On the Eggbergen, high above the Uri valley and under a clear sky, the stars appear in all their glory and seem almost within reach. Here, in this enchanting setting, a fascinating opportunity opens up to explore the stars more closely and immerse yourself in the captivating world of astronomy.

The evening begins with a delicious Apéro Riche, where you can relax in a cosy atmosphere and prepare for the adventure ahead.

You will have the opportunity to learn more about the fascinating phenomena of the cosmos and expand your knowledge.

Afterwards, there is the chance to put what you have learned directly into practice.

You can experience the beauty and incredible detail of the universe with your own eyes and be captivated by the fascination of distant galaxies, star clusters and planets.
