The summer solstice bonfires have a long-standing tradition in Tyrol and the Kitzbühel Alps and are a real spectacle.
Fires are lit on the top of the mountains to enforce the strength of the sun and drive evil spirits away from humans and animals.
The view right from the mountain tops is particularly breathtaking, revealing a completely unknown facet of the majestic mountain world of the Kitzbühel Alps in Tyrol.
TIP: the Gipfelalm restaurant at the top of the Hohe Salve is open!
(reservation recommended)
In good weather only!
