Alphorn group Wartherhorn.

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.
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.
