Description

In the Gsiesertal Valley, in St. Magdalena – in the “Öbotol” – the traditional Kirschta (village festival) is celebrated in autumn. A special highlight is the “Original Öbotola Almabtrieb” on Saturday afternoon. Farmers, dressed in festive traditional clothing, bring their livestock – cows, sheep and goats – back down from the alpine pastures into the valley. The animals are beautifully decorated with flowers, wreaths and bells.

Traditional specialties and musical entertainment are guaranteed.
