Event "Berge in Flammen" - Mountains in Flames

Sa., 15.08.2026 from 17:00 o'clock

When summer in the Ausseerland region shows its most beautiful side, every year in August, the mountains around Altaussee shine in an impressive sea of lights. The traditional "Berge in Flammen" event is celebrated as one of the absolute highlights of the season.

The mountain scenery of Altaussee in a radiant sea of lights

An unforgettable experience that perfectly captures the magic of alpine summer nights in Altaussee. Mountains in flames is not just a visual highlight, but also a social celebration accompanied by atmospheric music and culinary delights .

With admission starting at 5:00 p.m., the musical introduction begins with local musicians. Meanwhile, guests can enjoy various delicacies in the cozy atmosphere. As the evening slowly sets in, numerous lights are illuminated for this popular summer festival, brightening the lakeshore of the picturesque Altausseer See, as well as the ridge of the Altausseer Hausberg Loser and the impressive Trisselwand. The musical highlight is the performance by the band Mystic Alpin with Fred Jaklitsch and his musicians.

The subsequent highlight is the breathtaking Bengal fire on the Loser and the Trisselwand, which showcases the uniqueness of the Loser crown and the imposing Trisselwand. This illuminated play of lights in the alpine backdrop of Altaussee offers a fascinating spectacle that attracts numerous visitors to the Ausseerland every year. 


Mystic Alpin as the musical highlight

Austrian music productions should, according to Mystic Alpin be distinctive, simply sound Austrian, not clichéd, but authentic. The musical tradition of this country, especially of Styria, is strong and alive enough to publish creative projects that take all this into account, committed to tradition and innovative, to present this heritage to younger generations in a contemporary way. With respect for the essence of folk music, Mystic Alpin presents a concert visually and acoustically up to date in 2026.
