🐑🏔️ Transhumance in the Schnalstal Valley – a living tradition

When the sheep return from their summer pastures to the Schnalstal Valley, a centuries-old tradition comes to life.🐑✨ Transhumance is much more than an impressive sheep drive – it is a living part of the region’s cultural heritage and history.

This year, the return of the flocks will once again be celebrated with traditional shepherds’ festivals featuring music, local specialities and genuine South Tyrolean hospitality. 🎶🍻

📍 Saturday, 12 September 2026 – Vernagt
From 11:00 am, shepherds and drovers will be welcomed at the lake with a large traditional festival. Enjoy traditional music and local specialities in a unique alpine setting.

📍 Sunday, 13 September 2026 – Kurzras
A traditional shepherds’ festival will already be underway from 11:00 am near the “Schofschoad” (collection point). The flock is expected to arrive in Kurzras between 3:00 and 4:00 pm.

Join us as thousands of sheep make their way back to the valley and experience one of Val Senales’ most fascinating living traditions!❤️
