Christmas Market Klausen

Christmas Village Klausen

28.11 - 23.12.2025

Nestled amidst a snowy mountain landscape, the quaint town of Klausen lies in the heart of South Tyrol. During Advent season, this town transforms into a magical gem, enchanting visitors from near and far. From 28 November to 23 December, the Christmas Village Klausen opens its gates every Friday to Sunday, as well as on 8, 22 and 23 December, from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm, inviting guests to experience one of the most atmospheric Christmas markets in South Tyrol.

A Christmas Market Straight Out of a Storybook
Deep-green fir trees and natural decorations transform Klausen’s old town into a truly festive scene, while twinkling lanterns illuminate the facades of its historic buildings.
The market stalls wind their way through the narrow alleyways and extend into the picturesque cellars of the old townhouses.
Here you’ll find real treasures: hand-turned wooden bowls, finely carved nativity figures, soft felt slippers, and countless products made from local herbs and exquisite honey – all lovingly handmade and a delight for both the eyes and the palate.

A sweet scent of Christmas fills the crisp winter air.
Visitors wrap their hands around a steaming mug of hot mulled wine and enjoy sweet and savoury delicacies that warm both body and soul.
Soft melodies of Christmas choirs and the deep, embracing tones of brass players fill the air, ensuring that the spirit of Christmas can be felt in every corner of the old town.

In the medieval town of Klausen, the rush of the season fades away – replaced by candlelight and the scent of Christmas.

The Christmas Village Klausen is much more than a Christmas market.
It’s a place where tradition comes alive – where craftsmanship, music, and the festive atmosphere blend into an authentic Advent experience.

Every weekend of Advent offers something new to discover: music, art, and special moments that capture the magic of Christmas.
In the alleys and cellars of the old town, artisans showcase their skills.
Here, metal is forged, wood is carved, wool is woven, and materials are shaped with patience and passion.
As evening falls, the night watchwoman walks through the narrow streets with her lantern, lighting hundreds of candles and bathing Klausen in a warm, gentle glow.

A highlight of the season is the Living Nativity, which brings the Christmas story to life – accompanied by music, shepherds, and donkeys.
In the craft workshop, children can get creative and make their own small Christmas keepsakes.

On 21 December, visitors can experience a truly special moment: the flight of Christmas Angel gliding above the church square.
Anyone not yet in the Christmas spirit will surely be after this unforgettable sight.
