The Advent season in Zillertal is a time of unique beauty and charm.

Zillertal isn’t just a summer paradise; it’s equally enchanting in winter – especially during the Christmas season. Picture this: snow-covered landscapes sparkling in the sunlight, the scent of mulled wine in the air, and the crisp mountain breeze inviting you to take a slow, deep breath. This winter wonderland is just waiting to be explored. Imagine strolling through snow-dusted forests, carving down perfectly groomed ski slopes, or going on a thrilling tobogganing adventure. And as Christmas approaches, the atmosphere becomes magical – peaceful Christmas music, delicious biscuits, and a steaming mug of mulled wine await you.

Mayrhofen hosts a Christmas market on the four weekends leading up to Christmas. In 2024, this Christmas market in Zillertal celebrates its 13th annual edition. From the main street, you’ll take a short, romantic walk through the forest to reach the festive grounds, where log cabins invite you to browse, shop, and soak in the holiday spirit. You’ll find traditional Zillertal handicrafts on display, along with culinary delights – don’t miss the Zillertal fried dough pockets; they’re heavenly! The market also features local theatre performances and music by regional choirs and ensembles. Not to mention, children will be delighted by the chance to visit St. Nicholas, the Christmas bakery, and the petting zoo. A highlight is the hand-bound Advent wreath with an impressive 3.5-metre diameter.
