An old barn becomes the gateway to another world. In Guttannen, kriSTALL creates an experience that takes visitors deep inside the mountains – where crystals have grown in dark fissures for millions of years. From 23rd Mai 2026 on, kriSTALL opens its doors. Daily from 10 am to 6 pm

When you enter the Weibel Schiir, you lose all sense of space and time. The scent of wood, celestial sounds, shimmering light. Crystals grow out of the ground, glow under glass, appear and disappear again to the rhythm of light and sound – as if you were in a secret cave. It is an experience that touches all the senses – magical, quiet, impressive.

kriSTALL has intentionally not been designed as a traditional exhibition. There are no lengthy texts here, no dry explanations. Instead, there is poetry and sound, light and shadow. Stories are told through images, through sounds. You learn how crystals are formed. How mining in Guttannen once triggered a gold rush. How envy, misfortune and the forces of nature shaped the village. And how a family, the Rufibachs, gained a new piece of their identity with every rock face and every find – right up to the tragedy that changed everything in 1971. kriSTALL brings these stories to life. Visitors learn about emotional fortunes, soak up the spirit of centuries-old tradition and experience how beauty, risk and history merge in glittering stones.

The experience is as unique as the stones themselves. kriSTALL is intended to move visitors. You will leave a different person than when you entered it. It illuminates, it chimes, it brings the mountain to life.
