Funk Town is not a folk festival, not a club - it's live, real, loud. Two days of music in the open air, with real bands on two stages, in a place where orders used to be given and beats now rule.

The 3-Länder Enduro Race is pure Enduro racing: Varied and long trails form the perfect basis for three days of Enduro in a class of its own. At the Reschenpass in the border triangle of Austria, South Tyrol and Switzerland, there is an abundance of trails that - mainly due to their length - offer fun and challenge at the same time. Largely natural, the sometimes rooty, sometimes stony, sometimes flowing trails challenge the skills of the riders. From Nauders or Reschen, you usually take the lift to the trail entrance - but in keeping with the true Enduro philosophy, you also have to pedal the one or other hundred meters of altitude. The reward for this is twofold: a beautiful mountain world and the already mentioned routes of the 3-Länder Enduro Trails. And after training or at the end of the (racing) day, you meet at Nauders to chill and barbecue together.

The Sarner people – unique in character and language “Aa söü!” (ach so! - meaning “oh, really?”) is the Sarner way of expressing interest or wonder, and with this they usually evoke bewilderment and curiosity among outsiders. For a typical Sarner is inimitable. They are well-known throughout South Tyrol for their sharp wit, and their instinctive astuteness is celebrated in countless ‘Sarner jokes’. They love their valley and its cultural treasure trove. The Sarner dialect has survived in its original, distinctive form with melodious, sonorous endings, usually finishing with an ‘a’ or ‘aar’. The dialect is a much satirised characteristic beyond the valley’s borders and appears to others at the same time coarse and sublime. In addition, the vowel sounds and words vary considerably from place to place. Church-goers on the village squares of Sarnthein, Pens and Durnholz meet together after Sunday Mass and ‘hoangartn’, or ‘chat’. One of the best occasions to become familiar with the Sarner dialect is at South Tyrol’s best known and largest annual fair, the ‘Sarner Kirchtag’ which takes place each year on the first weekend in September.
