This column is being written on a
be -flowered balcony in a village in
southern Switzerland. The sun is hot
and bright; haze shrouds the not -so -
distant peaks, turning them into
hovering, giant, friendly ghosts.
That's the difference I find in the
Swiss Alps and our own Canadian
Rockies. For sheer, rugged,
wilderness beauty, our western
mountains cannot be surpassed, but
their awesome grandiosity can
sometimes be over -powering. By
comparison the Alps, though grand,
seem more benign, more placid and
friendly. Their peaks, whether bath-
ed in sunshine or glowing pink in the
setting sun, or awash in white
moonlight, emote peace and content-
ment. Probably that's because many
of the peaks are not as high as the
Rockies, but mostly, I think, its
because of the many pastoral valleys
that flow through the ranges. Never
have I seen so much greenness, so
many picturesque buildings, such an
array of brilliant flowers, hanging
from every chalet and growing in
every garden; in short, never have I
seen such an incredible mixture of
natural and man-made beauty.
There are no huge cities in
but it'sa good one
Switzerland such as we have in North
America, and most of the population
(j..st over 6 million) lives in country
villages that dot the valleys
everywhere, strung together like
Farmers still drive their cattle to the

bright beads on narrow strings of
tangled roads that loop and weave
along the hillsides.
Our village is Sanaan (about the
size of Hensall), where our daughter
JoAnne has been working for over two
months, and it was her being here
that prompted this visit. We stroll
through the small, twisting streets,
overshadowed by ancient buildings
with their carved balconies and im-
mense, overhanging flower boxes,
and feel little has changed here in the
last two or three hundred years.

crafts in small shops. Old world prin-
ting, on some of the houses, tell the
original owners' names with a prayer
for God's blessing on future genera-
tions. The house next to us is dated
1776, while one up the street goes back
to 1695.
The square stucco church, with its
sturdy steeple, was built in 1606, and
the original, faded fresco paintings
are still visible on the walls. It's still
the focal point of the village with its
bells chiming out the hours to keep the
villagers on time. Most stores open
early in the morning, although a few
doors do not open until ten, but all
close sharply at 12 noon for an hour
and a half. The village shuts down
tightly in the early evening, except for
the pub, which also, closes not a se-
cond later than 11 p.m. It's the ideal
place for a quiet, restful holiday.
Sanaan is a German speaking
village, but one just a little way up the
mountain is French. Of course, most
Swiss are fluent in both languages and
some are flawless in English, as well.
Practically everyone admits to speak-
ing English "a little bit."
There are few tourists in this small
place, and for the most part, they are
either endured or ignored by the
natives. However, such is not the case
in Gstaad, a bustling town three
kilometers away. Tourists flock to
Gstaad and are catered to with every
kind of service and shopping.
Because this is such a particularly
beautiful valley, it attracts many of
the rich and famous, such as Julie An-
drews, David Bowie and Elizabeth
Taylor who own chalets. Others, like
President Carter, rent suites at the
Palace Hotel (which looks more like
a 'cas,jle Cyan a palace and whose
