Tschäggättä / Fasnacht

Carnival program in Lötschental

What's going on at Lötschental Carnival can you find here.

During carnival week, "Tschäggätta" (frightful figures, clad in furs and wearing grotesque masks) liven up village life in the Lötschental. This pagan custom is practised from 3 February onwards in the Lötschental.
