Mountain forest, hay, and flower meadow (3 days)
Your alpine weekend in the national park
Old knowledge rediscovered
Fri 19 - Sun 21 June 2026
The atmospheric time around the summer solstice invites us to pause and reflect on our origins. In a special place in the middle of the national park, we rediscover ancient knowledge – from craftsmanship and traditional cuisine to a mindful approach to nature. Whether scything, cooking with herbs, or baking in a wood-fired oven, we experience how fulfilling it is to create things with our own hands and draw strength from nature. What you learn here will continue to grow—in your garden, your home, and within yourself.
