Ever visited the St. Wolfgang Christmas Market? No? Then it's about time you did! The unique Advent market on Lake Wolfgang doesn't just get kids excited. If you are on winter holidays and want to explore and have fun then St. Wolfgangs Christmas Market is a must-visit market.

A visit to the St Wolfgang Christmas market gets even the biggest Scrooges into the Christmas spirit. At Advent, Lake Wolfgang transports you to a bygone age. All three Lake Wolfgang Advent villages exude the unique charm of this most wonderful time of the year.

St. Wolfgang Christmas Market

Experience Advent up-close. Each Lake Wolfgang Advent village has its own individual theme: The Baroque St. Gilgen Christmas Market stands out thanks to its Advent forest of carved bark trees. In Strobl, the Nativity Village gives the Advent market a special charm; and in St. Wolfgang, you can admire the floating lantern on the lake right outside the Hotel Im Weissen Rössl.

The villages, decorated for Advent, help create an atmospheric and enchanting atmosphere. At the Christmas or Christkindl market, you can pick up gifts large or small, made by local craftsmen. You're guaranteed an incredible Advent during your Austrian Christmas holiday at the Hotel Im Weissen Rössl, which lies just a few steps away from the Christmas market by Lake Wolfgang

When the lights go out...

Our top tip: "When the lights go out in the village". For a few hours, the electric lights go out all over the village, and St. Wolfgang is bathed in candlelight. Our guests can also avoid the crowds at weekends and visit the atmospheric Advent market when it is quieter.
