During Advent in Bolzano, the historic centre is illuminated by festive lights: The classic Christmas market on Waltherplatz welcomes you to savour fragrant mulled wine, crunchy Christmas pastries, freshly made dumplings, and local delicacies. South Tyrolean culinary treasures such as warm Schlutzkrapfen (stuffed pasta), apple strudel, and exquisite wines bring genuine Christmas spirit to the charming arcades and inviting market stalls.
Just a short stroll away, you can board the cable car to reach the sunny Ritten plateau. The historic Ritten Christmas train carries you through a winter landscape – past snow-blanketed meadows and stunning views of the Dolomites. At the summit, small, traditional Christmas markets in Oberbozen and Klobenstein welcome you to enjoy their cosy ambiance, regional treats, and the peaceful splendour of the South Tyrolean mountains.
