Advent in the Kaunertal

A winter wonderland for very special moments

A mountain Christmas, straight out of a fairy tale

Christmas comes to the Kaunertal each year - and always in its own very special way. People and nature alike settle into a quiet stillness. Mountain and valley are draped in soft white snow, sparkling under crystal-clear winter skies. Wrapped up warm, you'll wander from stand to stand at the Christmas market, steaming cup of mulled wine or punch in hand, and a generous portion of roasted chestnuts to keep you going. Could there be anything more beautiful?

Kaunertal Christmas market "Winterwundertal" 

Every Saturday throughout Advent, as well as Sunday, 28th December 2025, the romantic Advent market takes place on the village square in the heart of Feichten in the Kaunertal, from 16:00 to 21:00.

Highlights & special dates

  • 29 November 2025 - Opening of the Advent market with the blessing of the Advent wreath | 6 December 2025 - St. Nicholas parade

 Christmas market at Naturpark Kaunergrat

The festive spirit reaches all the way to Piller Sattel and the Gachenblick, home to the Kaunergrat Nature Park Museum and its very own Christmas market. The famous carol 'Silent Night', composed not too far from here, could not be more fitting for this truly magical place. If the stillness of winter speaks to your soul, this is the Christmas market for you.

On 6th, 7th, and 14th December 2025, the market comes alive with the sounds of choirs and musical groups filling the winter air with festive warmth. Discover handcrafted treasures and seasonal delicacies - and take your time, the market is open from 12:00 to 18:00.

Christmas carols at the Kaltenbrunn pilgrimage church

Maybe not quite so quiet, but just as contemplative is the traditional carolling in Kaltenbrunn. Well-known melodies will surely get even the most grumpy Scrooge to give into the festive spirit. The unique atmosphere in the pilgrimage church dedicated to the Assumption of Mary certainly helps. You'll want to be sure to put this heavenly concert on your agenda during your pre-Christmas visit to the Kaunertal.
