Advent
in the Salzkammergut
Salzkammergut Advent - Traditional, unique, genuine
In the picturesque villages and famous lakes of the Salzkammergut, the pre-Christmas season is celebrated according to old customs, with Advent markets full of charm and contemplation. The magically beautiful lakes and elegant magnificent buildings provide an enchanting backdrop for these atmospheric markets. Whether on the mountain, in a centuries-old cloister, under a thousand-year-old lime tree, in a pretty drinking hall or right by the lake – every Advent market in the Salzkammergut has its own magic. But all the locations have a common goal: to offer visitors an authentic, genuine and high-quality Advent experience. In the Salzkammergut, anticipation for the upcoming Christmas season grows in a cosy atmosphere, inspired by time-honoured customs and local traditions.
