When the Rauris Valley is bathed in warm light, the air is fragrant with fresh hay and farmer’s bread, and leaves rustle softly, a special time begins in SalzburgerLand: the Bauernherbst.
Here with us at Hotel Alpina Rauris, you can experience the Bauernherbst in Rauris up close – and enjoy the charm of genuine tradition, regional cuisine, and alpine joie de vivre. On Sunday, September 14, 2025, the Autumn Harvest Festival in the Rauris Valley will be celebrated in grand style.
What is Bauernherbst?
The Bauernherbst in SalzburgerLand is a series of events where customs, crafts, and rural culture take center stage. Between late August and late October, celebrations take place in many communities – and Rauris is one of the most beautiful places for it.
During your autumn holiday in the Rauris Valley, you can expect music, traditional costume, regional delicacies, and a loving look back at genuine country life.
Bauernherbst Highlights in Rauris
Almabtrieb Rauris
When autumn slowly descends into the valley and the golden sun makes the slopes of the Hohe Tauern National Park glow, it’s that time again in Rauris: The cows are coming home!
The Almabtrieb – or as we say here: the “Hoamfahrt” – is one of the most emotional and beautiful highlights in the rural calendar year.
Farmers’ Markets & Regional Products
Genuine craftsmanship. Pure ingredients. And a taste that evokes home.
In the Rauris Valley, regionality is not just emphasized – it is truly practiced. At the farmers’ markets in the region, you will find not only fresh produce directly from the producer, but also a piece of living tradition and a genuine feel for the rhythm of country life.
Folk Music & Traditional Evenings
When evening slowly falls over the Rauris Valley, the mountains are bathed in warm light, and the first notes of an accordion echo through the village – then it’s time for one of those special moments that you only experience here: folk music and living tradition in the heart of the Hohe Tauern National Park.
Experience Handicrafts Live
Woodturners, carvers, and craftsmen demonstrate traditional skills – many products you can take home directly as souvenirs.
Hiking in Autumn
When the larches in the Rauris Valley turn golden yellow, the air becomes clear and fresh, and your gaze sweeps over the majestic peaks of the Hohe Tauern – then one of the most beautiful times for hiking begins in Rauris: autumn.
Far from the summer hustle and bustle, nature in SalzburgerLand now shows its calmest and most colorful side.
An insider tip for all who love mountains – and appreciate tranquility.
