Melodien der Berge (Melodies of the Mountains) is a popular German speaking television program broadcast by Bayerischer Rundfunk. The show features traditional culture with the presenter and guests often wearing tracht; each show includes volksmusik mixed with alpine landscape views of Upper Bavaria and Upper Austria alongside heartfelt stories from people in the various regions, as well as cuisine which usually features traditional dishes from the featured area. Melodien der Berge started in 1999 and is presented and produced by Michael Harles.

In the Autumn and Winter months the program is broadcast from an indoor cabin set referred to as 'Kaming'schichten' which features various music performances of the volksmusik genre. During the Christmas period, artists perform carol music and the set is decorated for the festive season.
