    Where can someone find people playing alpha horns with a great background? Or even hire one or two to play at a mountain top for an engagement photo? Would also like to find a photographer for a nominal fee. TÍA

    Hi Johnnycmay

    When we went up the Stanserhorn in June 2018 a couple of people played alphorns in the restaurant during the afternoon. I don’t know if this a regular occurrence.

    Various villages hold music festivals during the summer. We went to one in Wengen the same year.

    Hope this is of help.

    Kind regards

    Thank you,

    Hi Anna,

    That’s great to know, and thank you for the link.

    Since I’m not a skier, I like going in September since the weather is usually nicer. As such, I pretty much have resigned myself to the fact that most festivals have already taken place, so it’s nice to know I can catch an Alphorn concert in Sept, and I’m looking forward to it. Thanks again.

    Regards,

    Danielsan
