6 interesting facts

What is the difference between this and tap water?

Our mineral water comes directly from the ground, with natural minerals – some springs even bubble up all by themselves. In contrast, tap water contains fewer minerals and is obtained from groundwater or surface sources.

Where does the taste and colour come from?

Mineral water in the Lower Engadine matures deep within the rock, absorbing minerals that characterise the taste and colour of the surrounding area. This creates springs with a unique character, taste and composition.

Does mineral water taste good?

Every mineral spring is unique and tastes different. Some people love it straight away, others need a moment to acquire a taste for it. You can sample the mineral springs at the mineral water fountain or directly at the source, or you can book a mineral water tasting session.

Is mineral water healthy?

Natural mineral water contains valuable minerals such as calcium and magnesium, which can aid regeneration. It supports electrolyte balance, but should only be consumed in small quantities. This is why the locals call the water «aua forta» (=strong water).
