Krampuskränzchen

What's it about?

The Krampuskränzchen in Gurten is a traditional Alpine custom that characterizes the pre-Christmas season. Krampus and Perchten are mythological figures from the Alpine region who make their appearance during the Rauhnächte and Advent season. The Kränzchen brings guests together to experience this lively tradition — with masks, costumes, and the playful energy of this custom. Whether wild or funny, dark or colorful, Krampus runs and Perchten events are a part of Austrian culture and offer an entertaining insight into local customs.
