Ballenberg Swiss Open-Air Museum

Groups can get up close and personal with the Ballenberg open-air museum. The guided tours provide a deeper insight and highlight certain topics in detail, such as life in the Alps, natural healing or wedding, birth and death ceremonies. During the activity programs, guests can lend a hand: in the workshop, baking bread, mixing herbal tea or even taking over the kitchen completely and cooking on the wood stove.
