Golden Culinary Autumn: a feast for all the senses

The mountain forests are decking themselves in their most colourful festive costumes, the light is golden and a gentle silence reigns over everything – that means autumn is here. Thanks to the clear air, endless views, and reduced hustle and bustle, this is also the best time of the year for many holidaymakers. So let’s go for enjoyable hiking or biking in Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis! With emphasis on ‘enjoyable’. What could be better than hiking in the mountains on a mild autumn day or feeling the fresh air on your face while cycling? Fortunately, the three mountain villages of Serfaus, Fiss, and Ladis offer the right option for every guest, from gentle leisurely routes to more difficult summit tours. And of course, there's also options for families with children and pushchairs. In addition to all the action, guests and locals can also look forward to plenty of culinary, musical, and cultural events this autumn. Autumn could not be any more golden than here in the Upper Inntal valley in Tyrol! Here are the highlights of Culinary Autumn around Serfaus, Fiss, and Ladis, in chronological order:

12 to 14 September: 13^th Tractor and Classic Car Meeting
If you like old agricultural machinery, cars, and motorbikes, then set aside the weekend from 12 to 14 September. That's when the 13^th Tractor and Classic Car Meeting will be taking place, with participants from Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, the Netherlands, and Belgium. An experience packed with nostalgia!

6 September to 12 October: Kunst am Berg
Culture buffs can find their inspiration from 6 to 28 September. Not just anywhere, but high up on the Schönjoch ridge at 2,436 metres above sea level. At the unique event called Kunst am Berg, artists create their works live before the very eyes of the spectators – and these can also be purchased at a Finissage event on 28 September. And from 13 September to 12 October, there will be an exhibition of amateur artists around the BergDiamant panorama restaurant that is well worth a visit.

20 September: Almabtrieb – the summer retreat is over for the cows
The Almabtrieb in Fiss has a long tradition. This year, the colourfully decorated cows will return to the valley from the alpine pastures on 20 September. The Almabtrieb will be accompanied by the Fiss brass band. And as befits a mountain village, it will be duly celebrated.

1 to 10 October: Golden Fine Arts Festival
The Golden Fine Arts Festival will take place on six dates between 1 and 10 October in Serfaus and Fiss. The two weeks of enjoyment offer an enticing, unique combination of culinary specialities, art, and good music. There will be plenty of live bands playing – from the brass band to the jazz band – to ensure a great mood. The culinary delights taste twice as good here!

2 October: Farmers' market at the museum
Culture meets art and cuisine at the farmers' market at ‘s'Paules & Seppls Haus’, the oldest farm in Fiss, on 2 October. Visitors can expect to find handicrafts, farm produce and lively music.

10 to 12 October: KidVenture
The younger guests in Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis can also look forward to their own Culinary Autumn in the Tyrolean mountains. On the weekend of 10 to 12 October, KidVenture in Serfaus offers a colourful festival for children of all ages – with numerous fun and action stations at the Serfaus Puintbühne and a daily stage show at the bottom station in Serfaus.

Throughout the autumn: everything to do with potatoes
In September and October, the mountain villages of Serfaus, Fiss, and Ladis are all about potatoes. This is because they are a symbol of down-to-earthness, home and culinary diversity. Known as the ‘gold of the field’, the potato was once a staple food and is still an ingredient in many Tyrolean autumn dishes such as Gröstl, potato soup and potato goulash. So it's no surprise that the Culinary Autumn 2025 in Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis is dedicated to this versatile natural product.
