At the 3rd Flax Brachete, the focus is on the joint processing of flax. Once again, we riffle, break, hackle, spin and celebrate a joyful festival.

On Saturday, October 11, 2025, the 3rd Flax-Brächete will take place in Val Müstair.

The Brächete is a custom that focuses on the collective processing of the flax harvest using traditional tools. This year in October, Val Müstair will once again be rippling, breaking, hackling and celebrating a joyful festival.

At the "Brächete", breakers use traditional tools to demonstrate the manual work that used to characterize local textile production. The tools come from the St. Johann monastery collection and have been specially restored for the occasion. Spinners spin the fibers into yarn on spinning wheels and the spun yarn is woven into fine linen fabrics in the Tessanda hand weaving mill. A small market with exquisite linen and flax products, delicious delicacies made from linseed and a small festival restaurant round off the offer.
