Rosswald
Hint
Intro
Even in the 21st century, millions of people around the world still do not have access to fresh and uncontaminated drinking water. The precious life-giving substance – water – is still overabundant and fresh here in the heart of the Swiss Alps. The water melts from our glaciers and after a long journey through layers of granite emerges pure and fresh from our faucets. In the hiking-paradise Rosswald is where the water is traveling through the said layers right now.
Winter
Snow cannons are the modern leprechauns that virtually guarantee the white powdery magnificence for your winter pleasure. The Rosswald is a unique sun terrace high above the Rhone valley - sunny during the day and cold enough to give the snow a chance to fall at night – even from a snow cannon. The price is right too. Rent your chalet early enough since they offer spectacular views on the valley below and the peaks above. The sun sets and the moon rises – you can look forward to an unforgettable spectacle of light and shadow, all in a magic world of white.
Summer
Hike from the Rosswald up to the artificial lake, which is used to produce artificial snow for the ski slopes in winter. Tired hikers can refresh their feet here or enjoy the magnificent panoramic view. Afterwards, the hike lasting around six hours continues along the Ganter Valley to the Bortel lodge. From here you will eventually reach Wasenalp in Europe's highest larch forest.
