Mineral character
Calcium is 208 mg/L, magnesium 37 mg/L, sodium 5.2 mg/L, sulphate 480 mg/L, chloride 4.9 mg/L, and bicarbonate 239 mg/L. Hardness is 672 mg/L as CaCO₃. The profile is dominated by calcium and sulphate, consistent with gypsum evaporite geology in the Valais. Sodium and chloride are both very low. This is a pattern shared with Aproz and Valser, both Swiss waters from the same general geological setting.
