Almabtrieb & Harvest Festivals

Throughout autumn, the Schladming-Dachstein region celebrates the traditional 'Almabtrieb,' where decorated cattle are ceremoniously driven down from their summer pastures to the valleys. These events are accompanied by lively harvest festivals featuring local music, traditional costumes, craft markets, and culinary delights. They offer a deep insight into local culture and traditions, providing an authentic experience of Styrian rural life. Free to attend, typically in September and early October in various villages.
