In reply to Stephan Arthur.

Thank you Stephan for taking the time to send a message. Your insight is so useful. Of course KWO view the Grimsel Hospiz as a gigantic marketing opportunity for their electricity generating company. I have found no mention (in english) of the actual flooding activity in the valleys when the reservoirs were created. Best wishes, Janet S

Interesting. However, just for information (I can provide details and illustrations), the present hospiz is NOT on the site of the original (which was a ‘spittel’ or hospital), but higher up. The original site is now under water, as the reservoir covered it in 1929. Whether that one had electricity (you write “in the 1920s”) or not I don’t know.
