What to expect

Experience an Alphorn Day like never before in Glattalp, departing from Zürich.

Discover the art of alphorn blowing in its natural habitat. Immerse yourself in the stunning Swiss mountains, where a majestic alpine lake nestled amidst rugged rock faces awaits. Your journey begins with a comfortable minibus ride to Muothathal, a scenic hour away. From there, a quaint gondola lift whisks you 1877 meters above sea level to the heart of Glattalp. Navigate the Glattalpsee region, seeking out the perfect spots for the most enchanting echoes. Engage in a leisurely hike around the lake, the total walking time never exceeding 1 1/2 hours. Carry your alphorn on your back, as you're guided through introductory exercises en route. Throughout the day, you'll delve into the fundamentals of alphorn playing on your very own instrument. The tour guide will lead you through step-by-step blowing techniques and provide intriguing insights into alphorn history.

By day's end, you'll delight in playing a simple melody with your group, promising unforgettable fun and camaraderie.
