About agriculture in Unterwasser
Located in the Toggenburg valley of the Canton of Saint Gallen, Unterwasser sits nestled between the Säntis massif and the Churfirsten mountain range. The rural landscape is characterized by steep alpine meadows, dense coniferous forests, and the high-altitude terrain near the source of the Thur River, offering a quintessential Swiss pre-alpine environment.
Agriculture in this high-altitude region is primarily dominated by dairy farming and livestock breeding. Farmers utilize the extensive alpine pastures for summer grazing, which is essential for producing the high-quality milk used in traditional Swiss cheese production. Sustainable forestry and small-scale mountain farming are also integral components of the local rural economy.
For agronomists and seasonal farm workers, the area provides opportunities mainly in livestock management and alpine dairy operations. Seasonal demand peaks during the summer grazing period (Alpzeit) and the haymaking season in the valleys. Workers should expect demanding physical labor in a mountain climate, with a focus on animal husbandry and the maintenance of mountain pastures.
