Here, the cattle drive is still celebrated in a truly traditional way – with decorated animals, traditional music, and local specialties.

In Val Casies Valley, in S. Maddalena, the traditional “Kirschta” (parish fair) is celebrated in autumn. A special highlight is the “Original Öbotola Almabtrieb” transhumance on Saturday afternoon. Farmers, dressed in festive traditional costumes, bring their cattle – cows, sheep, and goats – back down from the alpine pastures. The animals are beautifully decorated with flowers, garlands, and bells. At the head of the valley, in the festival tent, visitors can enjoy local dishes and live music .Programme: Saturday: 11:00 am: musical entertainment with the Villgrater Duo, 01:30 pm: “Original Öbotola Almabtrieb” transhumance, 05:00 pm: music with die Jung Haspinga, 07:00 pm: JBP Blasmusikpower (Jungböhmische Pichl), 11:00 pm: DJ Like in the festival tent.
