The podcast “Föhnrausch” is based on the orte edition of the same name, which features literary texts on alpine phenomena from the summer of 2025. It is a collaborative project between the Urner Institute Kulturen der Alpen, the music festival “Alpentöne,” and the literary magazine orte.
Thanks to the Uri-based Institute for Alpine Cultures in Altdorf, the canton of Uri has also established itself as a well-recognised centre of higher education. The institute – and, by extension, Uri as a centre for research – is now receiving additional support: the ‘AlpKultUR’ Friends’ Association was founded on 25 June 2026. Beat Jörg serves as its president.
