The Kleine Scheidegg (2061 m.) is a high mountain pass below and between the Eiger and Lauberhorn peaks in the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland. It connects Grindelwald with Lauterbrunnen. The name means "minor watershed", even though it is actually higher than the neighbouring Grosse Scheidegg. Possibly this is because Kleine Scheidegg is a watershed between the two arms of the Lütschinen river, while Grosse Scheidegg divides the Lütschinen valleys from the Reichenbach.
On the Kleine Scheidegg are hotels, as well as the station of the two rack railways, the Wengernalpbahn (since 1893) and the Jungfraubahn (since 1896). The Wengernalpbahn has two branches; one begins at Grindelwald; the other commences at Lauterbrunnen and climbs to the pass via Wengen. The Jungfraubahn travels within the Eiger and Mönch and up to a terminal at the Jungfraujoch.
In winter, the Kleine Scheidegg is the centre of the ski area around Grindelwald and Wengen. In summer it is a popular hiking destination, and is one of the passes crossed by the Alpine Pass Route.

Jean Rédélé, graduate of HEC and more young dealer Renault of France at Dieppe, began initially to play rally Dieppe-Rouen with a Renault 4CV, stating that it had a potential non-negligible. This first race ended with a first victory that encouraged him to continue. In 1952, he participated in the thousand miles, always on 4CV, winning its category associated with Louis Pons2.After a tedious rally of Monte-Carlo and a first missed victory, Rédélé undertook to wrangle a competition in the Alps. In 1954, he won, in others, a cut at the Critérium des Alpes and the Liège-Rome-liege3. Therefore, he travels on tracks sinuous and interwoven in the Alps, his best races. With reference to these tests, its cars would be badged "Alpine" 4.After other victories, Jean Rédélé created anonymous society of automobiles Alpine in 1955 in reference to its success on Alpine roads. Coach 106 was born. The number is a reference to the mechanics of the 4CV of the 1060 series. In 1962, the Alpine A110 is presented in the salon de Paris a frail cut plastic two-seater. Now, his technical choice is lightness validated by the victory of the prototype M64 to the 24 hours of le Mans 1964 with a small 1 150 cc engine.In 1965, Alpine has partnered with Renault and since 1966, cars are distributed by the network of the Régie, however the increased requirements of clients and security constraints weigh more on the company that remain artisanal.In 1971, Alpine won its first European champion of the rally constructors.And in 1973, Alpine is crowned first champion of the World Rally with 155 points ahead of Fiat (89 points) and Ford (76 points).

The flowers of the bog star (Parnassia palustris) are remarkable: the do not offer nectar (in spite of having organs that look as if they might), but rather of warmth. The white parabola shaped petals direct the sunlight to the center of the flower, where insects may heat up and pollinate.
