Mountain Christmas in Wolkenstein

Mountain Christmas brings the atmosphere of the ski slopes directly to the town center at the foot of the Sella group. Suspended overhead is a 350-meter-long light installation decorated with detailed miniature wooden cable car cabins. Visitors can stroll to the sounds of Christmas music while exploring stalls offering local handicrafts, mulled wine, and gingerbread.

Tips & Advice

  • Bring warm layers for an outdoor winter visit, as the market and its 350-meter light installation are in the town center.
  • Check the listed opening days before setting out, since Wolkenstein’s market operates on selected dates rather than daily throughout the season.
  • Plan food and drink visits through 20:00 on opening days; gastronomy stalls remain open later than the market hours shown.
  • Take a train to Bozen, Waidbruck, or Brixen and transfer to a bus into Val Gardena for a public-transport route.
  • Ask your participating accommodation about the Val Gardena Guest Pass, which includes public transport across South Tyrol.

Special Events & Promotions

  • The market opens on November 29.
  • The market has daytime opening hours on December 5–8; it opens later on the other listed dates.
