Advent & Christmas Markets in the Region Seefeld

Seven Christmas markets have joined forces under the umbrella brand of "Advent in Tirol" to focus on authentic Tirolean customs, far removed from the hype and kitsch of commercial festive affairs.

As soon as the first snowflakes start to fall, little market stalls open their doors and hatches, while the scent of hot chestnuts, gingerbread and mulled wine swirls through the air, signalling the start of the magical season of Tirol’s Christmas markets.
One thing is particularly important to the seven markets that have joined forces under the banner of "Advent in Tirol" (Achensee, Hall in Tirol, Innsbruck, Kufstein, Rattenberg, Seefeld and St. Johann in Tirol): to focus on Tirolean customs and not on kitschy consumerism, which has nothing at all to do with true Christmas tradition. Bearing this in mind, the "Advent in Tirol" markets have committed themselves to uniform quality criteria, which range from the visual appearance of a market, to the assortment of sales stalls and the cultural supporting programme. Sustainability is another priority at the nine ”Advent in Tirol” markets, where every effort is made to avoid using plastic or other artificial materials. Prefabricated music is also taboo. The Advent period of quiet reflection is celebrated instead with traditional horn blowers and carol singers.
