Chalandamarz in La Punt

March 1st is Chalandamarz, the festival to drive out the winter. Dressed in bright blue frocks, boys and girls go from house to house singing traditional songs. Of course, the big cowbells, the "Plumpas", with which the children chase away the winter spirits in the best Schellenursli style, are also part of the procession. Spring could hardly get off to a better start. Chalandamarz is opened at 04.00 am with whip-cracking and the ringing of bells in the village. The procession starts at 06.00 on the village square in Chamues-ch. During the procession, the children collect money for the ballin (Chalandamarz ball) and sweets as snacks for the long day.

The parade passes through the following districts and streets: Suot Röven / Gulas / Chüderas / Curtins / Via Cumünela / Seglias / Arvins / Alvra Sur.
