Advent- und Weihnachtszeit in Tirol

Die Advents- und Weihnachtszeit in Tirol ist etwas ganz Besonderes. Tradition und Brauchtum stehen im Mittelpunkt, begleitet von kulinarischen Köstlichkeiten, die in dieser festlichen Jahreszeit besonders gut schmecken. Diese laden dazu ein, das Jahr bei einem genussvollen Winterurlaub in den Tiroler Bergen ausklingen zu lassen.

Im Zillertal erleben Sie die stimmungsvolle Zillertaler Weihnacht in Fügen. Ein Kurzurlaub im Winter mit Ausflügen zu den schönsten Weihnachtsmärkten Tirols – darunter der Rattenberger Advent in der kleinsten Stadt Österreichs und die Bergweihnacht in Innsbruck mit dem berühmten Weihnachtsmarkt in der Altstadt am Goldenen Dachl – macht die Weihnachtszeit unvergesslich.
