Jahresmarkt Völs (Völs Annual Market)

The Annual Market of Völs am Schlern

The Jahresmarkt Völs, or the annual market of Völs am Schlern, is one of the traditional events that mark the summer in the Municipality of Völs am Schlern (Völs am Schlern), in the province of Bolzano, in the Trentino-Alto Adige region. For one day, the village center, nestled at the foot of the Schlern massif and just a stone's throw from the Alpe di Siusi, transforms into a large open-air market animated by farmers, traders, and visitors.

Stalls, Local Products, and Handicrafts

Along the streets and squares of the village, the stalls of farmers and merchants are lined up: local products, South Tyrolean gastronomic specialties, handicrafts, gift items, clothing, and all kinds of goods. The annual market preserves the character of traditional South Tyrolean Jahrmärkte—historical occasions for exchange and meeting between mountain communities—and remains an opportunity to shop, browse, and stroll among the stalls in the heart of the village.

Music in the Church Square and Village Square

The market day is accompanied by musical entertainment in the church square and the village square, giving the Jahresmarkt the convivial and festive tone typical of South Tyrolean village events. The combination of stalls, music, and strolling makes the event suitable for families, residents, and guests vacationing on the Schlern plateau.

An Appointment in the Heart of the Dolomites

Völs am Schlern is one of the gateways to the Alpe di Siusi and the Schlern-Rosengarten Nature Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The annual market is part of the village's summer calendar and represents an opportunity to experience the authenticity of a South Tyrolean mountain village, amidst tradition, local products, and community life. The event is organized by the Municipality of Völs am Schlern and takes place in the village center.
