Article Davos
Thanks to its geographical location as a transit land with Strela-, Scaletta- and Flüelapass, Davos was already settled in the Bronze age (approx. 1500-1000 BC). Around the year 1100 the Alps here were joined with the neighbouring Romans from Albulatal. The owner of these Alps however, was the Prämonstratenser Kloster (monastery) in Churwalden above Chur. The name Monstein, from the Latin “monasterium” (Monastery) is also common here. Around the year 1250 all of these possessions belonged to the Frieherrn von Vaz, who were appointed by the Austrian emperor as "Feudalherrn" to settle in weakly settled subject areas of the people.

Article Der Simplon
The most important Alpine pass in the Oberwallis. Stockalperweg and A9: with 2008 metres above sea level, one of the deepest lying alpine passes of the main alpine comb. Two men play an important role in this pass: Kaspar Jodok von Stockalper and Napoleon. One of them needed to make the alpine crossing to earn money, the other, for military reasons. One of them became rich because of der Simplon, the other never got to see it. However, both recognised the enormous strategic meaning of this pass and developed it accordingly with the needs of the time.
