Zermatt: "Fire & Flame" Survival Course

Light your own campfire! Learn traditional fire-making techniques without modern aids in Zermatt's mountain landscape – a real adventure for young and old alike!
Welcome to your outdoor adventure in the heart of Zermatt's mountain landscape!

This 4-hour course combines genuine bushcraft skills with the cozy romance of a campfire – perfect for families, children and nature-loving adults.
Your experience begins with a brief introduction to the most important safety rules when handling fire.

Then we’ll turn into real trackers: Together, we’ll roam through the forest to find the best natural materials and the perfect tinder for lighting a fire.
The second part of the course is where things get exciting: You'll learn how to strike sparks using only a fire steel, without any matches or a lighter. Each participant will build their own small tinder nest.
We will then set up the barbecue area and light the big main fire together.
Once the embers are perfect, the adventure moves to the outdoor kitchen. We carve our own grilling sticks out of wood and cook sausages over the open fire. To go along with it, there will be a delicious Alpine punch straight from the grill grate.
For a sweet finale, we roast marshmallows before safely extinguishing the fire and bringing the adventure to a cozy close.
