Cattle Drive in Völs am Schlern

Just like every autumn, around 120 animals return from the Tuff Alm to Völs, and the cows in particular are beautifully and elaborately decorated. After the animals are blessed, the cattle drive is celebrated on the festival square in Völs. The farmwomen bake delicious doughnuts and “Tirtlen" for the visitors, and prepare a range of different drinks. The festival in Fiè, which also ushers in the cold season, is framed by performances of the “Goaslschnöller" (whip crackers) and various folk dance and Schuhplattler groups accompanied by harmonious music.
