Music association Schröcken.
Harmony holds us together, harmony unites us.
Founded in 1962, the Musikverein Schröcken currently boasts a proud membership of 34 and plays a significant role in the social life of the village. Particularly noteworthy is the large number of young musicians who diligently and enthusiastically participate in the club's activities.
The association's traditional costume slightly differs from the Tannberg costume and is also seen among neighboring associations in Lech and the Kleinwalsertal. Musical highlights include the New Year's concert and summer concerts, which take place in various locations throughout Schröcken. These events are true highlights for both the eyes and ears, attracting numerous visitors.
Alphorn group Wartherhorn.
We are Walser.
The relatively young alphorn group "Wartherhorn," established in 2015, has already built an impressive repertoire of typical musical pieces. At various events, the 11 deeply rooted members showcase their talents while dressed in Tannberg attire, accompanied by their long alphorns. Their performances are a delight for both the eyes and ears, strengthening the cultural identity of the region.
Traditional costume associations & children's costume group.
Our trademark.
The Tannberg costume is proudly worn by the locals of the Walser communities of Warth, Schröcken, and Lech. Especially during church holidays, weddings, and baptisms, these costumes are a true visual highlight. They not only signify tradition but also tell stories about their wearers. For example, white socks worn by men indicate singlehood, while blue socks denote a married man.
The children's costume group.
When the children from Schröcken take the stage in their specially crafted mini costumes, cheers and applause are guaranteed. The children's costume group frequently performs alongside the Musikverein Schröcken, enriching the festive program at concerts, parades in the region, and the Warther Christmas market.
