Alpenhof, Oberegg/AI

The Alpenhof is an inspiring location for a retreat and working, with opportunities for exchange and relaxation. Situated at 1,110 m.a.s.l. overlooking the Rhine Valley and Lake Constance, here landscape conjoins with lingering; the Alpstein mountains with a sea of fog; Eastern Switzerland with overseas; traditional Alpaufzug (procession of cows on mountain paths) with astronomy. The Alpenhof itself, with its rooms, grand halls, terraces, and the music room, is open to guests from far and wide, as well as all kinds of encounters. Depending on the bookings, the Alpenhof can be either busily lively or peacefully quiet.

The residency on-site is self-organized. For each recipient of a studio grant, there is a private bedroom available with an individual area for working. In addition, there is a shared studio/rehearsal room available, as well as different areas throughout the Alpenhof for working quietly. Further facilities include: dining and living rooms, and the Bibliothek Andreas Züst. Accommodations, meals and use of the studio are free-of-charge, and travel costs are also covered. A separate request can be made for an additional subsidy for living costs of up to CHF 500.
