In our daily schedule we constantly publish the activities for the season. The plan is updated monthly, so please check back from time to time.

(House numbers) see museum map.
Between 12.30 and 13.15 we take a break for half an hour. Times may differ.
All Ballenberg-buildings are open daily from 10 am to 5 pm.

Open daily: "Alter Bären" restaurant, 9am to 6pm, "Degen" inn, 9am to 5.30 pm. Further opening hours are available on site.

Depending on the weather and the number of guests, there may be less to see during cheese making and bread baking, towards the end of the listed times. As we attach importance to not having to throw away any edibles, less cheese and bread will be produced on days with fewer guests. We ask for your understanding for this.

In case of emergency: Emergency number Ballenberg Open-Air Museum +41 33 952 80 44
