Working and researching in the mountains

On forays around Villa Cassel, we explore nature in all its diversity and take a close look at even the smallest creatures. We collect natural objects, which we use to print, craft and carve in the workshop.
Participants arrive at the center on Friday between 1.00 and 1.45 pm. We then explore the Aletsch Forest together in a playful way, using all our senses. Summer-green larches, fragrant pine cones, inconspicuous glacier tracks or busy nutcrackers - what will we discover along the way?

After a hearty breakfast on Saturday morning, the children become insect researchers and herb collectors in the mountain meadows around Villa Cassel. Afterwards, the collected finds will be closely scrutinized, examined and processed in the nature workshop - I wonder what will emerge here? The adults have the choice of discovering the Aletsch region on their own or accompanying the children on their explorations. The program ends at around 5.30 pm in front of Villa Cassel.

On Sunday, we will go game watching together at first light. With a bit of luck we will see deer and chamois. The weekend comes to an end after breakfast at around 10.00 am.
