we pull out our warm winter wear, the snow begins to fall, the air grows crisp, and we begin to think about cozy warm holidays spent with friends and family.
We at Alpen Schatz wish to bring the warmth of European old-fashioned cheer closer to your home with exciting new treasures, to enhance your holidays and ignite the spirit of Christmas in the way that it has been celebrated in Europe for centuries. Be sure to check out our new holiday items in our on-line

German Christmas Market ) found on our web-site...exciting new items such as our
Musical Heirloom Advent Calendars, featured below in this newsletter.
Recently celebrity Anchor man, Matt Lauer, presented a beautiful piece on Switzerland, encapsulating some of the most endearing cultural aspects of this breathtaking country nestled in the heart of the Alps...and indeed the core theme of Alpen Schatz. This segment of the Today Show was recently aired on National TV and was called:
" Where in the world is Matt? Standing on 'top of Europe' "
It is well worth viewing and be sure to scroll down to see all segments of the show, as each one brings out different cultural aspects of the Swiss Alps. While viewing, you will see: Matt wearing a hip Austrian
Eisbaer Hat - the very same Brand that Alpen Schatz carries in our store in Telluride, Colorado. You will also see the St. Bernard "Ast" sporting an
Alpine Keg and Swiss Cows wearing traditional
Cow Bells, similar to the ones that we offer. You will see famous rock climbers, Alpenorn players, and Swiss Yodelers, slightly less furry than our
Yodeling Marmots...but with a similar sound :)
