Romantic Advent Getaway in the Salzburg Alps

The Grossarl Mountain Advent is one of the most enchanting and traditional pre-Christmas markets in the Salzburg region. Here, Austrian holiday customs, alpine serenity and festive charm come together to create a magical experience that touches hearts – whether you're young or simply young at heart.

Wander through the snow-covered village of Grossarl, enjoy the beauty of Advent singing surrounded by mountain views, and join a peaceful torchlight walk through the winter forest. The scents of roasted apples, chestnuts and mulled wine fill the air – and suddenly, Christmas feels wonderfully close.

At Hotel Nesslerhof, your 5-star spa retreat in Austria, you’ll experience this Advent season with all your senses: relax in the spacious wellness area with heated outdoor pool and saunas, indulge in a gourmet dinner from our Raffinesse kitchen, and enjoy the luxury of stillness.

Tradition in Grossarltal

Experience unique traditions and customs at the Christmas market in Grossarl. The Advent season quietly creeps into the Grossarl Valley. The atmosphere that spreads through Grossarl in just a few days lends the mountain village a special charm. Baking is in full swing in the biscuit bakery and the Christkindl's little helpers have plenty to do in the Christkindl post office.
