Shepherd for a Day

Shepherd for a Day – At the 400-year-old Alpine hut "Nagulschbalmu" visitors can experience how a sheperd spends his working day on Riederalp in times long gone by. They can experience how dairymen worked and how they interacted with visitors in those days.

Try your hand at hotelkeeping

Culinary activities – Mr. Mueller wants another room, Mrs. Meier finds a hair in her soup, and little Fritz locks himself in the bathroom: it's not always easy to manage a hotel. If you want to give it a try, you can do so at the Panoramahotel Alphubel together with friends, your club or on your own. You will never feel as if you have been left to your own devices, though - the hotelier couple will be at your side, giving you advice and helping out, in order to avert a total catastrophe...

Schon in der Frühzeit war die Felseninsel zwischen dem Genfersee und den steil aufragenden Bergen bewohnt. Von hier wurde jahrhundertelang der Schiffsverkehr auf dem Genfersee und der bedeutende Landweg zum St.Bernhard-Pass beherrscht. Vom 12. bis ins 16. Jahrhundert gehörte Chillon den Grafen von Savoyen, dann eroberten die Berner die Wasserburg, danach die Waadtländer. Über 300’000 Besucher besichtigen pro Jahr Chillon mit den Wandmalereien aus dem 14. Jahrhundert, den unterirdischen Gewölben, Paradesälen und dem original erhaltenen Schlafzimmer aus der Zeit der Berner Herrschaft. Schon in der Frühzeit war die Felseninsel

Fondue trail Schönried

Culinary activities – you buy a packet of fondue mix, pick up a rucksack packed with all the other things you need such as the caquelon or fondue pan, burner and bread and set off on the path to "haute" cuisine.

The Fondue Trail offers walkers and gourmets the combination of an open-air fondue party and a scenic walk with culinary highs. First you collect the fondue rucksack with everything you need from the Schönrieder dairy. Then off you go up to the Rellerli or the Horneggli, and at the end of your panoramic walk you can have your fondue in the open air. You can hand the rucksack back at the bottom station of the lift or at the hotel (and the dairy does the washing up!).
