A unique experience for over 60 years

The tradition of the Elefantentreffen lives on after more than six decades and offers motorcycle enthusiasts an incomparable experience. The special atmosphere is created by the participants who travel from all corners of Europe and even beyond. A wide variety of languages can be heard around the campfires in the snow-covered valley basin, but there is nevertheless a peaceful understanding among all those present.

 

Unity in the “witches’ cauldron” of Loh

In the “witches’ cauldron” of Loh, it doesn’t matter what country you come from, what profession you pursue, what age you are or what kind of motorcycle you ride. Here, everyone is equal and celebrates together in harmony. The Elefantentreffen does not need marquees with live music or other animations, because the community and the cohesion among the bikers are in the foreground.
