Cultural events in the Ahrntal Valley and Sand in Taufers

Where traditions are practised and culture celebrated

We are proud of the traditions that have been handed down to us and our centuries-old culture. For things that especially interest us, we like to get together for a party! Gregarious lovers of South Tyrolean cuisine come together at the Taufers Street Food Fair, during the Alpine Cattle Drive we celebrate a summer well spent on the alp with decorated cattle and traditional music, at the Wood Carving Symposium we highlight regional handicrafts, whilst the Cheese Festival brings epicureans together from near and far. Join in and feel the passion.

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

A romantic forest walk, gentle music, tasty snacks.

In the winter shimmer, passing by spruces and larches, spotting wooden forest animals here and there.
Gentle Christmas melodies, cheerful chatter, the rush of a waterfall, delicious treats at the forest huts.

And above it all, the head of Christ in the rock.

 

More details to follow shortly.
