On Saturday, September 27, 2025, the Almabtrieb Ridnaun took place in Masseria/Maiern, at the end of the Ridnaun Valley (municipality of Racines/Ratschings). About 2,000 sheep and a hundred cows adorned with fir-branch crowns, garlands, and cowbells descended from the pastures to the valley floor, welcomed by a grand rural festival with a market of local products, folk music, Goaslschnöller performances, and South Tyrolean culinary specialties.
