Appenberg – Hotel Village, Seminars & Events
Hotel Village, Seminars & Events
A Source of Inspiration and Enjoyment
A village for everyone. Seminar guests, coaches, holidaymakers and restaurant guests are all welcome. From private celebrations to corporate events, we host it all in an idyllic corner of the Emmental made for relaxing and enjoying.
The natural surroundings of the Appenberg invite seminar participants to brainstorm using all their senses. This is where ideas can take root. Working throughout the village—sometimes in the thinking studio, sometimes outside by the fire pit—will equip your team with new and enriching perspectives.
