Overview of your Zurich tour:

On this excursion, you will get to know the alphorn on a hike to a beautiful lake in the Canton of Glarus. 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. The hike itself takes about 2 1/2 hours during which you climb some 400 meters of elevation with an alphorn on your back.

Your Zurich tour itinerary

From your hotel, we drive in our comfortable Mercedes Benz minivan to Luchsingen. There, a gondola takes us up to 1095 meters above sea level at Brunnenberg. We then take a very safe but a bit steep mountain path that leads us to Lake Oberblegi at 1420 meters above sea level. At the lake, you will enjoy 2-3 hours of private alphorn tuition. For lunch, we can visit the nice restaurant nearby at Bächialp. From there we walk down a gravel road back to Brandenburg. On the way back, you may want to stop at a bakery in Glarus and buy the local specialty "Glarnerpastete" to sweeten your day in the Alps. The itinerary is flexible, for any changes please let me know.
