South Tyrol, the Transhumance Festival

Transhumance is an ancestral practice in which agricultural activities are in tune with the rhythm of the seasons. In this touching festival, the inhabitants of the valleys welcome the return of the herds from higher summer pastures. At the end of September, before the arrival of the harsh mountain climate, the herds return to lower plains, to the barns that will shelter them for the winter.

The cows are adorned with bells and embroidered vestments and they are welcomed by both locals and visitors who gather on the sides of the road to see the herds and take part in the various events organized for the occasion. This is a fantastic way to allow local habits and traditions to live on in a festive atmosphere.
