Alpine summer 2025 starts with a festival, music and workshops in SalzburgerLand!
The anticipation for the alpine summer in SalzburgerLand is growing: the official opening of the alpine summer will take place on June 15, 2025. This annual celebration in various regions is a proven highlight for locals and visitors alike. It begins after the cows, horses, sheep and goats have been raised on the alpine pastures and offers a diverse program that includes music, hiking and handmade products from the alpine pastures.
The event starts in Tiefbrunnau at the Laimermühle car park at 9 a.m. with a group hike to the Lärchenhütte on the Zwölferhorn. The official festival will be celebrated there at 11 a.m., under the direction of hut manager Martin Oberlohr. The supporting program includes musical performances and delicious alpine delicacies, offering visitors an unforgettable experience.
Cultural diversity and tradition
There are numerous events on the program during the Alpine summer. In addition to hikes and musical sounds, cultural readings and workshops are also offered. A particular focus is on the traditional crafts that are demonstrated on site, such as making Pinzgauer fences or spinning sheep's wool. The art of carving butter models, which is often passed down through generations, is also part of the opening festivities. These richly decorated butter models show the origin of the alpine butter and are a sign of regional identity.
This year, various opening festivals will be held throughout SalzburgerLand. A selection of the top events includes:
| region | Date | event |
|---|---|---|
| Pinzgau | June 21, 2025 | Stallion drive in Rauris |
| Pongau | July 1st to August 26th, 2025 | Alm:Classic in Bad Hofgastein |
| Pinzgau | July 11 to September 5, 2025 | Alm:Culture in Saalfelden Leogang |

| Flachgau | Buzzer | Holleralmen in the Fuschlsee region and Wolfgangsee region |
Another custom that is maintained during the Alpine summer is the traditional solstice fire on the summer solstice. Fires are lit on the mountain peaks in SalzburgerLand to drive away evil spirits and welcome summer.
The alpine summer in SalzburgerLand promises to be a festival for the senses in 2025 that is deeply anchored in the regional culture. The combination of traditional crafts, culinary delights and social gatherings creates a unique ambience for all guests.
