Night of Shooting Stars

Astronomy Evening at Berglodge37

Night of Shooting Stars

High above the Uri valley, far from light pollution and everyday life, a truly special natural spectacle awaits you: the Night of Shooting Stars at Berglodge37.

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

As part of an interactive introduction, expert astronomer Jos Kohn will take you on a journey into the depths of the universe. And then the starry sky opens up before you. As darkness falls, you immerse yourself in the infinite expanse of the universe. August in particular shows the sky at its most magical. During these nights, an especially large number of shooting stars trace their luminous paths across the firmament — a fascinating spectacle that invites wonder, reflection and wishing. Nestled in the tranquil mountain world of the Eggbergen, where the stars appear particularly clear and close, you will learn fascinating facts about constellations, planets and cosmic phenomena, and discover the night sky from a completely new perspective with professional guidance. With a little luck, you will witness shooting stars by the second — an unforgettable moment that lets you feel the dimensions of the universe.

Even if the sky is veiled by clouds, the stargazing evening remains exciting and educational. In such cases, an alternative programme replaces the telescopic observation of the stars. You will be taken on a journey through the constellations using special software. An interactive quiz with fascinating questions about astronomy encourages participation and deepens understanding of the universe. In addition, you will gain insights into how a telescope works and learn more about its technology and handling.

Whether the sky is clear and scattered with twinkling stars or covered by clouds, the Night of Shooting Stars on the Eggbergen is more than an event — it is an experience for all the senses. An evening that fills you with wonder, helps you slow down, and perhaps sends you home with a wish.

Berglodge37 plans to cease operations at the end of November 2026

Berglodge37 plans to cease its hotel and conference operations at the end of November 2026. The final decision will be made once the ongoing consultation process with staff has been completed.

After four intensive and successful years with over 15,000 overnight stays, the owners find themselves faced with the situation that the hotel concept, with its 24 rooms, cannot be operated in a financially viable manner in the long term. Unfortunately, the expansion required to achieve this cannot be reconciled with the interests of the local mountain community.

Should the consultation process fail to yield a solution, the possibility of converting the three buildings into smaller holiday flats or apartments will be examined. As soon as concrete decisions and further details are available, we will provide an update here.

A huge thank you goes to everyone who has accompanied us on this special journey: our guests, including many loyal regulars; our highly motivated staff, who have time and again delighted our guests with their warmth; and the local mountain community for their openness and personal engagement. You have all made Berglodge37 what it is today: an extraordinary place with a vision for the future. Special thanks also go to the municipality of Altdorf for its proactive support.

Guests with an existing booking up to the end of November do not need to take any action; their stay can go ahead as usual with us. Guests with a booking from December onwards will be contacted by us following the consultation process.
