Alphorn day at the Oberblegisee

Alphorn in the Alps offers this special alphorn course in the mountains

Spend an unforgettable day in the Swiss Alps and immerse yourself in the magical soundscape of the mountains. From Zurich we will take you to the most beautiful places and show you how to play the alphorn. In a short time you will learn the basics of alphorn blowing – no previous musical knowledge is required. Listen to your breath turn into music and the rocks begin to sing. It’s great fun! Unlike other alphorn courses, we introduce you to the iconic Swiss instrument in its natural habitat. For the day we provide an alphorn for all participants.

The journey to Oberblegisee is quite long: first a one-hour ride by minibus to Luchsingen, then an exciting gondola ride to Brunnenberg and finally a steep climb on foot (400 meters in altitude). But the scenery at this tranquil mountain lake at 1420 m.a.s.l. is simply spectacular. The steep rock faces sing a sweet echo that will make your first contact with the alphorn an unforgettable experience. For the lunch break we walk to the cozy Bächibeizli – the tenant also plays the alphorn, but will probably not find time to accompany us. Overall, one of our favorite tours. Possibility to spend the night on the Bösbächi Alp (near the Bächibeizli) and watch the alpine dairyman making cheese in the morning.
