Thanks to good contacts, a RaspberryShake-1D sensor could be installed today at a low-noise location in the Valais. This region is known to be that of highest seismic activity in Switzerland, with recurrent damaging events. The latest of the major events occurred in 1946 in Sierre, and had a magnitude of 5.8. The data recorded by the station installed today can be seen online here.
