The best at the end! On 13th April 2008, just before the last lifts close, there is an exciting and unique event you shouldn’t miss, called the „Låcknfescht“. It all started 20 years ago (in 1988) when some people from the Pusterer valley tried to cross a small pond of melt water in the “Seewiese” (lake meadow) on the Kronplatz mountain every year in spring. The big puddle has turned into a grand one – thanks to the water supply. Cars without tyres, marriage-beds, bath tubs, rockets, desks, deck chairs with parasols, compositions of tyres, people in uniforms or half-naked ones and lots of other “saucers” on which you can slide down the hill can be found at the festival. Besides there is great and groovy music, food and drink for everyone!
The highlight of the day is the Big Air Cool Water Jump Contest. Skiers and snowboarders risk acrobatic jumps into the freezing cold water of the „Låcke“.
