It was located in the Tschappina community at an altitude of 1,600 meters at the top on the terrace of the Inner Heinzenberg between the Weisser Nolla and Schwarzer Nolla streams.

It was inhabited since at least 1345, but today it is only an alpine pasture. The settlement was abandoned around 1870 due to the unstable soil and heavy erosion from the Lüschersee and the Black Nolla. The lowering of the at 1920  m above sea level. M. Lüschersee in 1902 could not save the settlement.

The surnames Masüger and Massüger are derived from this settlement.
