Tips & Advice
- Book your Raclette Special or ice stock rink slot in advance, especially for weekend evenings, as they are popular and require pre-booking.
- Consider visiting on a weekday evening for a potentially less crowded experience, particularly if you wish to enjoy the Almhütte's atmosphere.
- Check the specific opening hours for November 23rd, as the event is closed on Totensonntag (Day of Mourning).
- Dress warmly, as the event is primarily outdoors, and the ice stock rink can be chilly even with the festive atmosphere.
- If you're looking for a unique group activity, the ice stock rink offers a fun and competitive way to enjoy the holiday season together.
