The summer solstice has a long tradition in Tyrol and is a true spectacle to behold. Fires are lit across the mountains to strengthen the power of the sun and keep evil away from man and beast.
The mountain ascent and descent is possible on the Hopfgarten, Söll, Scheffau and Ellmau cable cars. The Cable Car Experience Pass and Season Pass are valid at this evening!
The bonfires are lit around 9.00 pm!
