Events in summer
The cows’ return from Alpine pastures
Every year, the cows’ return from Alpine pastures transforms Gerlos into a vibrant sea of colour. The magnificently decorated cows parade through the streets, accompanied by traditional music and local festivities. It’s a special experience that emphasises the close connection between humans and nature and brings every visitor closer to the rich cultural heritage of the Zillertal.
Gauderfest in Zell am Ziller
Traditional costumes, strong Zillertal beer and folk sounds - the Gauderfest in Zell am Ziller is a festival of superlatives. Every spring, the valley blossoms in an exuberant festive mood, where young and old come together in a colourful frenzy of music, dancing and conviviality.
