Braunwald starts the summer season
The Braunwald ski lifts will start daily operation on Ascension Day, thus launching the 2025 summer season. The Hüttenberg – Grotzenbüel cable car will be in operation every day from Thursday, 29 May 2025, and the Gumen combined lift will be in operation every day from Saturday, 7 June 2025. Everything in Braunwald is therefore ready for exciting excursions during the upcoming public holidays.
Summer can come: the Braunwald ski lifts are ready and will start daily operations on the long Ascension Day weekend with the Hüttenberg – Grotzenbüel gondola. The Gumen combined lift will start operations one week later, on Whitsun. The lifts will then operate daily until 26 October 2025.
Excursion ideas for the holidays
At the start of the season on Ascension Day, 29 May 2025, several popular attractions and restaurants in Braunwald will open: the Chämistube mountain restaurant on Grotzenbüel will treat its guests to traditional dishes, the Grotzenbüel rope park will offer exciting climbing experiences, the trottinette rental will open up fast descents back to the village, and the Zwerg-Bartli adventure trail will delight families with children with exciting locations and cosy barbecue areas.
The Gumen combined lift will also start operations on Whitsun, Saturday 7 June 2025. From this date, the cosy Gumen mountain restaurant, which is particularly popular with hikers and climbers, will open its doors. Also from June – weather permitting – the climbing routes at the Eggstöcken will be accessible. The spectacular routes offer a pure mountain experience in an impressive alpine setting. Until then, the Braunwald panorama hike or the hike to the mystical Oberblegisee are promising alternatives for enjoying the mountain panorama.
Culinary delights and culture in Braunwald
Braunwald’s diverse gastronomy completes the summer offer: the Ortstockhaus will start the season on 13 June 2025 and invites guests to stop for a bite to eat with a breathtaking view. The BSINTI will open its doors from 29 May, from Wednesday to Sunday, with a varied programme of events and cultural activities throughout the summer season. Concerts, readings, exhibitions and more will enrich cultural life in Braunwald. The Nussbüel restaurant, which will also reopen on 29 May 2025, invites guests to enjoy a leisurely outing on foot or by horse-drawn carriage. Other restaurants in the village and the Bächibeizli are already open and welcome guests.
Fantastic summer highlights
Braunwald will once again become a stage for young and old in the summer. The varied family programme during the summer and autumn holidays will bring fun, entertainment and wonder to the holiday resort high above everyday life. A highlight is the Braunwald Fairy Tale Week from 28 July to 3 August 2025, which will delight with imaginative events. The Family Day in Braunwald on Wednesday, 30 July, will be the highlight of the week: the Hans im Glück fairy tale theatre will enchant both young and old in the Tödihalle, and the Chämistube will host a large fairy tale brunch with accompanying programme. There will also be numerous other surprises for the whole family. All information can be found at braunwald.ch/familyday.
