Have you ever been on a Swiss alp or visited a traditional Swiss folk festival? This is your chance to do both!
On the 24th of July there is a «Apl Stobete» on the «Meglisalp» in the «Alpstein».
At a «Alp Stobete» the alp farmers from the alpine region, regular farmers and hikers gater. The alp farmers usually dress up in their traditional costumes. Usually there is traditional music (Some examples are jodel, accordion or hackbrett) and some people dancing to it.
We will hike to the «Meglisalp». The hike takes about two and a half hours. On the way to the «Meglisalp» we pass some other alps where you can buy cheese they made there. On our way back we will come by the «Seealpsee». This is a mountain lake, where we will take a break. You can also go swimming or rent a rowing boat.
For lunch you can bring your own food or you can get someting at the «Meglisalp».
It is important that you have good shoes for the hike. Preferabely you have hiking boots. If not make sure that your shoes have a good sole. If you are unsure whether your shoes are suitable don't hesitate to contact me!
