History of the Villa Cassel
Discover the exciting history of Villa Cassel in the Aletsch Forest at the Pro Natura Center Aletsch. It was once known as the "Fünfliber im Kuhfladen" - and this nickname is not entirely inappropriate.
How did Sir Ernest Cassel get this extraordinary building site? And which famous guests came and went at the historic villa in Valais?
