Alpine Cattle Drive Festival - September 14th, 2013
When the mountain summer is slowly coming to an end and the first leaves are turning, the cows are adorned and sent back to the valley. Decorating the cows is supposed to symbolise a trouble- and accident-free summer for the cows on the mountain pastures. This is celebrated on 14th September at the traditional Alpine cattle drive festival, a day when locals and visitors say farewell to the summer and welcome in the autumn.
