SEASON START
Die Saison hat gestartet, wir freuen uns auf neue Abenteuer!
Cuisine
Back to the origin,
and hence into the future.
Our cuisine is local and honest. We go back to the roots, our local specialties and traditions and create culinary inventions from it. We like to work closely with local producers and want to do our part in obtaining the cultural heritage of the alps. Strongly connected to our heritage are ingredients, which have the reputation of being poor people’s food and have fallen into oblivion. Some of these ingredients have celebrated a comeback, for example the Ribelmais (special type of ground maize) from the Rhine Valley with which we prepare our Bramata.
Experiencing culinary history.
The Aescher and the Wildkirchli with their caves are true treasure troves of fascinating history which we would like to share with you. With the Aescher Specials we have created food and drinks which turn this magical historical place into culinary delights.
History
Where hermits,
cavepeople and bears
once lived.
Our guesthouse upon the mountain has seen many a proud face after a steep ascent. The guesthouse in its present form has existed since 1860 and is one of the oldest mountain guesthouses in Switzerland.
In 1658, Priest Ulmann was the first hermit to live in the hermitage in the Wildkirchli.
Ever since, the place holds a fascination which has lasted through generations. Storys are told about small wild people which apparently used to live in in the Wildkirchcaves and helped the alpine dairy men. The Aescher has been a source of inspiration for poets and artists for centuries. Findings of stone tools and bones from cave bears show that the caves have been used as an ancient living space.
Events
Spectacular all around food & drink
Full of enthusiasm, we as a young company took on the "Aescher" challenge at the beginning of 2019. In spring 2020, our small building project was realised and we were able to open our Aescher shop and brand new toilets. For the season 2023 we plan small events, such as individual concerts, 1st August brunch, etc.
