Description
Step inside – and leave time behind
Our tour takes you through the quiet walls of the former monastery, where the spirit of the Capuchin order is still palpable today. Step by step, we build a bridge between the simple, monastic life of past centuries and the new purpose of this special place: a house where knowledge, craftsmanship, and enjoyment around the culinary arts of the Alpine region have come to life.
We tell stories about the Capuchins, their significance for the region, and a way of life characterized by mindfulness, groundedness, and closeness to nature – values that continue to resonate here to this day. Spaces that usually remain hidden open up: from the mysterious Alpsbrinz cellar to the attic. A short detour to the Edible Landscape shows how new ideas grow from tradition.
What has become of the monastery? How does its history connect with the present? And what stories do the walls still carry?
An entertaining hour full of history, secrets, and surprising insights – a journey through the centuries.
We look forward to discovering this special place with you.
