Walsertreffen - Walser meetings

Since 1962, the Walser are celebrating a great meeting every three years. Walser from all over to world come together in a Walser village. Up to 2000 men and women wearing their colourful costumes experience these meetings as highlights. Music-, singing- and local costume groups as well as bands contribute to a cheerful ambience outside and on the festive evening. A shared church service calls for prayer and reflection. A great pageant terminates the meeting.

The next 16th Walser meeting will be held in Triesenberg (Liechtenstein) in 2010.
