The lake's location is unique; it already had 16 degrees Celsius today. A breathtaking landscape. The flora and fauna are also unique and diverse. Pure enjoyment!

Splügen

An incredibly beautiful place, which we easily reached on foot from Splügen. The hut is not staffed, but can be booked for one night. Drinking water is fetched from the spring by boat... row across the upper Surettasee, enjoy the panorama, and refill your drinking water supplies at the spring... a truly adventurous experience.

History of the goat in Valsertal The importance of goats in Valsertal «Anyone who is unable to keep a cow in Vals happily 'chases' a number of goats around and is therefore called 'es Geisspeirli'. – This dry sentence from Jörger’s ‘Bei den Valser des Valsertals’ in no way does justice to the importance of the Geiss for the people of Vals. Jörger then catches up on this further down, where he explains: ‘In addition to the cattle, every farmer keeps a number of goats, a dozen or more. They appear in all shapes and colors, with or without horns, the hornless ones are called 'Mutscha'. The Vals goat is the companion of the cow on the alp. For the summer milk during the hay harvest, goats from the Lugnez used to be leased and paid with butter or sheep's wool. In his work Das Alpwesen Graubündens (1947), Richard Weiss also emphasizes the importance of keeping goats, especially for the socially disadvantaged class. 'Today, as in the past, the goat is important and indispensable, especially for the poor among the population as a dairy animal, the 'cow of the poor'.
