Valser Silence

3 years – that’s the average length of time it takes for the natural mineral water to percolate through the rocks of the Grison mountains until it emerges at St. Paulsquelle spring.

The recently tapped St. Paulsquelle spring lies 1,815m above sea level, high above the Vals Valley – in the heart of the untouched mountainous region above the treeline.

By comparison, it takes around 25 years for Valser Classic and Naturelle to percolate through 1,000m of rock to emerge from the St. Petersquelle spring at the bottom of Vals Valley, which is located at an altitude of 1,250m.

Valser Silence

The St. Paulsquelle spring was formed at the end of the last ice age, making it over 10,000 years old. What makes this recently tapped spring so special is the mild tasting water. This is thanks to its low mineral content which, in precise terms, is just 220mg/l.

By comparison, Valser Classic and Naturelle contain 1,870mg/l.

The reason for Valser Silence’s low mineral content is the water’s comparatively short journey through the mountain. After all, the shorter the time the water is on the move, the less time it has to absorb minerals. The duration of the journey depends on the depth of the aquiferous layers of rock. Valser Silence emerges from a depth of 100m at a temperature of 5°C.

By comparison, Valser Classic and Naturelle emerge from a depth of 1,000m at a temperature of around 30°C – absorbing minerals during the course of their roughly 25-year journey.
