Tips & Advice
- Buy your Percorso dell'Albero ticket online or at the event ticket office, since the tree only shows its full shape from that paid path.
- Come on a holiday or the day before one to use the free shuttle; on other days, park in a free car park and walk in.
- On holidays and pre-holidays, visit the Christmas huts and Ghiaccio Park earlier, since both open in the morning instead of mid-afternoon on those days.
- Dress warmly, as the tree path opens in the evening along the old town walls above Lake Trasimeno in December.
- Allow some flexibility in bad weather, because opening hours for the tree path may change when conditions turn poor.
