“Bauernherbst“meets Montana:Musica

The „Bauernherbst“ is the period when harvest festival is celebrated with specialties from the farmhouse and traditional festivities in the Salzburger Land.

After a busy summer the herdsmen and dairymaids return with their livestock from their alpine pastures down to the valley.

This time of the year has always been a time of celebration in the Gastein Valley with singing, laughing and dancing at social get togethers.

Explore one of the many inns and cafes of Bad Hofgastein.

While you can sample some of the mouthwatering regional specialties local music groups will entertain the guests and international festival participants.
