In autumn, the South Tyrolean forests and the chestnut groves in Eisack Valley show their true colours, and the famous South Tyrolean apple and grape harvests begin.

Enjoy a long autumn walk and watch the cattle being led back down from the Alpine pastures into the valley. Enjoy the amazing atmosphere during the ceremonial driving down of the cattle from the mountain pastures to the valley and at the numerous autumn festivals in the historic centre of Brixen.

TIP: the Törggelen tradition, which involves a long walk with an en route stop at a tavern, is the established “fifth season” in South Tyrol.

Törggelen: A special culinary tradition in South Tyrol

Taverns and inns open their doors and pamper guests with home-made specialities. Try hearty home-made sausages with cabbage, “Erdäpflplattlan” (mini potato pancakes), mezzelune, various types of dumpling and “Keschtn” chestnuts. Dishes are served with the “new wine” and freshly pressed apple juice. The Törggelen tradition also includes a long walk through the South Tyrolean landscape and the chestnut groves.
