Lonely Planet review for Fasnachthaus
Every four years, Imst plays host to a Shrovetide festival, the Schemenlaufen (ghost dance); the next takes place on the 15 February 2009. The highlight is the vibrant parade of ghost-like characters, from hunchback Hexen (witches) to impish Spritzer that squirt water at spectators. To learn more about this age-old tradition, visit the Fasnachthaus, which exhibits many of the handcarved ghost masks.
