Feistä Frontag - Tschäggättu Loif
Overview
Intro
Feistä Frontag - Tschäggättu Loif
The Tschäggättu-Loif is a rustic custom that is deeply rooted in the traditions of the Lötschental. Every year on Feisten Frontag, the Tschäggättä parade through the snow-covered villages wearing wild larvae (wooden masks), animal skins and ringing bells. With their rustic costumes (wooden masks) and the loud clanging of the bells, the Tschäggättä leave a lasting impression on locals and visitors alike and keep the valley's living tradition alive. The Tschäggättä walk through the villages of the valley as far as Ferden.
The spectacle is accompanied by the Guggenmusik "Wäschgärra", which plays small concerts in every village, thus underlining the festive atmosphere of the traditional celebration.
Food and drink are also well catered for: various food stalls invite you to linger and offer a varied selection of regional specialties, hearty snacks and sweet treats. Whether it's a quick snack in between meals or a social gathering with friends - everyone will find something to suit their taste here.
We are already looking forward to welcoming you to the lively tradition of the Lötschental at the Tschäggättä-Loif in February 2026.
