Traditions that are passed down orally, social customs and celebrations, linguistic diversity and traditional handicraft techniques are all part of our stock of intangible cultural assets. The Ahrntal Valley and Sand in Taufers are distinguished by their very own Teldra dialect, which is only spoken in this form here. As far as handicrafts are concerned, the production of cheese and especially grey cheesehave a long history here. As do lace making and wood carving. The locals have always lived in harmony with nature. Livestock such as cattle and sheep spend the summer months on the alpine pastures and their return to the valley in autumn is celebrated during the Kiehkemma (cattle drive). The knowledge gained over the centuries about uses for local herbs, both for culinary and health purposes, has been carefully preserved. And consciously handed down to the next generations.
