At the Salzburger Bergadvent in the Großarltal, you can look forward not only to a cozy Advent market around the life-sized carved village nativity scene in Großarl, but also to a fun kids' program and lots of unique activities like the Angel Post Office, the Waggerl-Stube, and feeding the wildlife at the Gasthof 'Talwirt'.

Bright children's eyes, sparkling snow, and a magical Advent atmosphere: at the Salzburg Mountain Advent in the Großarltal, there's a lot on offer especially for the little visitors. The idea is that for children, a visit to the Advent market should feel like a Christmas fairy tale. All over the market, there are exciting stations and plenty to discover. But the big highlight is the children's Advent area. Around the Großarl Music Pavilion, there’s a fairy-tale forest with animals, a campfire, a carousel, and much more. Discover the magic of the pre-Christmas season in the Großarltal with the whole family.
