Together they create the encounters on the slopes and the evening programme. In Val Senales, the Krampus figures are called \u2018Tuifl\u2019, meaning devils.<\/p>\n<p>The local Krampus association was founded in 2015 and revived the custom in the valley. According to the press release, its origins go back more than 600 years. The figures are part of Alpine Advent traditions and are traditionally linked to celebrations honouring Saint Nicholas.<\/p>\n<p>The name Niederjoch Tuifl refers to Niederjoch, a mountain pass near the place where \u00d6tzi was found. The Copper Age mummy is closely associated with this mountain region. The group\u2019s name thus draws on a place in its own Alpine surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"jeg-vc-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_column jeg_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"jeg_wrapper wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Was_steckt_hinter_den_Krampusmasken\"><\/span>What goes into the Krampus masks?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Experienced carvers make the masks by hand, often using Swiss stone pine. It takes many hours to turn the wood into a face with sharp teeth, furrows and a grimace. Every mask is different.<\/p>\n<p>Large horns and fur costumes complete the figures. Heavy bells provide their distinctive sound and make the Krampus figures\u2019 movements audible. The effect comes from the interplay of carving, costume and noise.<\/p>\n<p>The faces are deliberately frightening. Look closely at the masks and you can also see the differences in craftsmanship: eyes, teeth and facial features give each figure its own expression.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"jeg-vc-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_column jeg_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"jeg_wrapper wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_right wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/krampus-schnalstal-holzmaske-andrea-nischler-scaled.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"Close-up of a Krampus mask with curved horns and sharp teeth against snowy mountains in Val Senales\" title=\"Krampus mask with horns against the snow-covered mountains of Val Senales\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/krampus-schnalstal-holzmaske-andrea-nischler-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/krampus-schnalstal-holzmaske-andrea-nischler-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/krampus-schnalstal-holzmaske-andrea-nischler-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/krampus-schnalstal-holzmaske-andrea-nischler-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/krampus-schnalstal-holzmaske-andrea-nischler-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/krampus-schnalstal-holzmaske-andrea-nischler-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/krampus-schnalstal-holzmaske-andrea-nischler-1140x641.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"jeg-vc-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_column jeg_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"jeg_wrapper wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Skibetrieb_im_Dezember_Ausbau_der_geoffneten_Pisten\"><\/span>Skiing in December: more slopes opening<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The winter season is already under way at Alpin Arena.
