The tradition of the markets is certainly born in the historical villages of Tyrol, and South Tyrol, where the harmony between the historical centers, the typical products, the musical tradition, and the folklore, has made this Christmas event famous.
It's a meeting place of celebration, both for the local community and for all tourists who love this magical atmosphere.
"It’s impossible not to feel a kid again when you walk through the decorated alleys, squares and groves. The sound of the flugelhorns that accompany the sip of a warm herbal tea or a glass of mulled wine, in front of a fireplace.
The tradition of the Christmas fairs in Tyrol and Trentino is alive and still offers a good craftsmanship and quality products, in a setting carefully designed in detail"
Lorenzo, Fabio and Paolo
Typical products, outdoor fireplaces, nativity scenes, handicrafts, Christmas sweets, musical fanfares, skating rinks, carriages, Christmas balls, candles and an infinite sparkle of Christmas lights, all in front of a cathedral, in the center of a square, in the alleys of a historic village, on the banks of an alpine lake, on the edge of the ski slopes.
This is the atmosphere that every year attracts many visitors to the Alps, especially in the valleys of Trentino, South Tyrol, and Tyrol.
Starting with the evening of December 5, with the parade of the Krampus and Saint Nicolas, then the days of the Immaculate Conception and the weeks of Christmas and New Year, the visit to the Christmas fairs can be combined with skiing at the beginning of the season, relaxation in the thermal baths of the Alps and tastings of local products and local cuisine.
Not to be missed for their size and a unique setting, are the Christmas fairs of Bolzano, in Whalterplatz near the cathedral, the fairs of Merano, along the river Passer, the fairs of Trento, in Piazza Cesare Battisti and the fairs of Innsbruck, in the streets of the old town.
