Chästeilet Wengen

Chästeilet Wengen

The Chästeilet was held for the first time in 1999. At that time, it still had a few beer tables. There was also a small drinks tent and a barbecue on the Eigerhubel.

The festival was such a success that the following year the Chästeilet was held on the ice rink, the current location.

The "schnapps idea" of the regular chef's table developed into the second-largest event in Wengen after the Lauberhorn races. Today, we welcome between 1000 and 1300 visitors every year. The barbecue is still there, but the range has been expanded to include rösti, roast veal and other delicacies from Wengen's hotels and restaurants. A bar has now also been established.

The core idea of the Chästeilet is to give the local alpine farmers an opportunity to sell their cheese. In Wengen, you can become a cow shareholder. You can find out what the cow share is all about here. Around 1.3 tons of alpine cheese change hands every year at the Chästeilet. If you would like to see this impressive tower live, visit us at the ice rink in Wengen on September 27, 2026. If you would like to choose a wheel yourself, you can become a shareholder here.

The Chästeilet is rounded off by a showcase cheese-making event by the Wengenalper Sennen, the Trychlerclub Wengen, the Alphornecho Tuniberg and many more....
