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.
