Get in the Christmas spirit:
Stroll through the Salzkammergut Christmas Markets

The Salzkammergut is known for its numerous and characterful Christmas markets, which often take place in historic settings such as old cloisters or under thousand-year-old lime trees. Visitors can experience traditional events such as shepherds' games, Krampus runs, and horse-drawn sleigh rides. One of the most beautiful Advent and Christmas markets is the "Gosau Mountain Christmas" (Gosauer Bergweihnacht)...

Visit the "Gosauer Bergweihnach" (Christmas market) for its unique, atmospheric atmosphere in a winter wonderland amidst tall trees and (often) snow-covered landscape. It is considered one of the most atmospheric Christmas markets in Upper Austria and offers a special experience away from the hustle and bustle of larger cities.
Winter scenery

The mountain Christmas takes place in a magical natural setting, surrounded by tall trees, which creates a special winter atmosphere. It is known for its unique and atmospheric atmosphere, which makes it an unforgettable experience. The location in the middle of nature, mostly with snow, makes it a magical place. Mountain Christmas offers a quieter and more traditional Christmas experience, away from the big markets.
