Upper Valais

Our "snowmen" are early risers: winter service as a service

When others are still lolling in their warm beds, the drivers and the team of our winter service are already busy clearing the snow. If it has snowed through during the night, their day's work begins at 04:00. For years, the Volken Group has been helping to ensure that traffic routes, pedestrian zones, various side streets and squares in the Upper Valais are free of snow and ice - from Fürgangen to Bellwald, in Ausserberg and Eggerberg, and from the village of Reckingen to the train station and on to Bitsch. Wherever the snow has been cleared, various salters follow. To keep these long stretches of road reliably free and clear, several snow blowers are in operation, along with more than a dozen trucks, vans and pneuloaders, as well as vehicles for salting. This is an important task that is handled around the clock as needed and is prepared months before the first snow falls.
