Overview of your Lucerne tour:

On this excursion, you will get to know the alphorn in its natural habitat. Bannalp is a little alpine paradise close to Engelberg and Mount Titlis. During the tour, you will learn the basics of alphorn blowing. No previous experience is required. I will introduce you step by step to the blowing technique and will tell you as much as you like about the history and background of the Swiss national instrument. You will hear how your sounds merge with the echo and the silence of the mountains. Besides, you have plenty of time to explore Bannalp. If you are up to it, we hike up to Alp Oberfeld (some 150m of elevation) where you may encounter the most lovely goats in Central Switzerland. Or we stay around the lake with its romantic chapel and the comfortable restaurant of Bannalp Guest House.

Your Lucerne tour itinerary

From your hotel, we drive with our comfortable Mercedes Benz minivan to Oberrickenbach (approx. 40' drive). There, a gondola takes us up to 1718 meters above sea level to Chrützhütte. From there we either hike to Alp Oberfeld (1826 meters above sea level) or directly down to the lake (1587 meters above sea level). During the day you will enjoy 2-3 hours of private Alphorn tuition - for this, we find the spots with the best view and echo. Each participant will have his/her personal instrument for the day and will carry it on his/her back (the instrument and the bag weigh approximately 6kg). For lunch, there are four authentic restaurants - but you may also bring your own lunch with you. It is also possible to take a bath in Bannalp Lake. In the afternoon we take another gondola that brings us back to our minivan. On the way, we may stop at the local cheese factory and buy cheese made with the milk of the goats of Bannalp. The itinerary is flexible, for any changes please let me know.
