Your private Alphorn Day
Spend a day playing alphorn in the midst of stunning scenery. All our destinations are within a one-hour drive by minivan. Some alps are then reached by cable car or after an easy hike.
We lend you a personal alphorn for the day and provide 2-3 hours of alphorn tuition. You will learn the basics of alphorn blowing and hear about the background of the instrument. At the end of the day, you will be able to play a simple melody together. There is also enough time for a break in a mountain restaurant or simply to enjoy the clean mountain air. Additional options (e.g. visit to a cheese factory) for certain destinations.
Price for the group: 800 CHF base price plus 80 CHF per personÂ
(i.e. 1 person: 880 CHF / 2 persons: 960 CHF / 3 persons: 1040 CHF / 4 persons: 1120 CHF / 5 persons: 1200 CHF / 6 persons: 1280 CHF)
