Overview Brixentaler Bergleuchten

The "Brixentaler Bergleuchten" is a traditional way of celebrating summer in the towns of Hopfgarten, Itter, Kirchberg in Tirol, Brixen im Thale and Westendorf: Thousands of burning torches light up the night and the surrounding mountains. As dusk falls, spectators are treated to a fascinating spectacle: over 50,000 torches form impressive fire images on the mountain slopes of the Brixental Valley. In the evening, these works of art are lit by local associations and transform the valley and mountains into a sparkling starry sky. At around 9.30 pm, the local clubs light their symbols.

The “Brixentaler Bergleuchten” is a traditional summer celebration in the villages of Kirchberg in Tirol, Brixen im Thale, Westendorf, Hopfgarten and Itter: thousands of burning torches light up the night and the surrounding mountains. When dusk falls in Brixental Valley, the spectators are treated to a blazing spectacle: on the mountain slopes of Brixental Valley, over 50,000 torches form impressive fire images, such as the music lyre, ski racers or scythe and rake of our farmers. The “Bergleuchten” enchants locals and guests every year anew, when the associations, innkeepers and institutions from Brixental attach their symbols, coats of arms and lettering to the freshly mown “natural canvases”. In the evening, the works of art are ignited and transform the valley and the mountains into a flickering starry sky. Tip: the spectacular fire pictures can also be easily seen from a car driving from Westendorf via Brixen to Kirchberg. Please note: This event only takes place in good weather!
