After five years working on Alp Klosterberg, host and alpine dairyman Olivia Broder is stepping down from her role, as reported. Broder, alongside her family and support team, will mark her departure on Saturday, October 31, with a public celebration featuring live music and traditional food.
A Final Celebration on Alp Klosterberg
The closing event begins at 1:00 p.m. local time with performances by the Örgelibuebä, followed by music from the Echo vom Stöcklichrüz at 19:00 UTC+1. The menu features Broder’s homemade «Alpschwii-Voressen» alongside pork bratwurst served with onion sauce and spätzli.
Broder stated she chose to leave while operations are at their peak. Operating the alpine site involved organizing numerous events, from birthday parties to weddings, alongside a diverse musical program spanning Ländler, Schlager, rock, and country genres.
Building a Community Destination
Visitor numbers grew steadily over the five-year tenure, driven by a straightforward and unpretentious approach to hospitality. Broder credited her parents, Priska and Werni, as well as her dedicated crew, noting that teamwork was essential to establishing the location as a popular regional excursion spot.
Beyond building the business, Broder formed lasting friendships through the venture and met her partner on the alp. She expressed gratitude to guests, her family, and her staff for their consistent support throughout her time on the mountain.
Farewell Gathering Takes Place on Alp Klosterberg
The farewell gathering takes place on Saturday, October 31, on Alp Klosterberg in Gommiswald. Entertainment runs through the afternoon and evening, offering visitors a final opportunity to visit the venue under Broder’s management.
