Tips & Advice

  • The Bergweihnacht runs on only four days across the first two Advent weekends, so pick your Saturday or Sunday early.
  • Drop the kids at the Dachsteinkönig's Christmas workshop in the Stadl so they can make presents while you browse the stalls.
  • Fit in a horse-drawn sleigh ride to the small farm, since the sleighs run on every day of the market.
  • Dress warmly, because the market is outdoors by a small lake below the Gosaukamm, around the open-air museum.
  • The 2026 program is still to come, so look for it closer to the first Advent weekend to see what's on each day.
