And it does so in a brilliant way: the railway line blends in perfectly with the grandiose mountain landscape. Here, the enjoyment of nature and cultural experience become one, here it becomes the most beautiful experience in the Alps! The line between Thusis and Tirano has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2008. Over 122 kilometres through 55 tunnels and over 196 bridges: the route of the Bernina Express is an engineering masterpiece. Montebello curve 8 You’ll love this!

  • UNESCO World Heritage Properties in Switzerland February 2021
    UNESCO World Heritage properties in Switzerland February 2021 www.whes.ch Welcome Dear journalists, Thank you for taking an interest in Switzerland’s World Heritage proper- ties. Indeed, these natural and cultural assets have plenty to offer: en- chanting cityscapes, unique landscapes, historic legacies and hidden treasures. Much of this heritage was left to us by our ancestors, but nature has also played its part in making the World Heritage properties an endless source of amazement. There are three natural and nine cultur- al assets in total – and as unique as each site is, they all have one thing in common: the universal value that we share with the global community. “World Heritage Experience Switzerland” (WHES) is the umbrella organisation for the tourist network of UNESCO World Heritage properties in Switzerland. We see ourselves as a driving force for a more profound and responsible form of tourism based on respect and appreciation. In this respect we aim to create added value: for visitors in the form of sustainable experiences and for the World Heritage properties in terms of their preservation and appreciation by future generations. The enclosed documentation will offer you the broadest possible insight into the diversity and unique- ness of UNESCO World Heritage. If you have any questions or suggestions, you can contact us at any time. Best regards Kaspar Schürch Managing Director WHES [email protected] Tel. +41 (0)31 544 31 17 More information: www.whes.ch Page 2 Table of contents World Heritage in Switzerland 4 Overview

  • 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).

Appendice - 1 - Care concittadine e cari concittadini Ci pregiamo trasmettervi il messaggio relativo alla concessione A e B tra il Comune di Poschiavo e Repo- wer AG in merito alla realizzazione del progetto «Lago Bianco». 1. Premessa e politica energetica cantonale La realizzazione del progetto «Lago Bianco» rappresenta per la Valle, e in modo particolare per il Comune di Poschiavo, una straordinaria occasione di sviluppo, basata sull’utilizzo di un’importante risorsa naturale come l’acqua. Anche dal punto di vista del Cantone, essendo Repower l’unica società grigionese attiva su tutta la filiera del mercato energetico, l’iniziativa assume una valenza strategica. In questo senso è dunque pienamente soddisfacente quanto il Governo scrive nel rapporto esplicativo sulla revisione parziale della Legge sui dirit- ti d’acqua del Cantone dei Grigioni (LGDA) sotto “Politica Futura”; in essa, si cita testualmente, “si mira a fare in modo che siano le società insediate nel Cantone a generare la cifra d’affari per l’approvvigionamento e in particolare per il commercio.
