The coming home of the cattle for winter in Stubai Valley is a reason for great celebrations. While the cattle is driven down to the valley, stalls are being set up in the streets of the villages, selling fresh farm produce.
Join the farmers and village people to celebrate the safe homecoming of the cows at this original folk festival, featuring live music, culinary delights and cows that are lavishly decked out in garlands of flowers and ribbons. The 2024 festival begins on September 14 in Fulpmes and Telfes: By 10:30am, farmers and herdsmen drive the cattle down to the valley from Schlickeralm and Fronebenalm Alpine Pastures. At 11:00am, the farmers’ market at the music pavilion in Fulpmes opens, selling refreshments and all sorts of Tirolean specialty dishes. The lovingly decorated cows are expected to arrive in the village by 12:30pm. Festivities in Telfes begin with a tiny market on the playground around 12:00 noon. The lovingly decorated cattle will arrive at about 3:00pm to the traditional sound of the „Stubaier Alphornbläser“ ensemble.
