Experience the traditional cattle drive 2024 in Söll am Wilden Kaiser up close, which this year offers a very special highlight: the 45th anniversary! In this video we accompany Hans and his team on their impressive journey from the Au-Niederalm to the Steintalhof - a festival of Tyrolean tradition that delights locals and guests alike every year. In this special anniversary year, we decided to choose the ribbons and roses in purple - a color full of meaning and symbolism. Purple stands for dignity, respect and spirituality and embodies the transition and the connection between old and new. This fits perfectly with the tradition of the cattle drive: the return of the cows and calves from the mountain marks the end of a successful alpine season and the beginning of a new phase in the valley. At the same time, purple symbolizes deep gratitude for nature, which has blessed us with its abundance, and the hope for a fruitful year ahead. This anniversary reminds us how closely we are interwoven with our homeland and its traditions - a connection that we would like to particularly emphasize this year with the powerful and festive color violet. What can you expect? Early start at the Au-Niederalm: The first rays of sunshine announce the departure. The cows and calves are ready to return to the valley - an exciting, colorful journey begins. Visit to the Stampfanger Chapel: Here the animals are decorated and spruced up. The magnificent headdress, decorated with flowers and ribbons, is a symbol of gratitude and a successful alpine season. Through the picturesque town of Söll: The festively decorated herd moves through the streets of Söll. Enthusiastic locals and visitors from all over the world line the path and let their cameras click. The atmosphere is unique - full of pride and joy! Reception at the AlpenSchlössl: The homecoming is celebrated! Music, dance and Tyrolean delicacies await you. Arrival at the Steintalhof: This is where the journey ends for Hans and his animals. The cows and calves come back safely and now spend the winter in the stable.
