Forge Your Own Adventure
Get your hands dirty, breathe mountain air, make something real
Look, we're not gonna lie - this isn't your typical hotel activity. Here at the forge, you'll actually learn to shape hot metal with your own two hands.
Our master blacksmith, who's been doing this for over 20 years, walks you through everything from firing up the forge to hammering out your first piece. Whether you're making a coat hook, a fire poker, or even a knife, you're leaving with something you built yourself. And yeah, there's something pretty incredible about that.
From quick intro sessions to full-day masterclasses
Never touched an anvil? Perfect. You'll learn the basics and craft a simple hook or bottle opener. Gets you hooked on the craft without being overwhelming.
This one's pretty special. Forge your own kitchen or outdoor knife from start to finish. Heat treating, grinding, the whole deal. It's intense but totally worth it.
For folks who've got some forge time under their belt. Learn twisting, scrolling, and traditional joinery techniques. Create something beautiful for your home.
Because you can't spend ALL day at the forge, right?
Our local guides know these mountains like the back of their hand. They'll take you to spots most tourists never see - alpine lakes, hidden viewpoints, the good stuff.
