Yodel meets Gershwin – A Flying Lunch Concert on the Eggli

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.
