Almabtrieb

The Almabtrieb normally takes place at the end of September when the cows and sheep are brought down from their mountain pastures for the winter spell.

They are decorated with colourful head dresses made from flowers and colourful streamers.

 

 

 

 

 

The farmers go up to the pastures the day before and prepare the headdresses (while at the same time having a celebration with their friends). The cows and sheep are then herded down the next day by the farmers and their helping hands and parade through the middle of the village on their way to their winter homes.

You will find farmers stalls in the middle of the village with home made cheeses, sausages, bread and other produces, together with traditional music and beer stalls to complete the celebrations.

A spectacular sight not to be missed !!!
