Pelzmartiga di Kandersteg 🎭❄️

In the picturesque Alpine village of Kandersteg, Switzerland, the tradition of the Pelzmartiga comes to life, taking center stage in one of the oldest carnivals of the Bernese Oberland.
Covered in furs and grotesque masks, these winter spirits roam the streets, driving away the cold and the demons of the dark season.
Alongside them, symbolic figures such as the Old Man, the Hunter, and the elegant top-hat character evoke the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth.
An Alpine carnival of wild charm, where myth and tradition merge amid the snowy mountains. 🏔️✨
