Isenthal Craft Market

Experience traditional crafts firsthand, savor Alpine cheese and regional specialties, and discover authentic Isenthal hospitality—the Isenthal Craft Market invites you to enjoy a delightful fall day in this innovative mountain village in Uri. Amid market stalls, the sounds of the alphorn, yodeling, and traditional folk dances, time-honored traditions come to life.

In the idyllic mountain village of Isenthal, you’ll discover ancient craft techniques that are rarely seen today. Making shingles and tools, sharpening scythes, and wild haymaking traditions—including the traditional “Stüdagarbä”—and even a wooden bike saw offer a vivid glimpse into how people worked in the Uri mountains both in the past and today. At lovingly designed market stalls, artisans and regional producers present their goods—from woodwork and handicrafts to a wide selection of alpine cheese, sausages, and other specialties straight from the Isenthal Alps.

The atmosphere is brought to life by alphorn music with Peter Gasser, the Isenthal Yodeling Choir, the Ennetbürgen Traditional Costume Dance Group, and the accordion duo Erwin Gasser.
