Event highlights in the fall

Autumn traditions in Heidiland

In the fall, traditional events such as the popular Alpine descents, wine festivals, the Maienfeld / Bad Ragaz International Horse Race, the Alphorn Meeting on the Flumserberg and many more await you.

Alphorn meeting on the Flumserberg

Alphorn meeting

The sound of the Alps will ring out particularly impressively on August 29 and 30, 2026, when national and international alphorn players meet at Flumserberg to make music together. The spectacle will be accompanied by numerous flag throwers. A melodious spectacle.

More information will follow shortly.

Alpine descents

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.

Wine, mountains

Maienfeld Wine Festival

The Maienfeld winegrowers and village associations invite you to the traditional autumn and wine festival from September 4 to 6, 2026. The festival celebrates fine wines and conviviality with food, drink, and music.

Wii-kend Maienfeld

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.

Flying high in the fall

The mountain railroads take you up high until November. When you're sitting in the fog elsewhere, you can enjoy the sunshine in the holiday region Heidiland . An autumn just the way we like it.

Frame story

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.

Wine, village

Wine experience Fläsch

On six weekends in September and October 2026 (starting at 11:00 a.m.), a winery in Fläsch will open its cellar doors for a cozy get-together and tasting. This can be ideally combined with a walk through the colorful vineyards.
