The Rittner Sunnenseitn are an unmissable summer event on the Renon plateau, where tradition and modernity meet across three evenings celebrating local culture. Each evening, organized in different villages across the area, creates a magical atmosphere featuring live music performed by local bands, traditional culinary delights, and performances that captivate audiences of all ages. What makes this event UNIQUE compared to other local festivals is its inclusive philosophy and focus on community collaboration: farmers, merchants, artisans, and artists work together to create an authentic experience where every sector of the Renon community has a voice. Puppet shows and Goaslschnöller performances—the traditional whip-cracking choreography typical of South Tyrol—offer a genuine immersion into the region's most authentic cultural roots. The evening of August 6th in Auna di Sotto represents the highlight, celebrating this community identity with special recognition for local associations. Unlike generic events, the Rittner Sunnenseitn maintain a character deeply rooted in Alpine values: authenticity, genuine conviviality, and respect for traditions. Face painting and various entertainment ensure fun for the whole family, while the gastronomic offerings showcase local zero-kilometer products. An event where gastronomy, art, and conviviality blend in a welcoming and genuine atmosphere.
