The season on the alp begins on 1 June and ends in mid-September. You can spend the night in a cosy dormitory with mattresses for up to 6 people. Pillows and duvets are provided, but for reasons of hygiene it is recommended that you bring your own sleeping bag. Breakfast is included in the price, and a separate price list is provided for dinner and other catering.
Overnight stays for groups can be booked on request by e-mail. Guests have access to separate guest toilets for men and women with running water (showers are not available).
Delicious organic products from the alp, such as alp cheese, fried cheese and alp butter, can be purchased on site.
The reservation of the sleeping place should be made in advance via the online booking form. If you have any further questions, please contact us by e-mail at alp.oberlachen@bluewin.ch.
