3. Tradition, culture and craft in South Tyrol
We tell you how we celebrate traditionally Christmas in South Tyrol.

The Thursday before the 1st Advent the five traditional South Tyrolean Christmas markets in Bolzano, Merano, Bressanone, Brunico and Vipiteno open.
Every Advent Sunday a candle is lit on the Advent wreath.

Around the 5th and 6th December there are a lot of Nicholas and Krampus parades in the whole region. The typical South Tyrolean visits at least one time a typical Christmas market.

During the Advent period we bake traditional cookies, like the famous and delicious “Vanillekipferl”.

There are also extraordinary celebrations in the churches:
Christmas fairs, Advent Sundays and celebrations of the birth of Christ.

On the 24th December, Christmas Eve, in the morning we decorate the Christmas tree and the whole house.

In South Tyrol traditionally we hand out the Christmas presents on Christmas Eve, under the candles of the Christmas tree.

The 25th and 26th December we meet our family and our relatives and stay together.

But Christmas doesn’t go by so quickly. The Christmas markets are open until the 6th January and offer a various program.
