Tours & Events

Culinary-herb-Apero with snack

There is an herb for everything and one for every meal.
If you take a closer look at the plant world, you will find countless uses and applications, both culinary and healing, sometimes both. But already the green balcony, the ingrown herb spiral or the shady house entrance planted with mint, please the mind with scent, the eye with blossoms and provides food for insects as well.

Guided Tour Guggerbachtal-Alpinum

During the guided tour of our "actual" botanical collection, you will get a deep insight into what plants are capable of at high altitudes and the variety that can be found all over the world. Experience with us what it means to be a botanical garden at 1800 m above sea level and marvel at what is probably the largest collection of edelweiss in the world.

Due to the sometimes narrow and steep paths, this tour is only possible with sturdy shoes and only for sure-footed people.

If you are unable to take part on a Tuesday, you can also book the tour privately.

Guided Tour historical Alpinum

In, what is probably our most popular tour, you will get to know the parts of the garden directly infront of the hotel in one to one and a half hours. The guided tour in the primarily historical Alpinum gives a deep insight into our philosophy and working methods, but also into the associated protagonists, our plants. Due to the flat terrain and the rather short distance, it is also possible for older guests.

Botany in a glas

We are pleased to be able to present a new event to you this year. "Botany in a Glas" is a small, fine event that is exciting for the mind and the palate. Every Thursday at 5:30 p.m., head gardener Fabian Reppel will present you with a spirit for tasting. In addition, and with special attention, the plant backgrounds, cultural characteristics and myths are discussed. This year we start with alternating gin and absinthe.
