The best parties Castelrotto - Kastelruth

All children love San Nicolò who brings them presents. Not even afraid of the ugly Krampus!

In Castelrotto, the snow-covered mountains of Trentino-Alto Adige are the setting for a popular festival: the famous Saint Nicholas' Day costume parade, with the dreadful Krampus as a bonus! It's a bit like the local "Père Fouettard", dressed in animal skin, his emaciated face is surmounted by large horns. His disciples, wearing terrifying masks, wander alongside him in the streets of the village, torch in hand, to the sound of bells... in search of the bambini cattivi (wicked children).
