The traditional downhill run with the crowning of the Alpine Queen and traditional country music is a highlight.
When the alpine summer comes to an end, the farmers lead their cattle back down into the valley. Every year, many enthusiastic spectators marvel at the traditionally decorated cows, which make the long journey to Blatten.
