The Magic of Christmas in South Tyrol, Not Just Markets!

Here you can spend your free time and upcoming holidays by enjoying a wide range of activities: museums, castles, architecture, shopping, and gourmet or traditional culinary experiences, and much more…

For those seeking something different from the enchanting atmosphere of lights and traditions of decorated cities and Christmas markets, a short cable car ride will take you to the peaceful silence of the snow-covered mountains. Up there, you can ski on perfect slopes or enjoy a hike through the winter landscape. At the top of Plan de Corones, for example, two museums await you: the Messner Mountain Museum Corones, a gem of modern architecture dedicated to traditional mountaineering, and the Lumen, the mountain photography museum. Just a few minutes’ walk from the pedestrian area of Vipiteno, instead, you can take the cable car up to the top of Monte Cavallo for a truly unique adventure: Italy’s longest snow-covered and illuminated toboggan run. For those looking for relaxation, we recommend the always very popular Terme di Merano. The modern glass structure of the thermal baths in the city center houses 25 indoor and outdoor pools and a 2,200 sqm sauna area, where the pleasure of immersing yourself in this wellness oasis has remained unchanged since the days of Empress Sissi!

From late November to early January Bressanone presents a new light musical show in the evocative setting of the Hofburg: “Liora. The Preciousness of the Moment” is the name of this new and exciting winter fairy tale. Let yourself be enchanted by projections of lights, music and live performances!

As you can see, Advent in South Tyrol also offers many contemplative aspects…
