The South Tyrolean craft and handmade goods market in the heart of Schlanders
SelberGMOCHT — from the South Tyrolean dialect meaning "self-made" — is a market dedicated entirely to craftsmanship and handmade products, held in the pedestrian zone of Schlanders (Silandro), the main town of the Vinschgau Valley in the Autonomous Province of Bolzano/South Tyrol, Trentino-Alto Adige. Created to give visibility to local artisans and small-scale producers, it has quickly become one of the most anticipated events in the Vinschgau calendar.
For one full day, the pedestrian street of Schlanders transforms into a long trail of stalls: over 75 exhibitors from across South Tyrol are set up from Dammlplatz, through the pedestrian zone, to Sparkassenplatz. Visitors can stroll among the creations and meet the makers directly in a convivial, village-like atmosphere.
The selection is rich and varied, with a focus on quality and authenticity:
There is no shortage of food and wine: throughout the day, local restaurants and Simon's SMOKER offer dishes and specialties to accompany your market visit. Admission is free, and the event takes place regardless of weather conditions.
Schlanders is the administrative center of the Vinschgau Valley, a region known for its apple orchards, high-altitude trails, and farming traditions. The SelberGMOCHT market fits perfectly into this identity, highlighting the artisanal expertise and artistic crafts of the area. For those visiting South Tyrol, it is the ideal opportunity to take home a unique handmade piece and discover the authentic soul of the municipality of Schlanders.
The 2026 edition of SelberGMOCHT in Schlanders is scheduled for Saturday, August 29, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM.
