4. Tyrolean Highlandgames
16. & 17.07.2010 | Leutasch - Moos
There’s something for everyone!
Spectacular events for all spectators are guaranteed whenever the competitors go out to prove their strength…
In keeping with Scottish tradition, teams of men and women from all over Europe will arrive in Leutasch (Rödlach parking in Moos) dressed in kilts to compete in five unusual disciplines. Spectacular action for all spectators is guaranteed when the competitors show off their muscles in disciplines such as egg throwing, tug-of-war, tossing the caber, hill racing, and barrel-rolling. Little Highlanders can have a go at the sports in a special reserved area where the focus is not on winning, but rather fun, entertainment and taking part. The Tyrolean Scouts also offer additional exciting activities with the motto Adventure, Fun, and Experience.
