Alpen Bad (1954 m above sea level), Maienfelder
Maienfeld Alps
The Maienfeld Alps are the Alps of the political municipality of Maienfeld. The taxes for the use of the Alps by the cattle owners are set by the community. The pastures are all behind the westernmost ridge of the Rätikon and are drained via the Canibach into the Landquart in Prättigau. Alp buildings are on the Alps Bad (1954 m above sea level), Egg (1664 m above sea level), Sturfis (1577 m above sea level) and Ijes (1934 m above sea level). Alp Sturfis, the largest milk-processing Swiss alp, was originally a permanent Walser settlement, but was converted into an alp in 1633 and the residents moved into the valley. The ruins of the chapel still bear witness to the former permanent settlement.
Every year in spring, the cattle of the cattle owners of the city of Maienfeld, who pay the usage taxes, are driven up to the Alps in the alpine lift and brought back down to the valley in autumn on the alpine descent. In order to utilize the infrastructure and increase profitability, livestock from cattle farmers from the Central Plateau are also taken into 'pension' for a fee.
Neighboring Alps are the Fläscher Alp Sarina of the municipality of Fläsch and the Jenins Alps of the municipality of Jenins. The Furggaalp in Arosa, located between the Isel and Grünsee reservoirs on the way to Medergen, is also part of the Maienfeld Alps. Over the centuries, this fact led to the naming of Maienfelder Furgga, the transition there from Arosa to Davos.
