Overview Brixentaler Bergleuchten
Events and evening trips
Every year in summer, when it gets dark, more than 50,000 torches are lit on the slopes above Brixen im Thale, Westendorf and Hopfgarten. The fire pictures are impressive and magically attract visitors and locals alike.
Clubs, farmers and restaurants design the pictures with great care. The motifs are created on freshly mown mountain hillsides. They show skiers, musical instruments, Tyrolean coats of arms or agricultural symbols such as scythes and rakes.
Evening operation of the mountain railways
On the evening of the event, several cable cars operate in Brixental Valley. This way you can get to the viewpoints without having to hike long distances. Ideal for families, seniors or anyone who wants to enjoy the experience in a more relaxed way.
