Christmas in Tyrol
Festive idyll in a breathtaking winter landscape
The mountains are deeply covered in snow, the villages shine with festive lights, and the air is filled with the scent of mulled wine and freshly baked cookies. Here, in the midst of this fairytale setting, Posthotel Achenkirch beckons as the perfect retreat for anyone wishing to experience Christmas in a different way: far from the hustle and bustle, enriched with unforgettable impressions and genuine Tyrolean charm. Those seeking an unforgettable blend of nature, tradition, and exclusive relaxation will find their very own winter paradise here.
Experience tradition and customs
In Tyrol, the Advent season is celebrated with great devotion. Christmas markets offering handmade crafts, nativity scene exhibitions, and atmospheric concerts shape this festive period. In many towns and villages, squares glow with warm light, and the traditional Christkindl markets attract both locals and visitors. Alongside mulled wine and roasted almonds, visitors can enjoy Tyrolean specialties such as Kiachl and hearty Krapfen.
Nature shows itself from its most beautiful side at Christmas: snow-white peaks, deep blue lakes, and frost-covered forests. A horse-drawn sleigh ride through the snowy landscape or a walk in the crisp, cool mountain air creates magical Christmas moments. Whether you prefer to relax in a warm mountain hut or explore the surroundings on skis or on foot, Tyrol offers winter experiences that bring peace and new energy—just what one needs at Christmas!
Tyrol – a winter paradise
Tyrol is also a paradise in winter for those who love being active: skiing, tobogganing, snowshoeing, or cross-country skiing. Especially at Christmas time, many ski resorts offer special events. First you enjoy the slopes, and afterwards you can relax with a cup of tea while taking in the stunning views.
In local inns and at the markets, festive specialties such as Kiachl (fried dough served with lingonberries) and baked potatoes await, and everywhere the air is filled with the scent of cinnamon, cloves, and fresh gingerbread. A visit to a Tyrolean inn or mountain hut during the Christmas season perfectly completes the experience and brings every guest into a festive mood with traditional dishes.
Eventful days and peaceful evenings
During the day, the snow-covered mountains offer a wide range of activities. But the evenings in Tyrol hold a charm of their own. Many places host atmospheric torch-lit hikes that connect the tranquility of nature with the magic of Advent. On Christmas Eve, festive masses are held in Tyrolean churches, attracting guests from all over the world.
At Posthotel Achenkirch, you can also expect a wide range of Christmas offerings that enhance the festive atmosphere and increase the anticipation. Discover our offers.
