Experience one of the finest traditional days on the Rittner Horn, which this year highlights the 5th South Tyrolean Weisenbläser Gathering (traditional brass bands). Following a solemn mountain mass at 11:00 AM at the Unterhorn wayside shrine, the alpine pastures transform into a unique open-air concert venue. Stroll from hut to hut, enjoy the sounds of traditional Tanzlmusig (folk music), and experience authentic South Tyrolean hospitality at the local alpine inns.

9:45 AM – 10:30 AM | Welcoming Melodies: The participating music groups set the musical tone for the festive day ahead.
11:00 AM | Mountain Mass: A solemn open air mass at the Unterhorn shrine, beautifully accompanied by the brass bands.
Afterwards | Traditional Melodies & Folk Music: Music, dancing, and culinary highlights throughout the Rittner Horn alpine area and directly at the mountain huts.
