Merry Christmas: A Selection of Advent markets in Ski amadé
From Schladming to Gastein, the winter sports regions are also highly promising when it comes to Advent markets. They boast numerous thought-provoking Advent markets with plenty on offer for visitors. Here, you cannot only buy unique handicrafts and listen to traditional songs, but you can also just simply drink a mulled wine and sample some of the many culinary delights. So seriously, who does not enjoy doing this?
So, if you should need one more excursion between now and Christmas Eve or if you are simply looking for a place, where you can really start to get into the Christmas mood, then we have the following selection of Advent market tips for you:
The Licht Advent (The Advent of Light) in the Pongauer district of St.Johann welcomes its guests in its park, filled with Christmas lights, where you can drink mulled wine and punch and eat freshly made sweet or savoury donuts.
We especially recommend the homemade liquors, jams and pestos, as well as the hearty “Zwetschgenpofesen“, a sweet bread filled with plum jam, from the Genuss Spechts Günther Felber.
Besides the culinary treats, visitors can also enjoy some culture at the Advent of Light and can listen to various concerts and performances, and both traditional and alternative Christmas sounds.
From wind instruments and pastoral plays to folk and swing music – from traditional to modern, there is something for every music taste!
The gates to the Advent of Light are still open until the 23.12.2018, from Thursdays to Sundays (Thursday and Friday from 2pm to 8pm and Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holidays from 12pm to 8pm). There is no entry fee!

Cheerful and tranquilly presented is the Salzburger Mountain Advent in Grossarltal. The numerous quaint stands and huts in the lightly lit town centre offers all sorts of local delicacies, such as tasty meat pies with pickled cabbage, but also unique textile pieces, made from sustainable materials, such as fancy hats, woollen socks and gloves.
Once you have negotiated your way through the festive hustle and bustle, then you can make your way up to the nativity scene next to the Catholic Parish Church and enjoy the blaze of lights of Großarltal.
The Mountain Advent Grossarl still has its gates open until the 23.12. From Friday – Sunday 2 pm to 8 pm; Sundays and bank holidays from 1 pm to 8 pm. There is no entry fee!
