Night of Shooting Stars

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.
