Trauffer World of Experiences – have fun exploring the art of woodcarving
- Hofstetten bei Brienz
Discover the history and traditional craftsmanship behind Trauffer wooden toys
The Trauffer World of Experiences in Hofstetten reveals the traditions of this handicraft. Individual tours invite you to discover woodcarving in a new way. Are you "cow-rageous" enough? If so, join a woodcarving course to learn the craft for yourself.
Big things await in little Hofstetten. As you enter the village, you are greeted by the world’s largest wooden Trauffer cow. Learn fascinating facts on the tour. Carve your own Trauffer cow or choose from an impressive range of products in the Trauffer shop. For the little ones, the open-air playground is the biggest highlight. Elsewhere, Rosa's bakery and bistro serves home-made specialities. For true gourmets, Alfred's Restaurant is a favourite for lovers of meat and Swiss cuisine. After a long and exciting day, a warm welcome awaits at the uniquely refined Bretterhotel.
Personal tip
"My kids enjoyed the tour of discovery. Our family room at the Bretterhotel came with a slide, which was a big hit, and the côte de boeuf at Alfred's Restaurant was absolutely delicious!"
