Edition 2025 — Almabtrieb Dobbiaco

The 2025 edition of the Almabtrieb of the Langalm and Flodige Alm pastures took place in late September in Dobbiaco, from 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM. About 200 cows returned from high-altitude pastures and paraded through the town center decorated with flower crowns and bells, in a procession accompanied by riders, whips, and vintage tractors, with culinary specialties and a final party at the Troger farm.

2025 Edition

In September 2025, the Almabtrieb of the Langalm and Flodige Alm pastures enlivened the center of Dobbiaco/Toblach, in the Upper Puster Valley, from 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Around 1:00 PM, the approximately 200 cows entered the town from Via Tiefen, continuing along Via Conte Künigl and the Parish Church Square to the Troger farm, in the direction of Santa Maria.

The most productive cows of the summer led the herd, adorned with large flower crowns and bells, accompanied by riders, farmers with traditional whips, and vintage tractors. The day concluded with a small party at the Troger farm, with music, dancing, and specialties of the Puster Valley farming cuisine. The event was part of the Autumn³Mountain (Herbst³Zeit) calendar of the Three Peaks.
