Swiss Culture Stage
Experience the diversity and vibrancy of Swiss folk culture on the Swiss Culture Stage at the Swiss Open-Air Museum. From 5 July to 17 August 2025, Ballenberg’s historical backdrops will be transformed into a stage for Swiss folk culture. The programme includes yodelling, alphorns, brass bands, choirs, folk dancing and accordion music from all over the country. Look forward to a summer full of music, dance and tradition.
The Swiss Culture Stage is located next to the Dwelling from Sachseln OW (711).
