Event "Berge in Flammen" - Mountains in Flames

Sa., 15.08.2026 from 16:00 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.

A mountain backdrop in a sea of radiant lights

An unforgettable experience that perfectly captures the magic of the alpine summer nights in Altaussee: Berge in Flammen (Mountains in Flames) is not only a visual highlight but also a sociable festival accompanied by atmospheric music and culinary delights.

Starting in the afternoon, there will be activities for children and families, as well as musical entertainment provided by local musicians. As evening falls, numerous lights feature the popular summer festival that illuminate the shore of the picturesque Lake Altaussee, as well as the ridge of the Altausseer local mountain Loser and the impressive Trisselwand. The musical highlight will be a performance by the band Mystic Alpin, featuring Fred Jaklitsch and his musicians.

The highlight is the breathtaking Bengal fire on the mountains Loser and the Trisselwand, showcasing the uniqueness of the mount Loser crown and the imposing Trisselwand. This shimmering play of lights in the alpine backdrop of Altaussee offers a fascinating spectacle that attracts numerous visitors to the Ausseerland region each year. The summer highlight will conclude with a musical finale featuring a DJ at the nearby community center.

 

Mystic Alpin as a Musical Highlight

According to Mystic Alpin, Austrian music productions should be distinctive and sound unmistakably Austrian - not clichéd, but authentic. The musical tradition of this country, particularly in Styria, is strong and vibrant enough to support creative projects that honor this heritage while remaining innovativ - projects committed to tradition yet capable of presenting this legacy to younger generations in a contemporary way. With respect for the essence of folk music, Mystic Alpin 2026 presents a concert that is visually and acoustically cutting-edge.
