Pre-Xmas Magic in South Tyrol

Brixen Christmas Market – Magical Lights and Baroque Charm

During Advent, Brixen’s Cathedral Square transforms into a sparkling Christmas village. Between the historic facades, countless lights shine while the scent of apple strudel and mulled wine drifts from the wooden stalls. A highlight is the light and music show in the courtyard of the Hofburg Palace – an enchanting blend of projections, melodies, and emotion. A stroll through the old town is well worth it – the magic of the pre-Christmas season glimmers everywhere.

Bruneck Christmas Market – Tradition Meets Joy of Life

In the heart of the Puster Valley, Bruneck welcomes you with an especially charming Christmas market. Around the Graben and the Town Hall Square, lovingly decorated stalls offer regional crafts, treats, and warming drinks. Particularly delightful: the ice rink in the center and the illuminated gates that bathe Bruneck in festive light. Here, Advent becomes a joyful experience – for young and old alike.

Sterzing Christmas Market – Atmospheric Magic at the Tower of Twelve

Few places are as atmospheric as Sterzing during Advent. The mighty Tower of Twelve watches over the small yet exquisite Christmas market, where local crafts, South Tyrolean specialties, and music create a truly unique ambiance. Between the warm glow of the lights and the sound of brass bands, you’ll feel transported to another time. Tip: be sure to try the hot apple punch – regional, sweet, and simply delicious!

Tearna Advent in Terenten – Christmas Magic Between Village and Forest

The Tearna Advent in Terenten is not an ordinary Christmas market – it’s a feast for the senses. From the festively decorated village center, a beautifully lit path leads into the Stockner Forest, where small huts, campfires, and lovingly crafted nativity scenes create a truly special atmosphere.
Children can bake cookies, visit the petting zoo, or listen to fairy tales by the fire. Along the way, regional delicacies, homemade mulled wine, and handcrafted gifts await. The Tearna Advent embodies tranquility, reflection, and genuine tradition – a hidden gem for those who prefer a quiet, authentic Advent experience.
