"I had everything I wanted," says eighty-year-old Irma Clavadetscher today. As one of the first hut caretakers in Switzerland, she spent almost half her life at 2,610 meters above sea level, deep in the Engadin Val Roseg. From 1963 to 2001, she managed the Coaz Hut there together with her husband. Author Irene Wirthlin recounts this remarkable life story: Irma's sheltered youth by Lake Zurich, her marriage to her great love, the mountain guide Christian Clavadetscher, and the many years the couple spent with their two children living in the hut during the summer and in Samedan during the winter. Hard work, incredible nature experiences, and encounters with people from all over the world have shaped Irma Clavadetscher's life. With sensitivity and excitement, the cheerful, touching, and dramatic stories of the hut caretaker are told, showcasing the extraordinary life of this pragmatic, nature-loving, and wise woman.
