On Sunday, 13 September 2026, the village of Tubre in Val Monastero (Taufers im M眉nstertal), located in South Tyrol (Alto Adige), hosts the traditional cattle descent from the Mitteralm alpine pasture (Malga Mitter). This ancient rite, locally known as 'Almabtrieb' or 'Abtratt', marks the end of the summer alpine grazing season and the return of shepherds and animals to the valley before the harsh autumn cold sets in at high altitudes. The parade is a colorful and traditional spectacle: the best dairy cows are beautifully decorated with garlands of fresh flowers as a special token of gratitude for their summer productivity. Upon arrival in the valley, the procession is welcomed with a lively festival, bringing together locals and tourists to celebrate the end of the summer season on the alpine farms.
