History of the Villa Cassel

from 8 CHF
At the Pro Natura centre in Aletsch you can listen to stories about the Villa Cassel on the edge of the Aletsch Forest. The Villa Cassel was once called a “five franc coin in a cow pat” – which isn’t entirely wide of the mark. What trick did Sir Ernest use to obtain this remarkable development site? And which illustrious guests visited the historic villa in Valais? During an absolutely fascinating hour, you’ll gain an insight into the historic buildings of the Villa and Chalet Cassel and discover stories of bygone times. 

Dates: every Monday from July to October
Meeting point: 15:00 h in front of the entrance of Villa, Cassel, Pro Natura Centre Aletsch, Riederalp
