS AND POLITICAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC HISTORY WORKING PAPERS NO. 250 - SEPTEMBER 2016 Multiple Core Regions: Regional Inequality in Switzerland, 1860 to 2008 Christian Stohr London School of Economics Abstract This paper estimates regional GDP for three different geographical levels in Switzerland. My analysis of regional inequality rests on a heuristic model featuring an initial growth impulse in one or several core regions and subsequent diffusion. As a consequence of the existence of multiple core regions Swiss regional inequality has been comparatively low at higher geographical levels. Spatial diffusion of economic growth has occurred across different parts of the country and within different labor market regions at the same time. This resulted in a bell- shape evolution of regional inequality at the micro regional level and convergence at higher geographical levels. In early and in late stages of the development process, productivity differentials were the main drivers of inequality, whereas economic structure was determinant between 1888 and 1941. Keywords: Regional data, inequality, industrial structure, productivity, comparative advantage, switzerland JEL Codes: R10, R11, N93, N94, O14, O18 Acknowledgements: I thank Heiner Ritzmann-Blickensdorfer and Thomas David for sharing their data on value added by industry with me. I’m grateful to Joan Rosés, Max Schulze, and Ulrich Woitekfor several enlightening discussions.

(Eds) (2010). Mapping Geoheritage, Lausanne, Institut de géographie, Géovisions n°35, pp. 15-30. Geoheritage popularisation and cartographic visualisation - 17 - 1. Introduction This paper presents the underlying concepts developed by the Institute of Geography of the University of Lausanne (Switzerland) for a popularisation project of the geohe- ritage in the Tsanfleuron-Sanetsch area (Valais, Switzerland). Due to its wide scientific interest, the local geoheritage is of great value (Reynard, 2008). The article details the complementary links existing between the different parts of a geotourist project – databases, educational panels, educational material and geotourist map – developed for popularising the geoheritage value of the area. Each element of the project is briefly presented. Special focus is set on mapping questions: how cartographic design and information structure can be set in order to facilitate map’s use and comprehen- sion. In this way, the Tsanfleuron-Sanetsch map is presented as an applied example of the guiding principles proposed by Coratza and Regolini-Bissig (2009). 2. Geoheritage in the Tsanfleuron-Sanetsch area 2.1 Access and location The area of Tsanfleuron is part of Les Diablerets mountain massif (Fig. 1). There are two main entrance points linked by hiking trails.

Après les aménagements réalisés au Sex Rouge, la nouvelle piste Red Run entre le Sex Rouge et la Tête aux Chamois, ainsi que la réalisation projetée de la liaison avec le Col du Pillon via Pierres Pointes, une partie de la station du Pillon doit être renouvelée de par la vétusté de ses installations. Le bâtiment en question, qui abrite notamment les locaux techniques, les ateliers et les vestiaires, a plus de 50 ans et ne répond plus aux exigences en matière de praticabilité par rapport aux dimensions actuelles des machines, ni en termes d’isolation, de sécurité et de confort minimum pour les employés. De plus, il ne s’intègre pas au site et aux bâtiments récents. Le futur bâtiment reprendra l’architecture de la station existante et s’installera dans son prolongement. Outre les locaux destinés aux employés, il comprendra toutes les fonctionnalités nécessaires pour l’entretien technique des installations, ainsi que les bureaux de Glacier 3000. Mesures environnementales Le nouveau bâtiment sera équipé de panneaux solaires et sera aux normes supérieures en termes d’isolation et d’efficience énergétique. La démolition du bâtiment existant permettra un réaménagement cohérent des espaces arrière du Col du Pillon et la création de relations plus spontanées avec les milieux naturels environnants, notamment les falaises de gypse et les dolines.
