Romantic Advent markets, festive events, traditional crafts, and regional delicacies invite you to explore and enjoy. Amid lovingly decorated huts, regional arts and crafts, and the scent of homemade punch, Advent in Gmunden is a delightful experience. As you take a leisurely stroll through the downtown area, you’ll encounter atmospheric squares, the sounds of Christmas, and numerous opportunities to discover special gifts from the region—from fine fashion and handmade accessories to culinary treasures. The offerings are complemented by atmospheric boat rides on Lake Traunsee, Advent tours through the old town, the illuminated Traunsee tram, alpaca hikes, the “Glut & Eisen” demonstration blacksmith shop, and a creative workshop right in the heart of downtown. A very special highlight is the “Magic of Lights” at the treetop trail: High up on the Grünberg, light installations transform the treetops into a magically glowing winter wonderland. The Grünberg Railway takes you up there in comfort—wide-eyed wonder is guaranteed for guests of all ages. Our tip: Experience the magic of the Christmas season on a free Advent guided tour through the picturesque old town of Gmunden and the Ort Lake Castle.
