In the "Laubänähus" - House of Avalanches, the history of the St. Antönier avalanches can be experienced in an impressive way.
Description
An exhibition dedicated to the history and experiences of the St. Antönier avalanches.
For centuries, St. Antönien was repeatedly hit by severe avalanches, which shaped life in the high valley. In a small cinema, old film documents and new footage of survivors telling their impressions can be seen. In the authentically recreated Walserstube, in addition to the secrecy, you also experience the queasy feeling of an avalanche night, as in the accident of 20 January 1951, when the light begins to flicker and the roar of the masses of snow drowns out your own voice.
But it is not only the tragic events that find space in the Laubänähus: a timeline shows the planning and construction of avalanche protection from the beginning to the present day. Exhibited on real concrete and steel elements, you can get an idea of the dimensions of the imposing avalanche barriers that characterize the Chüenihorn and the Eggberg.
In the newly created action room, you can experience the avalanches visually and physically up close.
