Description
During the short snow-free period, about 50 m3 of rock are mined annually by specialists. Holes are drilled at intervals of about 10 cm and the Giltstein blocks are carefully separated with the help of iron wedges. Blocks weighing up to 7 t are transported by truck to the workshop in Sedrun or Disentis. From the annual mining volume, 20-30 new Tasetscher furnaces are produced every year, which are also in great demand outside the valley and Switzerland. Since the end of the 1970s, Giger SA has had the sole concession for rock mining on the Calmut. www.giger-sa.ch
In a studio in Segnas, Regina Giger also produces everyday objects and art objects made of soapstone. www.rgc-art.ch
