Blending spectacular Alpine scenery with artisan traditions, this wonderful destination is inspiring for any craft enthusiast.

Join us here and explore the historical centre of the textile industry, St. Gallen, known for its high-quality linen, cotton weaving, and world-famous intricate lace and embroidery. Inspired by Turkish embroidery techniques in the 1700s, the town had 40,000 embroiders by the end of the century.

Whether you're creating your own textile masterpiece in expert-led workshops or admiring the work of local designers, our holidays offer a unique and culturally enriching crafting experience that celebrates this country’s rich artistic legacy.
