Description

"The mountain calls" for stone cutting and hiking, as well as diverse encounters with people and nature. Close to the sky at an altitude of 2000m between snow-capped mountains and rushing waterfalls, we chisel limestone, marble, and granite. Soapstone and alabaster are available for children. You will find time and peace for yourself in the seclusion of the mountains. The soothing and relaxing rhythm of pounding gives you a sense of timelessness, and so the rhythmic clanging of the irons and hammers becomes meditative music.... The encounter with the diverse nature of the mountains inspires you. Stone chipping is the ideal introduction to sculptural work. The stone offers you resistance, blocks quick solutions. Stone cutting is a creative process, destructive and liberating at the same time. Individual work from beginner to advanced.

Course fee: 
€ 320.00 for 6 days, including a flat rate for tools, transportation, and workspace setup; €450.00 for 10 days. Special rates for families available upon request. Discounted rates for students:  € 200.00 for 1 week, € 320.00 for 10 days.
A one-day course costs € 60.00; children € 30.00. Dates by arrangement.
Depending on the material and size, stone materials will be billed separately.

Soapstone carving for children on a donation basis between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.! In addition to the half-day course with instruction, there is also the option to continue working on the stone all day. This allows for longer hikes to be accommodated.
