Magical snow atmosphere, white pavement, mulled wine, punch..... Bad Hofgastein invites you to the Advent market. The shop windows are beautifully decorated, the smell of spices, lights, Austrian Christmas specialties are accompanied by live music and create the whole atmosphere of Christmas. Experience the true Alpine Christmas atmosphere for yourself.
The event is held annually. The dates for the next edition can be found at https://www.gastein.com/cz/udalosti/.
As every year, the Advent Market takes place at the Icelandic Horse Farm at the end of November. A live nativity scene, traditional crafts, food, drink, good cheer, the magical atmosphere of Christmas in the air.
Enjoy an advent evening on your holiday in Austria. The Gastein valley will definitely enchant you not only with fresh snow, modern ski slopes, the entire Ski Amadé area, but also with the possibility to relax in the Alpentherme thermal baths in Bad Hofgastein or the Felsentherme in Bad Gastein. When visiting pre-Christmas Austria, we definitely recommend a drive of about 1 hour from Bad Gastein to Salzburg, where the Krampuses pass through. In Bad Gastein you can also enjoy great slopes tailored to the skiing needs of beginners to advanced skiers. The Gastein valley belongs to the Ski Amadé ski areas - so you only need 1 ski pass and set off on an adventure to conquer the peaks of the Austrian Alps.
What's the advantage of going to Ski Amadé before Christmas?
- Cheaper accommodation
- Fresh snow
- Almost no skiers
- Pre-season prices in the Alps
