Unterwasser
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unterwasser is a small village in the canton of St. Gallen, Switzerland. It is part of the municipality of Wildhaus-Alt St. Johann. It is a relatively small ski resort, and many of its trails are shared with the nearby village of Wildhaus. Unterwasser in English means "underwater" (and may be so translated in automatic translations), but in this context means "between the waters" as two rivers run through the village.
Ski jumper Simon Ammann — winner of four gold medals in the 2002 and 2010 Winter Olympics, and World Champion 2007 — comes from Unterwasser.
