The Zell am See-Kaprun region in Austria shines with a stunning variety of festive Advent markets and experiences during the pre-Christmas season. One of the standout highlights is the Lumagica Light Park – an illuminated path that winds through Zell’s pedestrian zone and along the lakeshore, enchanting visitors with its imaginative light displays, featuring everything from animal figures and musical instruments to beautiful light sculptures.
The 2024 Zell am See-Kaprun Starry Advent kicks off on November 20, 2024, in the heart of Zell am See. Here, you’ll find the Zeller Starry Advent Market at the town square, with charming wooden huts, local food specialties, and regional crafts on offer.
Light installations play a central role in the Christmas festivities:
Against the backdrop of the glowing stars reflected in Lake Zell, the Advent season can be enjoyed at the Zeller Starry Advent Market on the shores of Elisabeth Park, starting November 21, 2024.
Equipped with beautiful Christmas light displays, the Advent Market at the Grand Hotel Zell am See opens its doors every Advent weekend.
In Thumersbach, the Christkindl Workshop on December 7 and 8 will feature artisan stalls along with a diverse program of activities for all ages. The traditional Christkindl Market at the Sport Resort Alpenblick will also host five magical evenings in December, offering a cozy and intimate atmosphere.
In the town center of Kaprun, the Parish Advent at Kirchbichl invites you to experience regional specialties, traditional shepherd’s plays, Christmas music, and a visit from Saint Nicholas. And on December 5, the Krampus Run, a beloved tradition, will take place through the heart of Kaprun.
A true highlight of the holiday season in Zell am See-Kaprun is the Lumagica Light Park. The illuminated path meanders through the pedestrian zone and along the lake, immersing visitors in a magical world of glowing animals, instruments, and intricate light sculptures.
The festive atmosphere continues on the MS Schmittenhöhe excursion boat, which sets sail for the Starry Cruise every Sunday, on St. Nicholas Day, throughout the Christmas holidays, and into the New Year.
