Christmas market in Großarl
Children will gaze in wonder at the living nativity scene in the center of Großarl. The hand-carved nativity figures are life-size. The animals, however, are real and tame. Children and adults can pet them.
The Christmas market is open from Friday to Sunday, 2–8 p.m., through December 23. The exhibition of handmade nativity scenes in Großarl is also well worth a visit. The nativity trail leads directly there from the Christmas market. The children’s shepherds’ play in Hüttschlag’s old forester’s house is also worth seeing.
The magic of a captivating torchlight walk conjures up the spirit of Advent. Romantic walks set off from Großarl every Friday before Christmas at around 4:30 p.m. On returning to the Advent market, you can warm up with a hot mulled wine.
Skiers and snowboarders are drawn to the slopes during the day anyway. The Großarltal is perfect for a ski holiday. The Großarl-Dorfgastein ski circuit offers 80 kilometers of slopes, ranging from easy to challenging. They are impeccably groomed. Beginners and experts alike will find ideal runs and modern ski lifts
