The Berggasthaus Aescher in its present form has existed since 1860 and is one of the oldest mountain guesthouses in Switzerland. In 1658, Priest Ulmann was the first hermit to live in the hermitage in the Wildkirchli.

Ever since, the place holds a fascination which has lasted through generations. Stories are told about small wild people which apparently used to live in in the Wildkirchli Caves and helped the alpine dairy men. The Aescher has been a source of inspiration for poets and artists for centuries. Findings of stone tools and bones from cave bears show that the caves have been used as an ancient living space.

The Äscher is so charming that it also featured on the cover of the National Geographic “Places of a lifetime” compilation.
