Traditions in South Tyrol

If your reserve your winter holidays South Tyrol around December 6th, you can bump into "Krampuses". Even if their look is scary because of horrible masks, rough fur coats, big sticks and fearful cries, they are nothing but normal people masked, honouring Saint Nicholas tradition. These "devils" have fun at blowing with their sticks to cars and to scare people, because they symbolize the forces of winter and darkness. The city of Bruneck has its own particular Krampus parade, which take place on carriages. Your winter holidays South Tyrol will be appreciated also by children, when Saint Nicholas arrives, after having scolded the Krampuses, will give sweets to all good children!
