The Trauffer World of Experience takes you on a journey through the world of Swiss craftsmanship and tradition. You can discover the fascinating history of Trauffer wooden toys and gain an insight into how they are made by hand. And you can also get creative yourself.
A tour of the Trauffer World of Experience begins on the 1st floor. You will pass through the following rooms and stations:
Guided tours of the Trauffer Holzfabrik next door are available for groups of 15 or more and last around an hour. Smaller groups can also come, but pay a flat rate. During the tour, you will gain an insight into the production process and learn how the various toys are made.
Groups of 15 people can book cow carving and painting courses at Trauffer. There is also a flat rate for smaller groups. A workshop lasts 1:30 hours and includes the carving and painting of a cow.
The Trauffer Erlebniswelt has two restaurants and the Raclette-Huusli. Marc A. Trauffer named the restaurants after his grandparents, who founded Trauffer Holzspielwaren AG in 1938.
Alfred's is an à la carte restaurant that uses regional products and promises quality. The restaurant, which is open daily, also has a charcoal grill. Table reservations are recommended.
Rosa's is a self-service bistro with its own bakery. In addition to indoor seating, there is also outdoor seating, conveniently right next to the children's playground.
The unheated Raclette-Huusli is an area designed by the Trauffer employees themselves and made from 100 old windows. There are two round raclette tables with a grill over an open fire in the middle. You can fry your bacon or sausage here and melt your own cheese.
The Bretterhotel is a cozy hotel with 31 rooms. (Almost) everything is made of wood. Five of these rooms have their own sauna right next to the bed. Other rooms have their own slides.
