Yodeling Evening in Wengen – Alpine Music in the Heart of the Village

In mid-October, Wengen’s community comes together for an evening of traditional Swiss alpine music. The Yodeling Evening is a chance for visitors to experience authentic mountain culture in an intimate setting, just a short walk from Hotel Victoria Lauberhorn.

Event Overview

Date: 11 October 2025
Hosted by the local Wengen yodeling group, this evening features a variety of performances, including yodel choirs from Wengen and guest ensembles from other Swiss regions. Traditional instruments such as the alphorn and the Schwyzerörgeli (Swiss accordion) add to the rich soundscape. The event is held at the Wengen community hall (Turnhalle) and starts at 20:30.

What to Expect

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with performers in traditional dress and an audience that includes both locals and guests. Between the songs, you might see demonstrations of flag throwing or hear the resonant tones of cowbells. The evening usually lasts a couple of hours, with a short interval where drinks or snacks can be purchased.

Insider Tips for Visitors

• Arrive a little early to get good seats, as seating is unreserved
• Bring some cash for refreshments during the interval
• If you don’t understand Swiss German, don’t worry — the music speaks for itself
• Consider taking a short evening stroll through the village before or after the event to enjoy Wengen’s peaceful autumn atmosphere

Combine with Other Activities in Wengen

During the day, take advantage of the autumn hiking trails to Wengernalp or Männlichen. The cooler October temperatures make for comfortable walking, and the changing foliage adds colour to the alpine scenery.
