Description
How did people live in the Alps 500 years ago? What is life like there today?
The Alpine Museum shows how crafts and technology have changed over time. Whereas hand tools were once widely used, the advent of motorization replaced this technology. Work tools, text panels, and pictures of early mountain farming life are on display. The exhibits also show how wood and wool were used, which were very important to Alpine life.
Admission is free. Voluntary donations to support the Alpine Museum are welcome. The museum is open from mid-June to the end of September and is best reached on foot.
Historical Information
The hut was managed until 1998. Through the efforts of the cultural association, the alpine dairy was converted into a museum. It opened in September 2002.
