On this excursion, you will get to know the alphorn in its natural habitat. You will discover a spectacular mountain lake in Central Switzerland, surrounded by rugged rock faces. In summer, Glattalp offers a wonderful way to cool down from the heat in the valley. 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 Glattalp - e. g. g. hiking around the lake - or simply to relax and breathe the clear mountain air, sitting in a restaurant with a stunning view of the Alps.
From your hotel, we drive with our comfortable Mercedes Benz minivan to Muotathal / Sahli (approx. 1 one-hour drive). There, a gondola takes us up to 1877 meters above sea level to Glattalp. At lake Glattalp you will get 2-3 hours of private alphorn tuition. Each participant will have his/her personal instrument for the day. You have the option to hike around Glattalpsee (roughly 90 minutes walk) or swim in the lake. For lunch, there are two authentic restaurants - but you may also bring your own lunch with you. On the way, you may want to shop for some mountain cheese in Muotathal. The itinerary is flexible, for any changes please let me know.
