From May to October, open-air mountain services are regularly held – primarily on the idyllic Bindalm and at the Hirschkaser above Ramsau.

The Bindalm

The traditional mountain service on the Bindalm is organized by the Kolping family of Berchtesgaden with its board and is one of the highlights of the association's life.
