A story of alpine pastures, Etivaz and fresh journalism

As a lover of walks in the Grisons Alps, or a die-hard patriot, or a fan of children’s literature that you secretly read under a Jean d’Ormesson book cover, or nostalgic for the time when your dad/mum read you one last little story before going to sleep… perhaps you’ve recently been looking in Renouvaud for the story of Heidi and her grandfather “l’oncle de l’Alpe”?

Now, not only have you noticed that the book is available in your favorite library, but you’ve also spotted something odd… heidi.news…

Interested, you followed the link and discovered first of all that it wasn’t a link to the local press in the Maienfeld region, but rather that it was a professional news site, created and supplied with in-depth, interesting journalistic content, with a style that’s resolutely in tune with the times, with its flows and explorations – in short, quality information that’s fun and interesting to discover.

To top it all off, a banner at the top of the site reads “Free access is provided by the Bibliothèque Cantonale et Universitaire de Lausanne”. Yes, the BCU Lausanne offers you this breath of fresh air by paying the subscription fee so that you can enjoy it.

So there’s no need to go to the newsroom of your various sites to realize that the paper copy of your favorite daily newspaper is being consulted, and that three other people, like you, are waiting for the same thing.

During the closure, Heidi.news is only accessible to the university community via VPN. For all others, please wait until our sites are open again.

And for those with a real affection for alpine pastures, you can borrow “L’Etivaz, le génie fromager ”, as heidi.news also publishes a magazine several times a year on the themes of its explorations, this being the first issue. But here too, you’ll have to wait for the reopening.
