Défilés de Krampus dans le Sud-Tyrol

For the fourth time, the Höllenschlucht Krampus Lana are organizing their popular “Night of Hell”, now well known beyond South Tyrol’s borders. On November 22, 2025, the area around the Lana sports zone will once again be transformed into a fiery spectacle. Starting at 5:00 PM, 34 Krampus groups from across the Alpine region will parade from Lana South’s industrial zone to the sports field, where a thrilling show awaits. Along the route, food and drink stands will offer refreshments, and many local associations will support the event, including emergency services, the Lana music band, and youth and cultural groups. The evening will continue with an Aftershow Party featuring three stages: live music by “Firedrops”, DJs in the main tent, and an outdoor Après-Ski area — something for everyone!

The Krampus Parade of the “Höllischen Pichl/Gsies” has long established itself as a true crowd-puller, captivating countless visitors from near and far every year. Terrifying masks, the ringing of heavy bells, and a thrilling atmosphere turn this event into a spine-chilling yet unforgettable experience as the Krampuses begin their impressive parade. Krampus groups from South Tyrol compete against each other for the title of the most frightening performance of the evening. An expert jury evaluates the dynamics, show factor, stage presence, and authenticity of the eerie figures. The parade starts at 7:00 pm, and along the route hot drinks ensure that guests stay cozy even on this frosty winter night. The evening culminates with the After-Show Party – featuring lively music and cheerful celebrations lasting late into the night.
