Yodel meets Gershwin – A Flying Lunch Concert on the Eggli ID:
Mountain Spirit
Sunday, 10. August 2025
11:30 a.m., Eggli Lounge
Have you enjoyed the unique charm of the brunch concerts on the Alp? Then you’re going to adore the new “Flying Lunch” concept on the Eggli summit just as much: a seamless blend of gourmet delights and musical highlights, all served to you while you sit back, relax and enjoy the moment. For the grand finale of the “Mountain Spirit” concert series, a vibrant programme has been crafted: an inspired fusion of American, folkloric and Danish string quartet arrangements, intertwined with the art of yodeling, brought to life by the local musician Beatrice Villiger. From traditional alpine yodels to contemporary compositions – highlighted by the Jodel Serenade from Château-d’Œx composer Reto Stadelmann – this event promises a delightful harmony of heritage and modernity.
Mountain Ascent & Descent
Both rides with the Eggli Gstaad cable cars are included in the ticket price.
Ascent from about 11.00 am.
Descent from about 1.45 pm.
A Culinary Experience
The Eggli mountain restaurant team invites you on a delightful culinary journey, perfectly complementing the concert programme. Enjoy a “Flying Lunch” with an exquisite selection of treats, from appetisers to the main course and dessert, served right at your seat in the Eggli Lounge or at various standing and seating areas.
The “Flying Lunch”, including drinks, is part of your ticket.
In case of bad weather: Both the concert and the “Flying Lunch” will be held inside the Berghaus Eggli.
