Event Fisser Blochziehen

Fiss, on 25. Jan 2026

Never heard of the "Bloch"? This is the 35-metre-long Swiss stone pine trunk that the Fasnacht locals in Fiss laboriously drag out of the village so that spring can return.

We recommend because

At the Fisser Blochziehen, spectators can witness the ambition and physical commitment of the people of Fiss to their carnival tradition. In addition to the arduous "Blochziehen", in which only physically fit men from Fiss are allowed to take part, the acrobatic skills of the so-called "Bajatzl", who jumps over roofs as a jester and gets up to all kinds of mischief, are also impressive. The rooster or "Giggeler", a symbol of fertility that can only be embodied by an unmarried man, also spreads a cheerful atmosphere.
