Definitely not. It's an extemely pretty place, hopefully well protected by the Swiss Air Force.

Definatley not. Even the mere suggestion could cause a very damaging fallout for some SnowHeads.

DGO. How many chalets in Wengen have those neat little nuclear air-raid bunkers?
I'm not saying that this is essential tourist information, but it might influence my choice of accommodation for a future visit.

What kinds of 'survival material' does one tend to find in Wengen's nuke cellars?

Swiss chocolate ? 
I have no idea really, thank goodness that such things are increasingly unlikely to ever be used.

DGO, I don't wish to be alarmist but don't take anything for granted.
On your next visit it may be advisable to check the inventory of the bunker: bottled water, tinned and dried food, chocolate (as you rightly advise), any drugs which may assist with nuclear fall-out, cheese fondue set, etc. etc.

No, because that would take out a few resorts in the vicinity that I will be in in a few weeks time and that would be my skiing down the crapper.!!!

Sorry, should the question be "Should Wengen be naked?". There was a very pretty barmaid there last time I passed through...

Depends whether the Swiss behave themselves. If they do what Europe tells them to do, it probably will not be necessary.

I'm not qualified to answer that, but maybe DGO could put that question to the director of tourism on his next visit?
Interestingly, the only reference to Swiss naturism I can find is for the Hotel Blumental, Murren, across the valley. Click here.
Can anyone 'shine any light' on this?

Thanks, DGO. On balance, I think we should blow into alpenhorns together, on the foothills of the Eiger - that should be more than enough to repel any airstrikes.

My view is that's a copyright image reproduced by Swissinfo under the terms of the copyright from the Swiss Air Force which you've broken.

Thanks very much for pointing that out, ise.
Here's the story from which the photo was obtained. It's certainly credited 'Swiss Air Force'. What are the terms of Swiss Air Force copyright that you refer to? The photo will be removed if its use is unauthorised, which isn't clear from the caption credit - a caption credit may be sufficient if it's an image provided for publicity/public domain usage.
I've credited it, as per the SwissInfo usage. Do you reckon this is OK?

Update: the Swiss Air Force terms are given here.
What do you reckon?

I reckon most of the photo's and images on the internet actually belong to someone and are under copyright. I reckon you should be more circumspect in continually copying them to threads here.

No, what you did was make a specific accusation that I'd "broken" the terms of copyright of the Swiss Air Force, which was slightly unfriendly. It seems that the image in question had been released for public domain use, free of charge, requiring a captioned credit (which has now been inserted).
I'm not in the habit of wishing to upset the Swiss Air Force and genuinely appreciate your services in bringing the matter to my attention.
What publishing policy do you adopt on your own skiing website vis-v-vis the use of copyright images?

Breach of copyright runs the risk of calling down an immediate air strike on the guilty party.

You'll all be relieved to know that the house is still standing, with yours truly under the stairs at the typing desk as always.
They tell me the stairs are good protection from falling debris.

Sorry, you've lost me there, DGO.
The answer to what is "definitely not"? That the Pope is a Jew?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or did you mean "definitely not" to "Should Wengen be naked"?
On that theme, if you see this man in a Santa hat anywhere within a 5-mile radius of the Kleine Scheidegg please arrest him

David Goldsmith, the rather worrying story behind this 'prank' was the devastating effect it evidently had on the family of two rather elderly, well to do ladies some 50 metres further up the slope. Apparently one of the unfortunate ladies had a stroke and tragically the other couldn't reach......
