Alpine Water Festival
Water characterizes the Klostertal - scenically, culturally and emotionally. At the Alpine Water Festival, everything revolves around water —
as a sensory experience in nature, a responsible source of energy, a subtle touch of luxury in culinary moments, and a bond that brings people and generations together.
The program is built on four pillars: Water.EXPERIENCE, Water.POWER, Water.ENJOYMENT, and Water.FAMILY – each offering new ways to connect with this vital element.
The Four Pillars of the Event
Event Overview
The Water.Festival is more than just a day trip — expanding your visit will be worth your while.
Our accommodations in the Klostertal Valley provide the perfect setting for exciting days surrounded by mountains, lakea, and meaningful encounters.
What to expect at the Festival
- During the festival weekend, everything revolves around the many facets of water. Under the four themes of Water.EXPERIENCE, Water.POWER, Water.ENJOYMENT, and Water.FAMILY, a varied program awaits you—from small moments of discovery to special experiences for young and old alike.
- Each themed speciality offers its own events and activities that make the element of water visible, tangible, and experiential in different ways.
- You can find all the details about the individual events in the respective categories below. This makes it easy for you to put together your own personal festival weekend.
Water.EXPERIENCE
Water.EXPERIENCE
Water is all around us here: as crystal-clear mountain lakes, rushing streams, or fine mist at waterfalls. It accompanies hikes, conversations, and quiet moments.
But water can also be experienced in motion. Whether high up in the alpine mountain air or with the wind at your back on a bike.
This is how an element becomes an experience—a pause, a breath of fresh air, a connection. With nature. With the place. With yourself.
Themed Events
Water.POWER
Water.POWER
Water is movement, change, and energy. Anyone walking through the valley can feel the power with which streams carve their way through the landscape and springs have been bubbling up from the ground for centuries.
The offerings in this area are aimed at people who understand this element as a living source of energy—and who also want to think about how to use it sustainably.
Themed Events
Water.ENJOYMENT
Water.ENJOYMENT
Events, that trigger all our senses.
Water and enjoyment go hand in hand in the Klostertal valley: whether in the kitchen, when eating together on the riverbank, or in conversation with producers. Here, enjoyment arises from the interplay of landscape, craftsmanship, and hospitality. Regional, authentic, refreshingly different.
Themed Events
Water.FAMILY
Water.FAMILY
The festival offers special experiences for all generations: playful, interactive, and with plenty of room for discovery.
Whether barefoot in the stream bed, at the water playground, or on guided family tours—this is where shared memories are created,
connecting visitors with nature, with each other, and with the place itself.
The valley's first water show ever!
The Highlight Water Show in Klostertal
As dusk falls on Saturday, 4 July 2026, a fascinating water screen will appear at the Almwasserpark – a fan-shaped mist of water onto which a high-resolution video projection is cast.
And you, right in the middle of it all!
