Mineral water: 100% nature in the highest quality

Mineral water is 100% nature in the highest quality. It springs from natural sources and contains valuable minerals and trace elements. Find out more about how mineral water is formed and where it comes from in this article.

The importance of water quality in Switzerland

Water quality is becoming increasingly important in Switzerland. The need for trust has grown significantly, including trust in food and in water as an element. It is therefore no surprise that pure and natural mineral waters, with their many valuable minerals and highest quality, enjoy great popularity.

How is mineral water formed?

Mineral water flows underground through various layers of rock, absorbing valuable minerals along the way. Through this multi-year process, the water is naturally filtered and then bottled in its original purity at the source.

Strict legal requirements

Swiss mineral water may only be treated to a very limited extent and is subject to strict legal requirements. This ensures that Swiss mineral water maintains a consistently high quality. Internal and external controls and certifications guarantee a consistently flawless experience.

Difference between mineral water and tap water

Tap water, on the other hand, is often sourced from lakes and rivers and is chemically or physically treated. It can contain unwanted substances such as pesticides, which come mainly from agriculture.

Water directly from the best sources in Switzerland

In Switzerland, mineral waters are bottled from over 20 sources. Some spring from mountain rocks, others from the green plains of the Mittelland. All of them guarantee the highest quality.

Example sources

The Rhäzünser and Arkina mineral waters, for example, spring from the left bank of the Heinzenberg. The two sources were first mentioned over 220 years ago. The mineral waters are captured at a depth of up to 50 metres, filtered and then bottled at the facility in Rhäzüns.

Different mineralisation of mineral water

In addition to their geological origin, natural mineral waters are distinguished by their individual composition.

• Rhäzünser: A mineral water with high mineralisation – the bicarbonate content in particular is especially pronounced.
• Arkina: A mineral water with a balanced mineral salt content, making it a natural mineral water with a pleasantly harmonious taste.

Some mineral waters naturally contain carbonation, while others have it added. It creates a pleasant tingling sensation and refreshes. Whether you prefer a «still» or «sparkling» mineral water with «high» or «light» mineralisation is a matter of taste.
