Recycling on the Turtmann training area

On the former Turtmann military airfield at the foot of the Valais Alps, new levees are providing additional safety against falling rock. Apart from the Forces, the native fauna is also benefiting from the project. This is because armasuisse Real Estate has used synergies to create wetlands in parallel to the dams. These create a valuable habitat for water frogs, for example, thus strengthening biodiversity in the region.
