Events - Alpine festivals

Experience the "Züglete" at first hand. On this day, the farmers and their cows will move from the mountains through the promenade to the "Vorschess". The spectacle opens at around 9.30 a.m.

The Alpfahrt is still an important day of celebration for farmers today. The cattle are ceremoniously driven down into the valley. And in Urnäsch there is the traditional farmers' market.

This fair takes place every year on the Monday of the Federal Fast (Jeûne fédéral).

Die Ausstellung findet jeweils am Dienstag ab 9 Uhr auf der Brüelwiese direkt neben dem Kloster statt.

Attached to its traditions, the village of St-Cergue is passionate about perpetuating the authentic celebration of the désalpe, during which locals and visitors can enjoy watching the beautifully decorated herds as they pass by, browse round the market

"Désalpe" is the best-known of all traditional mountain festivities. After more than four months of grazing in alpine pastures, cows make their way down to the plain.
