When the leaves slowly change color and the province of Salzburg shines in the most beautiful colors, it's time for the Pinzgau Farmers' Autumn, which has so much to offer:

Between tradition, customs and modernity, there are a variety of wonderful events and festivals here that are a special highlight for both guests and locals alike. People gather for the colourful Almabtrieb cattle drive, celebrate harvest festivals and attend contemplative mountain masses.
