Traditioneller Bartholomäusmarkt / St. Bartholomew's Market

St. Bartholomew's Market in Rasun-Anterselva

The Traditioneller Bartholomäusmarkt, or St. Bartholomew's Market, is one of the most cherished traditional events in the Antholz Valley, located in the municipality of Rasun-Anterselva (Rasen-Antholz) in the Puster Valley, South Tyrol. Dedicated to St. Bartholomew the Apostle, the market takes place in the Niederrasen recreational park, within the Dolomitenregion Kronplatz, and has long been a true hub for the local community.

Around thirty stalls featuring crafts and antiques

The charm of this market lies in its genuine, village atmosphere: about thirty stalls are scattered across the park's meadows, offering an assortment that ranges from carefully handmade crafts to flea market items and a small antique market. Between clothing, homemade products, and pre-loved treasures finding a new life, it is the perfect place to browse, hunt for unique finds, and soak up South Tyrolean traditions.

Gastronomy, music, and children's activities

The convivial spirit is a highlight: the day is accompanied by local culinary specialties—in the past, the market has hosted celebrations dedicated to mushrooms, polenta, and strudel—along with live music that creates a lively atmosphere and activities designed for children, including a trampoline that keeps them entertained all day long.

A sustainable event — GreenEvent certification

The Bartholomäusmarkt is a certified GreenEvent, an initiative by the provincial agency for the environment and climate protection that rewards events committed to sustainability. Organizers encourage visitors to reach the park via public transport, by bicycle, or on foot: trains depart every 30 minutes from the Olang (Valdaora) station, and the 431 bus line leads directly to the event area, with stops just a few meters from the entrance.
