In the Gsiesertal Valley, in St. Magdalena – in the “Öbotol” – the traditional Kirschta (village festival) is celebrated in autumn. A special highlight is the “Original Öboltola Almabtrieb” on Saturday afternoon. Farmers, dressed in festive traditional clothing, bring their livestock – cows, sheep and goats – back down from the alpine pastures into the valley. The animals are beautifully decorated with flowers, wreaths and bells. The traditional cattle drive leads directly from the alpine pasture to the head of the valley and is accompanied by various performances by the Öbogsiesa Loudan. Traditional specialties and musical entertainment are guaranteed.
