Alphorn day on the Bannalp with Alphorn in the Alps

Get to know the alphorn in its natural habitat. From Zurich I will take you to the most beautiful places in the Alps 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 good vibes and the rocks begin to sing. It’s mighty fun and opens your ears to the soundscape of the mountains! Unlike other alphorn courses, you will discover the alphorn not in a musty practice room but where it belongs. For the day we provide an alphorn for all participants.

Bannalp is a hidden gem and the perfect destination for an alphorn day. After a one-hour drive to Oberrickenback, a gondola lift takes us to the Chrützhütte at 1718 meters above sea level. We can linger there, play at Bannsee or hike to the spectacular Alp Oberfeld (45 minutes from Bannsee, 250 meters high), famous for its echo. You can bring your lunch with you or take it in one of the restaurants in the area. Note: Bannalp is also suitable for two-day trips with an overnight stay at the Chrützhütte; couples and small families can also book a room at Alp Oberfeld. Price includes gondola ticket.
