Autumn Highlight
Alpine cattle drives
in the region
Autumn brings golden colors—and the cows back down to the valley!
When colorfully decorated cows return home with magnificent “buschn” made of pine cones, flowers, ribbons, and bells, the valleys are transformed into a lively folk festival.
Why it's worth a visit:
Imagine a festival: cows with elaborate headdresses—accompanied by live music, traditional crafts, delicious highlights, and hearty delicacies.
Don't miss out on this autumn highlight – a trip to the Almabtrieb is an authentic, atmospheric experience and a real treat for the whole family.
