Cultural events in Ahrntal valley and Sand in Taufers/Campo Tures

Tradition and culture are very important in the holiday area Ahrntal valley

Culture and traditions play an important role here. That is underlined by the many processions, festivals and celebrations held throughout the year, such as the tradition of bringing the cows back down into the valley at the end of the summer grazing season.

Transhumance in Rein in Taufers/Riva di Tures
Rein in Taufers celebrates the return of the animals and hendsmen with a big festival
Saint Catherine's market
Saint Catherine's market: a special occasion to enjoy country atmosphere! Socks, pants, sweatshirts, chicken, vegetables, shoes, lighters, sweaters, candy, sweets, needle & thread, slippers, garden tools, and so on: almost everything you want!
The Devils-Run
The stamping of hooves will send a cold shiver down your spine. A wild mob dressed up with furs, long coats and horns on their traditional masks (Lorfn) are on their way. The Devils outfits are impressive but the wooden masks are an art in their own right. In these often very heavy hand crafted wooden “Lorfn” much imaginative detail can be seen.

Together with rattling chains, deafening cows bells, fire spitting little devils and cheeky witches (Perchten) the spectacle and indeed the illusion is complete. The rite harks back to legend. One which tells the story of times of famine where young farmers, men from high up in the mountains dressed in animal furs and horns, went off on raids.

Advent in Taufers
Magic Christmas Forest by the waterfalls
In Bad Winkel begins the Christmas Trail to the waterfall with the illuminated cliffs of “Our Lord”. Small forest chalets cast their light onto the car-free Christmas Trail and welcome visitors for a break. Around every bend in the forest is a small forest animal - hand-carved from spruce wood. The Voppi Biker’s Club will by frying, sizzling and dishing up: for all those who wander past and marvel at the spectacle created by deafening masses of water and spray in light and shadow with every colour of the rainbow.
