Tisner Jägerball

The Tesimo Hunters' Ball

The Tisner Jägerball is the annual ball hosted by the Tesimo hunting district (Jagdrevier Tisens), a convivial tradition deeply rooted in the community of this corner of the Merano region, in the province of Bolzano. Like many social gatherings in South Tyrol, the event stems from the strong bond between local associations and community life: every winter, the hunters' ball brings together members, families, and enthusiasts for an evening of celebration that blends tradition, music, and solidarity.

Where it takes place

The evening is held in the Vereinshaus "Kanonikus Michael Gamper" multi-purpose hall in Prissiano (Prissian), a village in the Municipality of Tesimo (Tisens), in the Trentino-Alto Adige region. Nestled among the vineyards and castles of the Tesimo-Prissiano area, the village is known for its traditional farmhouses, scenic trails, and the tranquil atmosphere of the South Tyrolean countryside.

Music and Atmosphere

The ball begins with a solemn performance by the Jagdhornbläser Tisens, a hunting horn ensemble whose melodies evoke ancient hunting traditions. This is followed by live music to keep guests dancing late into the night. The catering is carefully curated, offering plenty of opportunities to enjoy traditional local dishes in a festive, family-friendly setting.

The Grand Raffle

One of the most anticipated moments of the evening is the grand raffle, featuring prizes ranging from hunting invitations and permits to wellness vouchers and other awards donated by sponsors. The entry ticket includes a raffle coupon, and the proceeds support the hunting district's activities.

A Community Tradition

More than just a dance, the Tisner Jägerball is a meeting point for the community of Tesimo and neighboring towns, where hunting culture intertwines with local social life. For those visiting the Merano region in winter, it is a chance to discover an authentic South Tyrolean tradition, far from the typical tourist circuits.
