Almabtrieb of the Kuppelwieser Alm

Almabtrieb Kuppelwieser Alm 2025

On Saturday, September 6, 2025, the Ultental Valley experienced the traditional cattle drive from the Kuppelwieser Alm. The cows, decorated with wreaths of branches and ornaments after a summer of grazing at high altitude, were led back to the valley, arriving at the Steinrast around 1:30 PM.

The procession was welcomed by the rhythmic cracking of whips from the Ultner Goaßlschnöller, who also managed the catering with valley specialties. The event was enlivened by live musical entertainment, in a day of celebration for the community of Ultimo/Ulten, in the province of Bolzano, and for the numerous guests who came to witness one of the most authentic traditions of South Tyrol.
