Our event tips
for Malbun and Liechtenstein
Carnival parade in Malbun
At carnival time, we have a lot of fun in Malbun. There is colorful hustle and bustle in our mountain valley at an altitude of 1600 m. Join us for Europe's highest carnival parade.
Bird of prey show in Malbun
Visitors will be amazed from mid-May to mid-October at the bird of prey shows at the Galina falconry in Malbun. The 45-minute shows take place at 3:00 pm from Wednesday to Sunday.
LGT Alpin-Marathon
Hundreds of runners are at the start of the LGT Alpin-Marathon in June. 1,870 meters of altitude difference have to be mastered on the route from Bendern via Steg to Malbun. Alternative disciplines are the Half Marathon Plus and a relay run. For runners and visitors we created a special offer.
Rock around Malbun
At the end of June, there is eager applause, singing and dancing at "Rock around Malbun", the ultimate oldies party in Liechtenstein for music enthusiasts.
Donkey festival in Malbun
At the beginning of August, donkeys, but also llamas and alpacas compete against each other in Malbun. The challenge is to master an obstacle course – but it is often not so easy for the companions to guide the unconventional animals. It's a lot of fun for the spectators!
The national holiday of Liechtenstein with fireworks on August 15.
Liechtenstein State Holiday with great fireworks on 15 August
The national holiday opens on the castle meadow in Vaduz and is then celebrated with an aperitif in the castle garden. This is the only day on which the castle garden is open to the public (admission ticket required). In the afternoon the big folk festival begins in the town of Vaduz and in the evening a big fireworks display delights the guests.
Liechtensteiner Weisenblasen
Folk music with an alpine panorama – that's what you experience at the "Weisenblasen" in August in Malbun. Folk music groups from Liechtenstein, Switzerland, and Austria send their tunes into the alpine sky. Open-air.
Cattle drive
When summer comes to an end, it's alpine descent time in Liechtenstein. The "Alpabfahrt" (alpine cattle drive) is a spectacle in itself: the cows with their cowbells draw attention to their hike from Alp Pradamee to Malbun and via Triesenberg to Vaduz, for example, and arrive there decorated with flowers.
Malbuner Summer-Chilbi with cow lottery
At the end of July young and old meet up at the Chilbi in Malbun. The Cow Lottery is legendary: Visitors can bet on which of the marked fields the cows do their business. Big and small guests have a lot of fun here.
