Escape the bustling streets of Vienna and discover where Austrians celebrate Christmas — the enchanting villages surrounding Lake Wolfgang.

During Advent each year, locals leave the crowded city behind and journey to Lake Wolfgang, where Christmas is like a fairy tale. Each village offers its own unique charm:

In St. Gilgen, the market is illuminated with baroque lanterns, Mozart motifs, and sophisticated stalls.

In Strobl, the “Shepherds’ Advent” transports visitors into a nativity scene, complete with animals, rustic huts, and sparkling lights by the lake.

In St. Wolfgang, torches and lanterns light up the lake, while a giant floating Advent candle serves as the season’s symbol.

With a personal driver and private guide, visitors can take their time — pause for photos, enjoy mulled wine, savor local delicacies, and shop for distinctive handmade gifts. This is not the typical Hallstatt trip. It’s a more genuine holiday getaway, cherished by Austrians — and now available for you to experience.
