Experience rye tradition and culture at first hand

About rye

What saffron is for Mund, Heida for Visperterminen, so is rye for Erschmatt: a charactestic product that carries with it responsibilities. A visit to the Botanic Garden and the sights related to rye, using your own hands to knead, thresh and bake this grain’s unique bread as well as enjoying its specialties - this is worth a visit to Erschmatt.

Bread & Fire

We learn how Valais rye bread is made according to old traditions and, after a cosy snack with stories of old Valais legends, we can take home a home-made sourdough loaf from the wood-fired oven.

Bake rye bread the traditional Valais way

Bake rye bread in the old bakery - just like in your grandfather's day. You make and knead the dough and shape your own bread, which is then baked in the wood-fired oven and smells wonderful. A tour of the village, threshing in the barn and short films in the Hohe Spycher round off the group experience.
