Helpful facts

In the middle of the icy and pitch-black winter night, you can experience special celestial events such as shooting star nights, meteor showers, full moons... up close.


The untouched high valley is far away from brightly lit towns and light sources and is therefore ideal for marveling at the thousands of twinkling constellations under expert guidance. After an approximately half-hour hike, a crackling campfire, steaming punch and mulled wine await you. Our nature education guides will accompany you on a picnic under the stars on the following dates
