Edition 2025 — Transhumance Festival

The 2025 edition of the Transhumance Festival took place on Saturday, October 18, on the Salto plateau, above San Genesio Atesino. As per tradition, local farmers and young agriculturalists led the return of the herds from Metzgersalten to the Thurner meadow, amidst flower crowns, bells, and a rustic celebration that continued until evening in the marquee.

The 2025 Transhumance Festival was held on Saturday, October 18, in San Genesio Atesino/Jenesien (Bolzano). The morning began at 10:00 AM with the departure from Salto (Metzgersalten) and the descent of the adorned herds along the larch plateau, with a stop at the sports field around 11:00 AM.

Around 1:00 PM, the procession reached the Thurner meadow, above the village, where the rustic festival took place with South Tyrolean gastronomic specialties. The day concluded from 8:00 PM with a party in the marquee accompanied by a DJ, in an autumn atmosphere typical of South Tyrol.
