The Alps2O source is located near the little village of Eptingen in north-western Switzerland, in the northern part of the Alps. Alps2O springs from a mountain called Lauchflue. Lauchflue is 1,042 metres high and is flanked from the south by alpine peaks above 3,000 metres high.
Precisely, Alps2O's source is located on a lovely bump of Lauchflue’s northern slope, a place local people refer to as Birchhöchi. Birchhöchi is exactly 862 metres and 23 centimetres above sea level. In the valley, a nice little brook is flowing, called Diegter.

The geologic history of Lauchflue is very fascinating. Around 250 million years ago, this area was covered by a warm sea called Tethys, peppered with lovely coral reefs and lagoons. During this time, various layers of calcium and magnesium rich sediments were deposited on the sea bed. About 100 million years ago, the continental drift effaced Tethys and elevated that inexhaustible reservoir of minerals to form Lauchflue.

The geological structure of Lauchflue, the mountain from which Alps2O
springs, is built from multiple layers of mineral rich rocks. These
rocks contain those minerals which your body needs to be happy all day
and all night. As rain filters through each of these layers, the water purges and absorbs minerals from the mountain. Alps2O acquires the essence of the rocks. The essence of the rocks is to be strong and durable. When the water sees daylight again at the source, it has been oozing through pure rocks for over 20 years. |

Alps2O is bottled
at source. The highest level of hygiene rules in the bottling facility,
in order to ensure that Alps2O is as pure in your pallet as
it is at its source. Also, each and every bottle is thoroughly rinsed
before being filled. The hyper-modern facility fills about 15’000
bottles per hour, which makes it a very small operation.
