A typicality that has always given it a real tourist appeal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div> [vc_single_image image=”5050″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1652256566022{margin-top: 6em !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1652254643951{padding-top: 5% !important;padding-right: 5% !important;padding-bottom: 5% !important;padding-left: 5% !important;background-color: #dddddd !important;}”][vc_tta_accordion style=”flat” shape=”square” c_position=”right” active_section=”1″ no_fill=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”A mountain of wild beauty” tab_id=”1576575919904-2ef760b0-32a3″][vc_column_text]To the west of the village of Sembrancher rises the majestic Mont Catogne<\/strong>, famous for its shape resembling a volcano. Thissummit of the Valais Alps<\/strong> which culminates at 2598 meters above sea level, is indeed renowned for its splendid singular beauty. The fauna and flora flourish there and you can come across ibexes and varieties of wild flowers at the bend of a path. Hiking on Mont Catogne is a breathtaking breath of nature, in a unique environment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

At the top, the view is breathtaking and a feeling of being at the end of the world immediately embraces you. The breathtaking panorama embarks on a plunging discovery over the Rhone Valley and an almost timeless parenthesis. A picturesque mountain<\/strong>, offering various access paths, depending on the preferred difficulty.<\/p>\n

Sembrancher mineral water! A water that flows in its heart and emerges through an Artesian well on the mountainside. Sembrancher mineral water was born on the day when, in 2008, from the bowels of the Earth, it gently let itself be taken to the beautiful light of day, after having gently walked through the bowels of this majestic granite pyramid. Present at a depth of more than 55 meters, it is carefully collected at its own pace and does not undergo any pumping, or brutal extraction, or of course any chemical treatment.<\/p>\n

A singularity undoubtedly unique in the world which makes it an exceptional water!<\/strong><\/p>\n

What are the key dates in the history of Sembrancher mineral water, a premium Swiss water that seduces epicureans with its neutrality and high quality.<\/p>\n

A look back at some historical sequences\u2026 Along the water![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”The ancestral benefits” tab_id=”1576677271019-612ed73f-3417″][vc_column_text]According to the history of the town, the first consumers of Sembrancher water date back to 1239. Its great taste qualities, its taste neutrality and its beneficial effects on the health of the inhabitants have contributed to the growing notoriety of Sembrancher, which has become one of of the most famous waters in Switzerland.<\/p>\n

For the anecdote, Doctor Louis Lude, based in the village of Sembrancher, observed in the 1920s an extremely low rate of cavities among children in the town. And this, in resonance with that of the other children of the district. From this observation, he deduced that the population had to ingest fluoride on a regular basis. Intrigued, he transmitted his observations to the cantonal health authorities, opening the way to a good number of studies on the quality of the waters of Sembrancher and on its typicality.<\/p>\n

Thus, from 1920 to 2002, the proven quality and properties of Sembrancher water aroused the recurring interest of scientists, consumers and companies wishing to bottle it.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Official recognition” tab_id=”1576677252643-bcc0b811-206d”][vc_column_text]It was in the early 2000s, in 2002 precisely, that the Communal Council of the village of Sembrancher commissioned the hydrogeologist office ALPGEO in Sierre, for the study and recognition of the mineral waters of Sembrancher. From November 2003, drilling work was carried out and a variety of geological investigations were carried out.<\/p>\n

Following these numerous geological studies and the various analyzes required for certification, the S.E.E.M.S. S.A., Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 d\u2019exploitation des Eaux Min\u00e9rales de Sembrancher S.A. was finally commissioned in the fall of 2008 and obtained the exclusive exploitation of the Mineral Water of Sembrancher.<\/p>\n

A precious resource that we remember is collected in a reasoned way (only 1%) at the exit of the Artesian well, without pumping and without brutality. The Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 des Eaux Min\u00e9rales de Sembrancher has always since worked with constant and permanent respect for people, ecosystems and the environment.<\/p>\n
