SUMMARY:Introduction to the alphorn
DESCRIPTION:Two-day introductory courses are offered in collaboration with music teachers and enthusiastic alphorn players. There’s no doubt that at the end of the course\, you’ll be able to play your first notes\, and that the distinctive sound of this ancient instrument will give you a thrill.  \nWeather permitting\, lessons take place outdoors in the Pra da Dzeu area\, as it is outdoors that the alphorn is in its natural element and resonates best. Otherwise\, they take place at the resort’s sports center.  \nThese courses are open to children from the age of eight.

SUMMARY:Federal Yodeling Festival Basel
DESCRIPTION:For the first time since 1924\, a Federal Yodelling Festival is to be held in Basel in the summer of 2026. In addition to around 1\,000 judged performances in the categories of yodeling\, alphorn blowing and flag-waving\, the focus at a Federal Yodeling Festival is always on socializing. The three-day event in the city on the Rhine is expected to attract 10\,000 participants and 150\,000 visitors. The date of the 32nd Federal Yodelling Festival Basel has now been set. It will take place from June 26 to 28\, 2026. \nThe Federal Yodelling Festival in Basel was already planned for 2020\, but had to be postponed by a year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Three months before the 2021 date\, the event was definitely canceled. Basel will now have its Federal Yodelling Festival in 2026 after all. In March 2022\, the delegates of the Swiss Yodelling Association (EJV) awarded the Northwestern Switzerland sub-association the right to host the event in 2026. This takes place outside the regular 15-year cycle of the sub-associations\, as the Bernese Cantonal Yodeling Association is foregoing the 2026 event in favor of the cancelled festival in Basel. \nThe festival site and the venues for the presentations by the active participants are all planned centrally in Basel’s city center. Details will follow in due course.
