Goms - eine Bergregion behauptet sich

Jagged mountains, massive glaciers, idyllic Alps, and pristine landscapes characterize the diverse living and economic space of Goms. The source area of the Rotten River and the picturesque natural and cultural landscapes of the high valley provide the foundation for the traditionally nature-oriented mountain agriculture, a distinct culture with its legends, as well as tourism. Tranquil villages, snow-sure ski and cross-country skiing areas, and various summer sports opportunities form the basis for this sunny holiday paradise. The challenges of modern development are viewed more critically today, as the Alps are an ecologically, economically, and culturally significant and sensitive habitat. The stunning images in this book showcase Goms from both well-known and unusual perspectives. The text, accompanied by thematic maps and organized into clear chapters, presents interesting facts and illustrates the development of this successful mountain region over the past decades.
