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.

Permanent closure of the hotel at the end of November 2026

After four intense years and more than 15,000 overnight stays, we, as the owners of Berglodge37, have been forced to close the hotel at the end of November 2026.

An expansion of Berglodge37 would have been necessary to run the hotel profitably in the long term. However, due to opposition on the mountain, this project could not be carried out as planned. This led us to rethink the future of Berglodge37 and set a new course.

New use planned for Berglodge37

In the future, we plan a concept based on seasonal apartment rentals, complemented by selected culinary and cultural events. We are also exploring the possibility of renting the lodge exclusively to business and leisure groups during the off-season.

A huge thank you goes to our guests, our partners and suppliers – and most especially to our team. All of you have shaped Berglodge37 over the past years. Our bond with you will continue beyond this chapter.

Towards the end of the year, we will be happy to share more about our concrete plans and the new direction of Berglodge37.

Please note

Guests with a booking from December 2026 onwards have been personally informed about the situation in recent days.

We are no longer accepting new bookings for stays until the end of November. If you would still like to redeem a Berglodge37 voucher, please get in touch with us directly. Together, we will see whether we can still find a suitable date.

Warmest regards,
Ruth & Martin and the Berglodge37 team
