The largest “Krampus” meeting takes place in Dobbiaco, Alta Pusteria. On 8 December 2023, around 6pm, around 600 South Tyrolean, Swiss, Austrian and German “Krampus” gather, parade through the town and on the central square showing off their masks and clothes in a small show. Throughout the Tyrol in San Nicolò, the Krampus, half-man, half-animal individuals, dressed in goat or sheep hair, with a wooden devil mask and large bells in their hands, come out of their homes to look for bad children. That’s what tradition wants. To date, the Krampus event is a real event for adults and children.
