Description:
Gigerwald – Life Below the Dam
Welcome to idyllic Gigerwald in Switzerland – nestled below the imposing dam of Lake Gigerwald, surrounded by a breathtaking yet challenging Alpine landscape.
This farm combines traditional agriculture with modern technology and demands your full attention.
At its heart is an old farmstead with a traditional inn, inviting you to linger and preserving the charm of bygone days.
Just a few meters away, a modern cowshed with state-of-the-art round bale drying equipment was recently put into operation – a symbol of change and progress in the valley.
Farming focuses entirely on grassland: organic fertilization, mowing, windrowing, and round bale harvesting are central to your daily routine.
Arable farming plays no role in this Alpine region – instead, efficient work on steep meadows is key.
The map offers opportunities for production and processing:
On-site dairy
Round bale drying
Quarry
Small and large cement plants
Sawmill
Water can be drawn directly from the surrounding streams, but it's easier to get it from the hydrant in front of the Gigerwald mountain inn.
The terrain requires special attention: Scree and small rocks, especially in the fields, can be crushed into usable stones with the jackhammer and processed in the cement plant.
The extremely steep terrain presents a real challenge – both for you and your machinery. Precision, planning, and the right equipment are key to success.
Are you ready to take on this alpine challenge?
Note: The roads have a special collision warning because the extreme gradient would make them very bumpy – avoid terraforming on the main roads.
