We only use Swiss meat for our dishes.

HistoryOur inn on the mountain has seen many proud, joyful and

overwhelmed faces, considering the glorious view up here. It has existed in its current form since 1860 and is one of the oldest

mountain inns of Switzerland. Pastor Ulmann was the first hermit to live in the Klause in Wildkirchli in 1658. More than 20 men followed his example until 1853 and shaped the history of the

Wildkirchli as hermits and first hosts.

Record from the Wildkirchli foreign book from 1795-1824:

How small the earth from the mountain seems to me, how small it may seem to the highest!

So nobody imagines anything big, live down there as brothers, little ones!

– Something interesting about the Aescher –

TransportEverything we offer on the Aescher has to get up here first.

Fortunately, that is a bit easier today than it used to be back in the days with a backpack and mule. Nevertheless, the entire logistics

is still a big challenge today. As we’re the only restaurant in the Alpstein, we don’t have our own transport track or access road.

We transport many goods with the Ebenalpbahn. There are three transport days per week on which we bring goods up the mountain. 800 kilograms or a pallet with 32 harasses can be transported per

trip. The cargo is then “lowered” above the Wildkirchli cave and from there transported with our “Hukis“ (tracked dumpers) to the

restaurant. Likewise, our empties and waste get back into the valley. Sometimes we also use a helicopter.

WaterWashing your hands in a mist of water or a vacuum flush as in an

airplane - these innovations in our sanitary facilities help us to use water sparingly, since we don’t get our water from a “normal”

water pipe, but from our own reservoir in the Wildkirchli cave. This reservoir is fed by rain that seeps into the ground and hence is

cleaned there. The reservoir holds up to 84000 liters of water, of which we use

about 3000 liters per day. Sure, the supply leads to problems during times of a drought.
