We are carrying out various remodelling and renovation work this year. Among other things, the beer garden will have a cellar. Therefore it will unfortunately be closed the whole summer. For all those interested, you can find regular updates on the progress of the work here.

After 25 years of peak operation, it is time to modernise the Trämlis building technology and make it more sustainable. The following work is scheduled for this year:

Fun Fact: As we would have disturbed the hibernation of our bear friends in winter, the work will be carried out over the summer.

Due to the hillside location and the difficult access to the beer garden, all the work had to be carried out from above. A concrete platform was first erected to give the crane a secure footing.

In the meantime, we have cleared the beer garden and prepared everything.

Three of our large umbrellas will continue to be used at the front of the Bäre Balkon. We have sold the remaining three.

Fun fact: the large wooden table in the centre of the beer garden has seen its best days and we are giving it to the bears to play with. It will be lifted from the beer garden into the Bärengraben by crane.

The photovoltaic system was commissioned in mid-February and covers around 10% of our electricity requirements on average.
