Résumé anglais Summary. — This biogeographical study of Calfeisental, a tiny valley in the eastern part of the Swiss Alps, is an attempt to apply the concept of the geographical ecosystem in a high-mountain area. The author establishes the altitudinal zones and divides the valley into three principal écorégions (regions based on the geographical ecosystem) and 17 sub-regions. He examines the bio-physical character of each ecoregion, the value of each in the present pastoral economy, and the causes of the differences between regions. Finally, he suggests some implications of this kind of study for planning and for the future development of Calfeisental.
