The Alpfahrt is still an important day of celebration for farmers today. The cattle are ceremoniously driven down into the valley. And in Urnäsch there is the traditional farmers' market.

Experience an unforgettable spectacle that combines customs and tradition in an impressive way. Be inspired by the lively atmosphere of the large farmers' market, with over 50 stalls offering a variety of local products.

Younger visitors can look forward to exciting games and a petting zoo with cute animals. A special highlight for the whole family is the traditional pig race, which provides exciting moments at 11.00, 13.00 and 15.00.

The Buebechörli will provide the right entertainment with its music and round off the festival perfectly.

From 9.00 a.m. until after midday, you can greet the alpine dairymen and their herds in the village and be there up close when they proudly present their traditions. The farmers' market, centrally located on Kronenplatz, offers you the best view of the action.

Please note that one side of the Schwägalp - Urnäsch route will be closed from approx. 9.00 am to 1.00 pm.

We recommend that you enjoy a relaxed journey with the Appenzeller Bahnen. If you arrive by car, you will be guided to a parking lot on site. From the outside parking lots you can easily reach the farmers' market on foot or by shuttle bus.
