What to expect

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 Luchsingen, a scenic hour away. From there, a quaint gondola lift whisks you, 1090 meters above sea level to Brunnenberg. There you shoulder your alphorn and hike to lake Oberblegi - a pleasant but sometimes a bit steep hike to 1430 meters above sea level taking about 50 minutes. There you will find the perfect spots to play the alphorn.

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.
