Forum Aua Forta – Water Days Scuol

Büvetta Tarasp – Nairs, Engadin Scuol Zernez – darmar.world
The Aua Forta Forum is all about the power of water «aua forta» and the people who use, protect and experience it. From sparkling mineral water to the wild Inn – (mineral) water connects nature, culture and community.

Where (mineral) water joins stories

Diversity on Friday evening

The kick-off on Friday evening focused on water cooperation, change, and the significance of (mineral) water in the past and present. Franziska Bresciani (Thurgau-Lake Constance), Christian Müller (gutundgut, project manager at Büvetta Tarasp), Ernst Bromeis and Stefan Forster (graubünden Wasser) and historian Paul Grimm inspired the audience with keynote speeches, readings, and anecdotes. Singer Nina Mayer provided an atmospheric finale with songs that gave water an emotional voice, accompanied by a cosy aperitif in the Bogn Engiadina cultural centre.

An eventful Saturday in Scuol

On Saturday, mineral water sommelier Sabina Streiter guided participants through the world of Scuol's natural mineral waters. Using the “Miraculaua” cup, participants tasted the region's various mineral springs at different fountains, each with its own taste, character, and history.

At each station, experts such as Johannes Studer, geologist Matthias Merz, Xaver Frieser, and Peter Langenegger shared fascinating background information about the origins, use, and significance of the Engadin water world. To conclude: a warm fountain bath at Plaz and the story of the «Bügl public» – a project to revive fountain culture, initiated by Curdin Tones.

The Forum Aua Forta 2025 impressively demonstrated that water is not just a resource, but also a living culture. It connects people, tells stories and keeps flowing.
