Event highlights in the fall

The sound of the Alps will resound particularly impressively on August 23 and 24, 2025, when national and international alphorn players meet on Flumserberg to make music together. The spectacle will be accompanied by numerous flag-wavers. A sonorous spectacle.

It is undoubtedly the highlight of the alpine summer. The alpine descents are a source of excitement for young and old alike when the decorated animals arrive in the villages. The one in Mels is the biggest in the region. But the alpine descents in Wangs and Flums also have a large fan base. A visit is always worthwhile.

The winegrowers of Jenins and the village associations invite you to the traditional autumn and wine festival from September 6 - 7, 2025. Celebrate fine wines and conviviality with food, drink and music.

Every weekend from April to October, a Maienfeld winegrower opens their doors from 11 am.

The best opportunity to unwind with a good glass of wine. Guided tours of the cellar and the opportunity to taste the latest wines are also available on request. Of course, there are also fine Grisons specialties such as salsiz, capuns or a fine cheese platter as well as homemade desserts.

From September 12-14, 2025, around 40 authors will meet at the unconventional literary festival "Die Rahmenhandlung" in Bad Ragaz and read in unusual locations throughout the village. As exciting and unusual as a bestseller.

On six weekends in September and October 2025 (from 11.00 a.m.), a winery in Fläsch will open its cellar doors for a cozy get-together and a tasting. This can be ideally combined with a walk through the colorful vines.

On September 28, 2025, everything revolves around award-winning alpine cheese. 30 different producers will face the critical jury and hope to win the coveted title.

A market with regional products, games for children and live music round off the tasty program. The alpine cheese award ceremony can be perfectly combined with the wide range of leisure activities on the Flumserberg. Be it on the FLOOMZER toboggan run or on the hiking trails and bike trails.

Thrills at the betting deskand muscle power with 1 horsepower await visitors to the Maienfeld / Bad Ragaz International Horse Race. On two race days (October 5 + 12, 2025), you can experience racing up close and marvel at the noble steeds on Switzerland's only natural racecourse. An experience for the whole family.

On October 19, 2025, the Alpchäsmarkt on Flumserberg will be a tasty event where you can sample a variety of cheeses. In the traditional cheese dairy, you can watch cheese being made in times gone by. And unique in Switzerland is the legendary cow race, in which only female jockeys are allowed to take part and you can place bets on the fastest cow. A real spectacle.
