Woldmanndli Parade
Event information
Description
Every Kilbi Saturday, dozens of “Woldmanndli” make their way down from the Gurschenwald to Andermatt. With the loud jingling of their bells and the blaring of their goat horns, the little forest men put on an impressive spectacle in the village. This traditional custom commemorates the workers and day laborers who once tended the Gurschenwald and protected it from unauthorized logging. The small protected forest above Andermatt has been maintained since 1397 and plays an important role in protecting the village from avalanches. In recent years, this old custom has regained significant importance and attracts numerous spectators. Starting at 8:00 p.m.: Music and dancing in various restaurants.
